13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

The schedule is 8-hour days, 07:00 to 15:30. This immediate opening is a 13-week locum contract in Dubois, Pennsylvania, for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Applicants should have at least one year of experience, and one to two years of proven work as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting is preferred.

Duties include preparing and giving anesthesia, caring for patients before, during and after surgery, and taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The role also covers trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain. The nurse is expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and medications and to keep complete, accurate patient records.

Candidates need an active, unrestricted RN license in the state where they will work, and a new license can be arranged if the assignment requires one. Licenses must not be flagged or under investigation. The employer compares the candidate's profile against these qualifications before proceeding.

Education requirements include a BSN and an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program, with the DNP required beginning in 2025. The nurse must hold certification from the NBCRNA and complete continuing medical education to maintain that certification and medical licenses.

Valued skills include technical proficiency in administering anesthesia, sound judgment under pressure, clear communication with the surgical team, careful attention to detail, and the ability to adjust to changing patient conditions.

The benefits package includes access to leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, competitive and transparent locum pay, and application and assignment support. Credentialing and licensing teams work in-house, and travel and lodging are covered. Timekeeping and document management are simplified, and malpractice coverage with risk management support is provided. Other benefits may be offered where required by law, including reimbursements.
