13-week locum, 9-hour shifts

Full details

A 13-week locum tenens contract is available for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Marion, Indiana. The role calls for at least one year of experience, and the schedule is five 9-hour shifts running 07:00 to 16:00.

The CRNA would prepare and give anesthesia, manage patient care before, during and after surgery, and take part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Other duties include trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain. The clinician is also expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and medications and to keep patient records accurate and complete.

Candidates need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state where they will work; a new license can be obtained if the assignment requires one. Licenses must not be flagged or under investigation. A BSN is required, along with an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program, with the DNP required starting in 2025. National certification from the NBCRNA is also required, and continuing medical education is needed to keep both that certification and the medical licenses current. Experience of one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting is preferred.

Strong clinical and technical skill in delivering anesthesia, sound judgment, clear communication with the surgical team, and attention to detail as patient conditions change are all valued. The sponsoring agency offers access to leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, pay it describes as competitive and transparent, help with applications and assignment logistics, in-house credentialing and licensing support, travel and lodging coverage, simplified timekeeping and document handling, and malpractice coverage with risk management support.
