Full details

This part-time position at Wexford Hospital, part of Allegheny Health Network, provides anesthetic care to patients in the surgical setting. The CRNA assesses, plans, evaluates, and carries out anesthetic management for every patient receiving anesthesia care, and keeps accurate medical records; this accounts for about 45% of the role. Continuous monitoring of anesthetized patients and prompt correction of abnormal responses make up roughly 35%, with the attending physician consulted on the plan of care and on any issue beyond the CRNA's knowledge or scope.

Other responsibilities include helping develop and carry out performance and quality improvement efforts (about 10%), following nursing and American Association of Nurse Anesthetists ethical standards along with safety rules and regulatory requirements (about 5%), and serving as a clinical resource for the wider healthcare team, including possibly mentoring new staff or students (about 5%). Additional duties may be assigned as needed.

Required qualifications include a current Pennsylvania RN license or a current multi-state license under the enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact. Certification as a Registered Nurse Anesthetist from the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists is required, and prior CRNA experience is preferred. Candidates must also hold current CPR, PALS, and ACLS credentials from the American Heart Association and complete several clearances: Act 34 criminal background, Act 33 child abuse, Act 73 FBI fingerprinting.
