W‑2 part-time

Full details

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

Additional responsibilities include taking part in developing and carrying out performance or quality improvement initiatives, following the ethical and legal standards of nursing and of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, and maintaining safety standards and regulatory compliance. The CRNA also serves as a clinical resource for the wider healthcare team and may mentor new staff or students. Other duties may be assigned as needed.

Minimum qualifications include a current Pennsylvania RN license or current multi-state licensure 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 certifications from the American Heart Association and complete several clearances, including state criminal background and child abuse checks and FBI fingerprinting.
