W‑2 full-time

Full details

This position delivers anesthetic care to patients in the surgical setting at the Wexford Health and Wellness Pavilion. The CRNA evaluates each patient presenting for anesthesia, then designs and carries out the anesthetic plan while keeping accurate medical records; this accounts for roughly 45 percent of the role. Continuous monitoring of anesthetized patients and prompt correction of any abnormal responses make up about 35 percent, with the attending physician kept informed of the plan and consulted on decisions beyond the CRNA's expertise or scope.

Additional responsibilities include creating and putting into practice performance and quality improvement initiatives (about 10 percent), following safety standards and regulatory requirements while upholding nursing and anesthesia association ethics (about 5 percent), and serving as a clinical resource for the wider healthcare team, including mentoring new staff or students (about 5 percent). Other duties may be assigned as needed.

Candidates need a current Pennsylvania RN license or a current multistate 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. The employer also requires CPR certification through the American Heart Association, PALS, ACLS, several Pennsylvania clearance certificates (Acts 34, 33, and 73, including FBI fingerprinting), and adherence to HIPAA and company conduct policies.
