1099 locum

Full details

The schedule is 07:00 - 15:00, as posted. An immediate opening exists for a locum Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Fort Kent, Maine, on a 13-week contract. Applicants should have at least one year of experience, and experience as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting is preferred.

The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia and providing patient care before, during and after surgery. The CRNA also takes part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, supplies trauma stabilization and critical care, and manages acute and chronic pain. Ongoing study of new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs is expected, along with thorough, accurate charting.

Candidates need an active, unrestricted RN license in the state where they will work; a new license can be arranged if the assignment requires one. Licenses that are flagged or under investigation disqualify a candidate. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is required, plus a Master's or Doctorate in Nursing Practice from an accredited CRNA program, with the DNP mandatory starting in 2025. Certification from the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists must be held and maintained through continuing medical education, as must the medical licenses.

Strong clinical skill in anesthesia delivery, sound critical thinking, clear communication with the surgical team, careful attention to detail and flexibility as patient conditions shift are all valued. The employer compares the candidate's profile against these qualifications before proceeding.

The package includes access to leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, pay described as competitive and transparent, and application and assignment support. Credentialing and licensing are handled in-house, travel and lodging are covered, and timekeeping and document management are streamlined. Malpractice coverage and risk management support are provided, and other benefits may apply where the law requires them.
