Full details

This Bronx position sits within the Department of Anesthesiology and is a unionized role under the NYSNA bargaining unit. The CRNA provides general and regional anesthesia to patients while working under an attending anesthesiologist, and also delivers preoperative anesthesia care in the Pre-Anesthesia Assessment Center alongside that attending.

Day-shift work runs Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 7:30 PM, totaling 11.5 scheduled hours per day. The posted hourly rate is $131.28, presented as a starting rate that may shift with differentials, experience, education, or other relevant factors.

Daily duties include stocking the anesthesia cart and supplies, preparing and checking the anesthesia machine before cases, and requisitioning and labeling perioperative medications. The CRNA performs preoperative patient evaluations, establishes intravenous access, applies all required monitoring, and hands off patient care to PACU nurses after procedures. Documentation of medications, non-drug interventions, and events on the anesthesia record is expected to be timely and legible, along with accurate counts of controlled substances. The CRNA also keeps the operating room and anesthesia areas clean and safe and reports equipment problems or supply shortages to anesthesia technicians.

Candidates need a Doctor of Nursing Practice or Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice degree from a nurse anesthesia program accredited by the Council on Accreditation, along with certification from the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists. Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiac Life Support credentials are also required.

Benefits include NYSNA union coverage, experience and education differentials, paid vacation, sick days and holidays, and medical, dental, and vision insurance with low-cost prescription options. Parental leave, a hospital-funded NYSNA pension at no cost to the CRNA, an optional Fidelity 403(b), flexible spending accounts, life and disability coverage, and full tuition reimbursement are also offered. The schedule is described as having no weekends, holidays, call, or night shifts. Additional perks include discounted parking, staff purchase discounts, and chances to teach and mentor other CRNAs.

The employer is Montefiore Medical Center, a teaching hospital affiliated with Albert Einstein College of Medicine, located in the Bronx and reachable by short drive or public transit from Manhattan, Westchester County, Long Island, and northern New Jersey.
