An immediate opening exists for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Lewiston, Maine, offered as a locum tenens assignment with a 26-week contract term. Applicants should have at least one year of experience, and the posting lists one to two years as preferred.

The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia and providing patient care before, during, and after surgery.

Strong clinical skill in delivering anesthesia, sound critical thinking, clear communication with the surgical team, and attention to detail as patient conditions shift are all valued. Benefits described include access to leading hospitals and healthcare systems, pay presented as competitive and transparent, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, and help with credentialing, licensing, and assignment paperwork.
