Full details

A locum tenens CRNA opening is available in Quincy, Illinois, on a 26-week contract. The role calls for at least one year of experience as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting, with one to two years preferred.

Duties include preparing and administering anesthesia, providing patient care before, during and after surgery, and taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The provider would also deliver trauma stabilization and critical care interventions, manage acute and chronic pain, keep current with new anesthesia techniques, technology and medications, and keep accurate, complete patient records. The scheduled shift runs five 8-hour days, 07:00 to 15:30.

Candidates need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment, with no flagged or under-investigation licenses; a new license may be arranged if the assignment requires one. A BSN is required, along with an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program, noting that the DNP becomes required as of 2025. Certification from the NBCRNA is expected, and continuing medical education is needed to keep that certification and medical licenses current.

Required skills include clinical expertise and technical skill in administering anesthesia, sound critical thinking, clear communication with the surgical team, attention to detail, and adaptability as patient conditions change.

The benefits described include access to leading hospitals and healthcare systems across varied care settings, pay presented as competitive and transparent, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, and help with applications, credentialing, licensing and timekeeping. Other benefits may be provided where applicable law requires, including reimbursements.
