Full details

This casual, per-diem style opening calls for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist who delivers anesthesia and related care working alongside anesthesiologists. The role begins with a pre-anesthesia patient interview and includes preparing supplies and equipment, checking that everything is safe and working, and keeping medication carts and anesthesia machines stocked. The nurse also places IV lines in the pre-operative holding area, prepares and labels IV fluids, and helps keep the operating room schedule moving.

Other duties include tracking narcotics with accurate sheets, cleaning and sterilizing anesthesia equipment, mixing anesthetics, relaxants and resuscitative drips, and responding to Code 99 (Blue) and other emergencies with proper charting. The position also covers calls for elective intubation, participation in in-service training and department conferences, and any related work assigned.

Physical demands include long periods on foot, occasional lifting of 10 to 50 pounds, and frequent running to emergencies. The nurse may need to help position or transfer patients with assistance and must communicate clearly with patients, families and staff.

Candidates must hold a degree from a nurse anesthesia program accredited by the AANA and pass the AANA certifying exam within one year of hire. A current New York State registration as a Registered Professional Nurse is required, along with completion of the department's anesthesia orientation program.

The posted salary range is described as a good faith estimate of potential base pay at the time of posting, and the final figure may depend on factors such as location, specialty, years of relevant experience, education, credentials, contracts, budget and internal equity.
