24-week locum, 10-hour shifts

Full details

The schedule is four 10-hour days a week, 07:00 to 17:00. This immediate locum tenens opening is for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on a 24-week contract that calls for at least one year of experience. The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia, caring for patients before, during and after surgery, and taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Responsibilities also include trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain.

The successful candidate keeps up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and medications and keeps patient records accurate and complete. Required credentials include a BSN, an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program (with the DNP required starting in 2025), and NBCRNA certification, along with continuing education to keep that certification and medical licenses current. An active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment is needed, and licenses that are flagged or under investigation are disqualifying.

Strong technical skill in administering anesthesia, sound judgment under pressure, clear communication with surgical teams, and attention to detail as patient conditions change are all valued. Candidates with one to two years of work as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting are preferred. The staffing agency offers access to leading hospitals and health systems, pay it describes as competitive and transparent, help with applications and licensing, travel and lodging coverage, and malpractice coverage with risk management support.
