26-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist assignment is open in Saint Albans, Vermont, running for 26 weeks. The working pattern is five eight-hour shifts, scheduled from 07:00 to 15:00.

The CRNA prepares and gives anesthesia, cares for patients before, during and after surgery, and takes part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Duties also cover trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain. The clinician is expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs and to keep patient records accurate and complete.

Candidates need a BSN and a graduate CRNA credential, either an MSN or DNP from an accredited program, with the DNP required starting in 2025. Certification from the NBCRNA is necessary, along with continuing education to keep that certification and medical licenses current. An active, unencumbered RN license in the assignment state is required, and the license must not be flagged or under investigation. One to two years of CRNA or anesthesia experience is preferred.

The role calls for strong clinical skill in giving anesthesia, sound judgment under pressure, clear communication with surgical teams, and attention to detail as patient conditions shift.

The staffing firm describes benefits including access to a range of hospital and health system settings, pay it presents as competitive and transparent, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage, and help with credentialing, licensing and timekeeping.
