26-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens opening for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is available in Little Falls, Minnesota. The assignment is a 26-week contract and calls for at least one year of experience, with the schedule set as five 8-hour shifts running from 08:00 to 15:00.

The CRNA would prepare and give anesthesia, and oversee patient care before, during, and after surgery. Other duties include taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, stabilizing trauma patients, delivering critical care, and managing acute and chronic pain. The role also requires keeping up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and medications, along with thorough, accurate charting.

Candidates need an active, unrestricted RN license valid in Minnesota, or the state where the assignment is based; a new license can be arranged if the assignment requires one. Licenses that are flagged or under investigation are not acceptable. The employer reviews each candidate's profile against these qualifications.

Required education includes a BSN, plus an MSN or DNP from an accredited nurse anesthesia program, with a DNP required beginning in 2025. Applicants must hold NBCRNA certification and complete the continuing medical education needed to keep that certification and their medical licenses current. Having one to two years of proven CRNA or anesthesia work is preferred.

Desired skills include strong clinical judgment and technical skill in giving anesthesia, sound critical thinking, clear communication with surgical teams, careful attention to detail, and the ability to adjust quickly when a patient's condition changes.

Benefits described include placements at leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, pay presented as competitive and transparent, help with applications and credentialing, travel and lodging coverage, simplified timekeeping and paperwork management, and malpractice coverage with risk management support. Other benefits may be provided where required by law, such as reimbursements.
