The anesthesia group at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in Albany, Georgia is growing its care team and is recruiting a full-time Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. The hospital is a Level II Trauma Center located about midway between Atlanta and the Gulf Coast beaches of Florida. The campus includes 19 operating rooms (one hybrid), two dedicated obstetric operating rooms, and four endoscopy procedure rooms. The caseload is broad, spanning general, urology, orthopedic, vascular, thoracic, neurological, plastic, ENT, and endocrine procedures.

Working under the medical direction of an anesthesiologist, the CRNA gives intravenous, inhaled, and other anesthetics for surgeries, deliveries, and other procedures. Responsibilities include completing pre-anesthesia assessments, preparing and checking equipment for each assigned case, and watching the patient's condition throughout. The provider may be assigned across every area of the anesthesia department and cares for patients of all ages. The role calls for a commitment to the hospital's quality and service standards.

Compensation starts at a base salary of $260,000, with a retirement plan that includes employer matching. Productivity pay is paid yearly and depends on ASA billable units. A $30,000 commitment bonus is offered with a 24-month commitment, and a $50,000 living assistance loan is available to students with a 36-month commitment. Incentive pay, call pay, and other compensation are also mentioned. The position carries no non-compete clause and no contract. Paid time off, holidays, CME days, and an allowance are provided, and relocation help and a referral bonus may be available. On-site amenities include a fully equipped wellness center and gym and a quality-rated child development center.

Education requirements are a bachelor's degree in nursing and a graduate degree in anesthesia, both required. Anesthesia experience of zero to one year is preferred, and experienced providers with two or more years are also preferred. New graduates and students in an accredited program will be considered. Required credentials are CRNA certification, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Basic Life Support (BLS).
