Full details

Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet is seeking locum tenens CRNAs to fill four full-time-equivalent positions and build out its provider pool for its Procedural Care Units. Assignments are ongoing, run 13 weeks, and can begin as soon as credentialing is complete; part-time locum coverage is also welcome to reach the 4 FTE total. Coverage spans weekdays and rotating weekends across several shift lengths.

Most cases are orthopedic and neurosurgical, with a typical caseload of roughly four to five procedures per shift. Neuro teams include a surgeon, a surgical assistant, a scrub technician and an OR circulating nurse, while orthopedic cases may use two surgical assistants depending on the procedure. The hospital is a Level II trauma center with 10 operating rooms and uses Cerner for its records. Patients are adolescent, adult and geriatric; cardiac, pediatric, major vascular and obstetric cases are excluded, and CRNAs do not place blocks or lines.

Two of the positions call for general OR experience, with no neuro or cardiac background required, and one is preferably suited to outpatient endoscopy under monitored anesthesia care. CRNAs who focus only on orthopedics or neurosurgery, or only on endoscopy, will also be considered. New graduates are accepted, and credentialing typically takes four to six weeks.

Candidates need an NBCRNA certification, BLS, ACLS and PALS, and an active Illinois license or a license in process at submission. Spinal and neurosurgical anesthesia experience is required, while orthopedic and endoscopy experience is preferred. Candidates must be local to the area and must provide proof of COVID and flu vaccinations with their submission.

Pay is listed at $135.00 to $160.00 per hour. Benefits include a 401(k), dental and health insurance, and paid time off. The position is an in-person role at a hospital in the anesthesiology specialty.
