13-hour shifts

Full details

This is a six-month temporary assignment for an experienced CRNA at Huntsville Hospital, offered as a W-2 position at $250 per hour. The rate is the only compensation; no other differentials or sign-on bonuses apply. The role is part-time on an as-needed basis, and the assigned shift is the third shift on weekends, covering Friday and Saturday nights only. The contract treats the CRNA as an employee for at least six months.

The CRNA would provide anesthesia care to patients of every acuity level and across all ages in several settings, including surgical, obstetric, diagnostic, therapeutic, and pain management procedures. The assignment carries no health insurance or other benefits, no disability or life coverage, no ETO accrual, and no 401(k) match.

Candidates need a current registered nurse license in Alabama or a compact-state RN license, must meet all state rules governing CRNAs, and must have graduated from a nurse anesthesia program accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs or its predecessor. Current certification or recertification through the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists is required, along with demonstrated ongoing clinical competence. ACLS, BLS, and PALS certifications from the American Heart Association are also expected.

Other expectations include working with a range of anesthesia and perioperative equipment, interpreting the data it produces, and communicating clearly, both verbally and in writing, with nurses and other disciplines. The CRNA should understand growth and development across the lifespan, apply infection prevention practices, keep patient records confidential, and follow facility policies and procedures.

Huntsville Hospital is a locally governed, nonprofit health system and the region's primary referral center for advanced and specialty care. It operates a Level I Trauma Center, a Level III regional neonatal ICU, and a specialized orthopedic and spine tower, and its three Madison County hospitals together have 971 licensed beds. Employees can use continuing education, a clinical ladder, a nurse residency program, tuition assistance, child care, and wellness resources.
