Full details

Carilion Clinic in Roanoke, Virginia is recruiting a full-time certified registered nurse anesthetist for a Level I trauma center. The health system describes itself as a not-for-profit, mission-driven organization with several hospitals, trauma and NICU services, orthopedic and neuroscience institutes, multi-specialty practices, and an academic medical school affiliation.

In this role, the CRNA designs anesthesia plans for patients of every age, working with an anesthesiologist or the referring physician. The provider adjusts the anesthetic as the patient responds, records the course of anesthesia thoroughly, keeps patients safe during care and at handoff to other clinicians, and directs other staff involved in anesthesia delivery.

No call duties come with the job, and night-shift roles carry added incentives. Extra shifts are paid at premium rates, which the posting says average about $200 per hour including premium pay.

Financial terms include a $50,000 sign-on bonus, annual merit raises, and bonus opportunities. The employer funds a pension plan that vests after five years, offers a 403(b) savings plan, and provides medical, dental, life, and vision coverage along with paid time off. The posted salary range runs from $191,297.60 to $306,072.00, and actual pay depends on credentials, education, and prior experience.

Candidates need a degree from an accredited professional nursing program and a graduate degree from a Council on Accreditation-approved nurse anesthesia program. They must hold an active Virginia license as both a registered nurse and a nurse practitioner-nurse anesthetist, hold or renew certification through the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists, and keep current BLS, ACLS, and PALS credentials. No prior work experience is required, and strong communication and interpersonal skills are expected.

The posting describes a collegial team of physicians, CRNAs, and care staff, with mentoring for newly graduated and experienced providers alike. Assignments across the system's facilities are available, which can broaden clinical exposure. Roanoke sits near the Blue Ridge Mountains, with trails, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Smith Mountain Lake nearby, and the posting notes a lower cost of living and nearby universities.
