36-week locum, 10-hour shifts

Full details

The schedule is 10-hour days, 07:00 to 17:30. An immediate opening exists for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Burlington, Vermont, offered as a 36-week contract assignment. Candidates should bring at least one year of experience.

The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia and caring for patients before, during and after surgery. The CRNA also takes part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, stabilizes trauma patients, delivers critical care, and manages acute and chronic pain. Ongoing study of new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs is expected, along with thorough, accurate charting.

Required credentials include a BSN, a graduate anesthesia education from an accredited program (a DNP is required beginning in 2025), and NBCRNA certification, with continuing education needed to keep that certification and the medical licenses active. The nurse must hold an active, unrestricted RN license in the state of practice, with no flags or open investigations; the agency can help with a new license if the assignment calls for one. The employer reviews the candidate's profile against these qualifications.

Desired skills include hands-on anesthesia expertise, sound judgment under pressure, clear communication with the surgical team, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to adjust quickly as patient conditions change.

Benefits described include placements at leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, transparent locum pay described as highly competitive, help with applications and assignment logistics, in-house credentialing and licensing staff, travel and lodging coverage, simplified timekeeping and document handling, and malpractice coverage with risk management support. Other benefits may be provided where local law requires, including reimbursements.
