Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania is looking for a nurse anesthetist to join its Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. This is a full-time, exempt position with a varied schedule that offers flexible and self-scheduling options, with minimal weekend work, no holiday work, no overnight shifts and no call duties.

Pay is listed at $282K to $361K per year, with the upper figure for experienced CRNAs and the lower for new graduates. Sign-on incentives are described as up to $177K, and the package also includes a relocation stipend of $20,000 for eligible hires, up to $75,000 in tuition reimbursement, a $25,000 referral bonus, and extra paid time off granted on the start date. Additional benefits include $3,000 yearly in CME funds with an annual rollover option, more than seven weeks of paid time away plus seven paid holidays, paid parental and medical leave, and a 75% tuition discount for the employee and eligible dependents. Optional bonuses are available for evening, weekend, and specialty coverage.

The clinical caseload spans many surgical services, including trauma, neurosurgery, orthopedics, thoracic, transplant, pediatrics, and robotics. The practice model supports professional growth through leadership roles, education and research opportunities, and continuing education with free CE credits.

The health system is also developing a new nurse anesthesia program, with a planned start in spring 2027, and CRNAs may take part in teaching and training future nurse anesthetists. The department describes a collegial, mission-driven culture grounded in the organization's RITE values.

Candidates need a bachelor's degree in nursing, NBCRNA certification, and a current Pennsylvania registered nurse license. The Hershey area offers good public schools, access to several major eastern cities, and a range of cultural and outdoor activities.
