W‑2 full-time

Full details

A hospital in Fairbanks, Alaska is recruiting multiple CRNAs for full-time, part-time, or PRN roles, on either day or night shifts. Full-time schedules use block scheduling of three weeks on and two weeks off. The position is a permanent, direct-hire inpatient hospital role.

Compensation is listed as up to $300k in salary, plus a $40,000 sign-on bonus. Additional perks include 90 days of temporary housing, generous paid time off, an onsite gym, childcare support, a $7,500 relocation payment, a $200 per month hospital spending stipend, tuition assistance, and medical, vision, and dental coverage. A 401k with employer matching is also offered. The posting highlights Alaska's lack of state income tax and sales tax and its outdoor recreation.

The caseload is a steady mix of general surgery, orthopedics, OB/GYN, ENT, podiatry, healthy pediatric patients, and GI procedures. CRNAs manage their cases independently, with anesthesiologist support available when needed. High-acuity cases occur less often, so the work stays varied while avoiding the constant intensity of a trauma-heavy setting. Volume is 4-5 operating rooms a day, plus one additional out-of-OR assignment in OB or GI procedures.

The team currently includes five full-time anesthesiologists and is expected to grow to twelve CRNAs. Candidates must be approved to practice as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists. They must also be able to obtain an Alaska or temporary Alaska RN license. Prior CRNA experience is preferred but not required.
