The Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is responsible for delivering high-quality anesthesia care in a rural hospital setting. The work schedule offers flexibility, with four 10-hour days and tiered end-of-day shifts. The typical shift runs from 0700 to 1700, with some shifts extending to 1900 or 2000.

All candidates must possess NBCRNA certification and hold (or be eligible for) an active state license. BLS, ACLS, and PALS certifications are mandatory.
