The Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) role offers a unique opportunity for advanced practice nursing professionals to deliver high-quality anesthesia care in a dynamic outpatient-focused hospital setting. This full-time, contract-based CRNA position is designed for an independent practitioner seeking a weekday-only schedule with no call, nights, or weekend obligations.

The CRNA will join a well-supported anesthesia department with access to a full post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), seasoned operating room teams, and advanced electronic medical records (EMR) systems. The facility is transitioning from Cerner to Epic in late 2026, ensuring ongoing improvements in clinical documentation and workflow. The role is ideal for a CRNA who thrives in an environment focused on outpatient surgical procedures and values a collaborative, procedure-oriented approach to patient care.
The location offers a balanced lifestyle with reliable housing options, short commutes, and convenient access to local amenities and outdoor recreation. The CRNA will benefit from a supportive team structure and comprehensive credentialing and onboarding support provided by the organization. This is a time-limited opportunity, making it particularly attractive for CRNAs interested in expanding their clinical exposure and professional network.
