Nurse Anesthetist
Jobs in the United States.

CRNAs plan and deliver anesthesia care, including general, regional, and sedation, across surgical, obstetric, and procedural settings, managing patients before, during, and after anesthesia. In many rural facilities, CRNAs are the primary anesthesia providers. There is currently 1 CRNA position listed here.

CRNAs graduate from a nurse anesthesia program accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), where admission requires critical-care RN experience, and then pass the National Certification Examination administered by NBCRNA. Certification is maintained through NBCRNA's Continued Professional Certification (CPC) program.

CRNA pay varies with setting, call burden, practice model, and state. Compare the ranges employers post listing by listing.

CRNA supervision rules are set by state law and facility policy rather than the NP practice-authority framework. A number of states have opted out of the federal physician-supervision requirement for anesthesia services, while others require anesthesiologist or physician involvement, so verify the rules for the specific state and facility before accepting a role.

Hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, obstetric units, endoscopy and interventional suites, pain management clinics, and anesthesia group practices. Call requirements and case mix vary widely by setting, so clarify both when comparing offers.
