Clinical Role

Seeking an experienced CRNA for an ongoing locums opportunity in St. Augustine, Florida. This is a fast-paced, collaborative care-team environment with coverage across surgery center and hospital settings.

• Coverage Locations: Candidates will be cross-credentialed; coverage is generally expected to remain within the St. Augustine area

• Spinal Anesthesia: Significant total joint volume is performed under spinal anesthesia, most often performed by the CRNA
• Induction/Emergence: Most anesthesiologists request notification to help manage OR flow but do not require close involvement with every induction or emergence; some prefer notification during emergence to ensure the next patient is ready
• Autonomy: CRNAs should be comfortable functioning with limited direct supervision in a fast-paced environment while collaborating with anesthesiologists and receiving clinical assistance when needed
