Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Typical schedule of approximately 7:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.

• Full-time and part-time opportunities

• over 9 weeks of vacation for the full-time position

• Competitive salary with additional call-pay stipend

• Malleable call rotation

• Limited trauma volume

• Relocation assistance

• Forgivable educational-loan assistance

• Continuing-education support

• Collaborative Anesthesiologist and CRNA team

The Anesthesia Department

The incoming CRNA will join a close-knit department consisting of

• More than 4 CRNAs

• Anesthesiologists

• Approximately 200 cases per month

• Approximately 10-15 births per month

CRNAs practice with flexibility and professional independence while benefiting from physician availability and a medical-supervision structure.

Clinical Case Mix

The surgical program offers clinical variety without open-heart or intracranial cases.

Approximate case distribution

• General Surgery, Ophthalmology, and Urology

• Orthopedics

• Obstetrics and Gynecology

• Additional surgical services

The remaining case mix may include pediatric and thoracic anesthesia, excluding open-heart procedures.

Clinical Responsibilities

The CRNA will provide safe anesthesia care throughout the perioperative process, including:

• Reviewing patient histories and completing pre-anesthesia assessments

• Developing anesthesia plans based on the procedure and the patient’s clinical condition

• Administering general, spinal, obstetrical, pediatric, and thoracic anesthesia

• Placing and managing epidurals

• Performing peripheral nerve blocks

• Performing Bier blocks

• Placing central lines when clinically indicated

• Managing airways and mechanical ventilation

• Monitoring patients throughout procedures

• Supporting postoperative recovery and safe clinical handoffs

• Responding to anesthesia-related emergencies

• Participating in the department’s call rotation

• Collaborating with Anesthesiologists, surgeons, nurses, and operating-room personnel

• Maintaining complete and timely clinical documentation

Candidate Qualifications

Qualified candidates should have

• Graduate education from an accredited nurse-anesthesia program

• Current national CRNA certification

• Eligibility for CRNA licensure and practice authority in Maine

• Current BLS and ACLS certifications

• Clinical competency across the required anesthesia techniques

• Experience with epidurals, peripheral nerve blocks, central lines, Bier blocks, airway management, and ventilation

• Strong communication, clinical judgment, and teamwork skills

Experienced CRNAs are encouraged to apply. New graduates may be considered only if they can independently demonstrate the clinical competencies required by the department.

Compensation and Benefits

The organization offers a competitive hospital-employed package that includes:

• Competitive base salary

• Additional call-pay stipend

• over 9 weeks of vacation for the full-time position

• Relocation assistance

• Forgivable educational-loan support when applicable

• Continuing-education assistance

• Additional hospital benefits based on employment status and the final agreement

Exact compensation, call stipend, benefits, and part-time eligibility will be reviewed directly with qualified candidates.

Life Beyond the Hospital

Northern Maine offers affordable housing, short commutes, four-season recreation, and a welcoming community where healthcare professionals have a visible impact. This position may be especially attractive to a CRNA seeking strong clinical variety without the congestion, pace, and cost associated with a major metropolitan market.
