How you'll make an impact in this role

Ascension St Agnes offers CRNAs an environment to practice throughout the full range of the perioperative arena covering a wide variety of cases. CRNAs practice with a high-level of autonomy in a supervision and collaborative team environment. It is expected for the CRNA to place CVCs, arterial lines, US guided peripheral nerve blocks, epidurals/spinals, etc. on their assigned cases. If no recent experience with different procedures, we will assist with training and mentorship until the CRNA feels comfortable. A variety of shifts are offered under a flexible staffing system that caters to a positive worklife balance. There are SRNAs from three local programs providing preceptorship opportunities. Currently, we are expanding in surgical volume and anesthesia responsibilities creating an opening for more CRNAs.
