Locum CRNA Maintaining Seamless Care with Temporary Staffing

A quick Internet search will tell you that Certified Nurse Anesthetists are in high demand all over the country – and a deeper search will tell you that many health care providers are turning to locum CRNA candidates in an effort to give their patients the seamless, quality care they deserve. 

Surgical Revenue

And no wonder. Surgical services typically make up a majority of healthcare facility revenue, so it is in facilities’ best interests to keep their surgical teams fully staffed. 

While this means CRNAs looking for locum tenens roles will have a variety of jobs to choose from, it also means they have to join an established team and an unknown facility while being prepared to provide top-notch care. 

Well-Equipped

The good news is that your CRNA training has equipped you to do just that.  

CRNAs are highly skilled and have undergone extensive training and credentialing to make sure they can meet the highest standards of patient care in any setting. Plus, a locum CRNA can be a cost-effective solution for clinics and hospitals looking to manage overhead costs while still providing their patients with much-needed care. (With locum tenens CRNA coverage, facilities only pay for the coverage they need.)  

Locum CRNAs also bring with them: 

  • Strong background in physiology, pharmacology and chemistry 
  • Critical thinking skills 
  • Problem solving skills 
  • Attention to detail 
  • Communication skills 
  • Empathy 
  • Lifelong learning 
  • Versatility  

These qualities allow Locum CRNAs to step into any role and serve as champions of patient advocacy and safety. Their education and training allow them to assess patients following surgery, make individualized anesthesia plans and be on the lookout (and prevent) post-anesthesia complications.  

In this way, CRNAs earn the trust of their patients and families, which leads to a more positive healthcare experience and ultimately, better outcomes.
