Coverage: Scheduled day hours only (no call) | Guarantee: 8-hour days (schedule may vary)

Why this assignment

Community hospital in a low-acuity Level IV Trauma market with a steady elective schedule.

Two ORs + endoscopy; supportive team of RNs and surgical techs; surgeons on site.

Epic with a paid 4–5 hr onboarding class.

Ideal for a local, drive-in CRNA seeking consistent day work and predictable cases.

Location (no facility name)

Northeast Iowa small-town setting near the US-18/US-63 corridors.

Easy regional access to Waterloo and Rochester, MN; major hubs within a few hours’ drive.

Parking is simple; commutable from multiple nearby communities.

Schedule & Scope

Days only; guaranteed 8 hours (OT eligible after 8 per site policy).

Ongoing, sporadic coverage (primarily PTO backfill); full-time single-day assignments when scheduled.

Case mix: high volume cataracts (≈11–15/day); plus colonoscopies/EGDs, minor ortho (e.g., carpal tunnel), general surgery (adult/peds), total knees (spinal only), urology, and other low-complexity cases.

Excluded: pain management, open heart, burns, transplants, OB, sick peds.

Practice model: supervision-based anesthesia; CRNAs work independently in room with a provider/surgeon on site.

Procedures: spinals, IV regional, minor nerve blocks, ventilation management, local infiltration. (No epidurals/central lines; occasional A-line opportunity—not required.)
