Fierce Demand Leads to Abundant Opportunities For Locum CRNAs
Disruptions and realignments in healthcare are hitting the field of Anesthesiology hard. The demand for Anesthesiology services is rising, but there is a severe shortage of Anesthesiologists, CRNAs, and Certified Anesthesia Assistants. The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts a shortage of 12,500 anesthesiologists by 2033.
This rise in demand has made it difficult for hospitals and surgical centers to keep up with patient care.
Opportunities Abound for Locum CRNAs
This has created an abundant opportunity for locum CRNAs, allowing them to fill the gaps in services while at the same time offering job flexibility and freedom.
A locum CRNA is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist who works on a contract basis, filling in for Anesthesiologists or CRNAs who are unavailable due to vacation, illness or other reasons.
Locum CRNAs have several advantages: The ability to choose their hours and locations, often setting their own schedules; the freedom to take time off when needed; and the opportunity to serve patients in different parts of the country.
Locum CRNAs are in high demand and can expect to be compensated well for their services. In addition, some hospitals offer signing bonuses and other incentives for highly qualified individuals. Zip Recruiter data shows the national average annual pay for Locum Tenens CRNA’s is $233,805. Top earners are making over $400,000 annually.
