Practice Model
This is a medically supervised anesthesia environment, but candidates must be comfortable functioning independently within the established care model.
- General anesthesia supervision ratio: 1 anesthesiologist to 4 CRNAs
- Cardiac supervision ratio: 1 anesthesiologist to 2 CRNAs
- The supervising anesthesiologist may not remain in the room for the entire case
Candidates should therefore be clinically confident, adaptable, and comfortable managing cases with appropriate physician oversight.

Specific travel arrangements and reimbursement guidelines will be reviewed with qualified candidates before confirmation.
Compensation
Competitive hourly compensation is available and will be discussed directly with a Med Ninjas recruiter.
Additional compensation categories may apply for:
- Orientation
- Holiday hours
- Overtime worked after the scheduled daily shift

Overtime applies when the CRNA works beyond the scheduled 7:00 AM 5:30 PM shift, rather than solely on the basis of weekly hours.

Candidates interested in transitioning into a permanent position may indicate that preference during the initial discussion.
