Flagstaff Medical Center CRNA Position:

Group Summary: Flagstaff Medical Center is the larger of two hospitals in the Northern Arizona Healthcare system. CRNAs are based at one of the two hospitals but may cover shifts at either facility (not required). At FMC, there are 16 CRNAs who work collaboratively with 21 physicians in a medical direction model (1:3 ratio). We pride ourselves on having a fun and professionally fulfilling workplace with great case variety, excellent surgeons, and a supportive team.

Case Mix : We cover 12 ORs in the main hospital and 3 ORs at an attached outpatient surgery center. We also cover endoscopy, cardiology, and radiology. Because we are a level 1 trauma center and regional referral center, we cover a broad mix of cases and acuities. CRNAs cover everything except cardiac and OB and can do all procedures. We don't do transplants or neonates. We do a large amount of regional anesthesia in our Main OR and OSC. CRNAs can perform nerve blocks.

Employment Agreement Details : Salaried position with an average of 40-hours per week. Expect to work 3-5 days each week before you hit your 40-hour target. Time off can be taken either as PTO or by grouping your shifts to generate extended off stretches. There is no seniority for requesting time off and we rarely decline vacation requests. PTO accrues based on length of service at NAH. 0-4 years of service receive 28 days per year. > 4 years of service receive 34 days per year. PTO can be carried forward from year to year and doesn't expire.

Assignments : Shifts are 8, 10, or 12 hours long. CRNAs cover days and evenings, but never nights after 11pm. All overnight shifts are covered by physicians. Shifts are either 7a-3p, 7a-5p, 7a-7p, or 3p-11p. Many shifts regularly get out early, but because you're salaried, you don't lose hours. You are never expected to work past the end of your shift unless you choose to pick up extra work. CRNAs work roughly 1 weekend every 5 weeks and 1 weekday evening stretch every 6 weeks.

Extra Work Extra shifts are readily available, but not required.
