CRNA Jobs in Portland, OR

A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) plays a crucial role in the nursing industry by administering anesthesia to patients undergoing surgical, diagnostic, or obstetrical procedures. They monitor patients' vital signs during procedures and adjust anesthesia levels as needed, ensuring patient safety and comfort. CRNAs work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, outpatient care centers, and physicians' offices, and often provide pain management and emergency services. They also play a key role in patient education, explaining procedures and discussing potential risks and benefits.

To become a CRNA, a person needs a strong educational background in nursing and anesthesia, typically including a Bachelor's degree in Nursing, a Master's degree or higher in Nurse Anesthesia, and certification from the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). Important skills for CRNAs include critical thinking, decision-making, communication, and the ability to work under pressure. Before becoming a CRNA, a person may work as a Registered Nurse (RN), an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse, or a nurse practitioner, gaining experience in patient care and learning to work as part of a medical team.
