CRNA work schedule

Do CRNAs enjoy the 3 12-hour shifts a week with 4 off?

or is it usually 5 8 hour shifts?

Thanks

It's really dependent on where you work, the number of CRNA's and the willingness of the group to be flexible and creative. If you are hospital based, you will need to do call for the after hours and weekends, but that should be evenly shared within the group so its not likely you will have to every weekend. If you are employed in an outpatient setting, chances are you will work M-F. If you decide to be an independent contractor, you can work as much or as little as you desire. As you see, there are no hard and fast rules in this profession. Hope this helps.;)

Many CRNAs don't work shifts, they work until the cases are done. That is a difference with most nursing positions.

Could someone give some examples of different settings and schedules they may have for CRNAs?

Everyplace I have been, you work until you are done. Time of day did not matter really. But it is usually a full day. Now, a really big place will be doing surgery almost literally 24-7, and those places may have CRNAs working evening and night shifts, or 12 hour shifts.

Thanks for sharing!!
