Nurse Anesthetists

At HSS, we will never stand in the way of fresh and innovative thinking. So when you join us as a nurse anesthetist (CRNA)—an advanced practice nurse (APN)—your ideas and enthusiasm will ensure our medical and nursing practice, and our organization, is constantly growing and improving. You’ll work independently and in collaboration with HSS physicians and surgeons in one of a variety of specialties & subspecialties to analyze each step of the care and treatment process, and develop clear strategies that help our patients achieve optimal healing and recovery.

At HSS, CRNAs provide anesthesia and anesthesia-related care services upon request, assignment, and referral by the patient’s physician/surgeon most often to facilitate diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical procedures.
