Imagine a career that goes beyond simply clocking in and out — a professional journey where your skills are valued, your growth is prioritized, and your personal well-being matters. At Anesthesia Associates NW (AANW), we’re reimagining what it means to be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
Navigating Your CRNA Career: Permanent vs. Locum Positions
In the constantly evolving American healthcare landscape, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) face a critical decision: locum or permanent positions? Each career track offers its own distinct advantages for professional growth.
At AANW, we’ve intentionally designed our approach to focus on positions that provide stability, growth, and comprehensive support.
The Locum Tenens Landscape
While locum tenens roles might seem like an attractive option because of their short-term flexibility, permanent positions often offer a more holistic approach to professional development. We understand that CRNAs desire more than a paycheck — they want professional opportunities where they can thrive.
Why Permanent Positions Matter
Our permanent opportunities are crafted to provide CRNAs with a robust, supportive environment that nurtures both professional excellence and personal well-being. Unlike fragmented locum roles, we offer a comprehensive career ecosystem. This means that our clinicians enjoy structured career progression, with access to ongoing professional development programs, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative work environment that encourages advanced practice and specialization.
Professional Growth: Your Career Pathway
Continuous development is at the heart of our philosophy. We provide advanced training programs, cutting-edge clinical education, and leadership development tracks that empower you to expand your clinical expertise. Our mentorship from board-certified professionals ensures you’re not just maintaining your skills but actively advancing them.
Compensation and Benefits: Beyond the Paycheck
Our transparent compensation structure goes beyond merely providing a competitive base salary. We offer comprehensive health insurance, robust retirement planning, and performance-based incentives that reflect our commitment to your expertise. Unlike locum positions with fragmented benefits, AANW provides a truly comprehensive package of benefits for associates.
Work-Life Balance: Our Priority
We understand that exceptional healthcare starts with supported healthcare providers. Our permanent positions come with adaptive work arrangements, predictable time off, and proactive burnout prevention strategies. In short, we’re not just offering a job — we’re here to support your entire professional journey.

At AANW, our partners invest in state-of-the-art anesthesia equipment, ensuring you always have the most advanced tools at your disposal to deliver exceptional patient care.
