The job duties of a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) include ensuring the safe administration of anesthesia services, monitoring patients during surgical procedures, and helping to stabilize a patient during and after surgery. In this career, you also calibrate anesthesia equipment before use, review patient records, and interview the patient to gain the necessary information for safety purposes. As a travel CRNA, you have the same responsibilities, but you work in different medical settings and healthcare facilities on a contract basis. A travel CRNA works in a hospital or clinic temporarily, and they might accept an assignment to provide anesthesiology services overseas.
