Job Description

Freeman Health System is seeking a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist to join its obstetric anesthesia team in Joplin, Missouri. This full-time W-2 position is focused exclusively on Labor & Delivery coverage and offers a highly structured schedule designed to support work-life balance while maintaining clinical consistency.

The role consists of 24-hour in-house OB coverage within a Level II trauma center. CRNAs in this position work approximately seven 24-hour shifts over a three-week period, followed by a full week off. This predictable rotation provides significant time away from clinical duties while maintaining full-time employment status.

You will join a dedicated team of CRNAs providing anesthesia services solely for the Labor & Delivery unit, which averages approximately 1,800–2,000 deliveries annually. The practice model promotes CRNA autonomy while operating within a supportive, medically supervised framework.
