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.

When I was an engineer, I sat in a cubicle all day staring at a screen. I decided I wanted a career change and now, as a nurse anesthetist at HSS, I have the opportunity to meet new people from across the U.S. and around the world every day. People travel here because of our world-class reputation – and that’s something everyone, from surgeons to assistants, works hard to maintain. We do multiple surgeries in a day and strive for perfection every time. HSS is definitely the right fit for me, not just because of its excellent reputation, but because everyone here is dedicated and seems so gratified by their work.
Here are just a few of the many benefits you'll experience as a part of our HSS Center for Advanced Practice Nursing:
