What We Do:

The CRNAs at Johns Hopkins Hospital provide the highest level of care to our patients, education to our students, and support to our institution. Our CRNAs enjoy the ideal combination of work-life balance, clinical diversity, and benefits. Our CRNAs do not work nights/call/weekends/holidays, they enjoy predictable repetitive schedules, have ample time off including professional development days, and we have built the most robust new hire orientation you can find. Reach out to us (see CRNA Roster) to learn more and we can set up a shadow day for you to see for yourself!
