Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist

Have you ever thought about being a part of something larger than yourself?

Navy CRNAs manage perioperative patient care, and work alongside surgeons and multidisciplinary teams in high-acuity military treatment facilities. The role also offers opportunities to lead and mentor Hospital Corpsmen, support operational medicine, and, depending on assignment, serve with expeditionary, humanitarian, or global-health missions.

From a compensation standpoint, the package is more than base salary.

• Housing allowance (BAH): Varies by duty location, rank, and dependent status but is tax free and allows for you to take home all your income and not apply it to your residence. Also, moving fees are included!
• Board Certification Pay: $8,000 annually for eligible board-certified CRNAs, paid monthly.
• Retention Bonus options: Eligible CRNAs may qualify for annual retention payments of $20,000 for a 2-year agreement, $30,000 for 3 years, $50,000 for 4 years, or $75,000 for 6 years paid for each year of service added.
• Accession incentive: The current Navy Nurse Corps special-pay guidance lists a $250,000 Critical Skill Wartime Specialty Accession Bonus for CRNAs with a 4-year obligation, subject to eligibility, service requirements, and approval.

The Navy also provides FREE comprehensive medical and dental coverage, paid leave (including 4 months maternity/paternity), retirement options, professional development, and the opportunity to practice at military medical facilities in the United States and overseas.

If you are open to a brief conversation, I would be glad to discuss the CRNA community, likely accession pathway, service commitments, and what a personalized compensation estimate could look like based on your experience!
