The Value of PRN Staffing for CRNAs:
For healthcare facilities that don’t need full-time CRNAs, PRN (as-needed) staffing provides the flexibility to scale up anesthesia support when necessary without the long-term commitment. Cowford Medical specializes in providing experienced CRNAs on a PRN basis, ensuring that your facility always has access to the best talent when needed.
Conclusion:
CRNAs bring immense value to healthcare teams by enhancing patient care, improving operational efficiency, and providing cost-effective solutions. Whether you need full-time or PRN anesthesia support, having a CRNA on staff can significantly improve your practice’s success and patient outcomes.
