CRNA Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a crna in Minnesota?
Becoming a crna in Minnesota requires completing an accredited nurse anesthesia program at the master's or doctoral level, then passing the National Certification Examination administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists. Minnesota licenses CRNAs through the Minnesota Board of Nursing under an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse designation. Before entering a CRNA program, candidates typically complete at least one year of acute care or critical care nursing experience.
How much do CRNAs make in Minnesota?
CRNAs in Minnesota earn a median of about $266,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $221,970 for the lowest 10% to over $292,200 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire crnas in Minnesota?
Minnesota crna roles are posted by Allina Health, Mayo Clinic, and HealthPartners and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems and its concentration of ambulatory surgery centers create particularly steady demand across the metro and regional markets.
Which Minnesota cities have the most crna jobs?
Saint Paul, Minneapolis, and Grand Rapids are the Minnesota cities with the most crna openings. The Twin Cities drive the largest volume through major health systems headquartered there, while Rochester's concentration of specialists at Mayo Clinic sustains strong demand, and Duluth's regional hospital and surgical network anchors openings in the northeastern part of the state.
Are there remote crna jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. CRNAs perform hands-on anesthesia care that requires physical presence in a clinical setting, so the role is not suited to remote work by nature. About 0% of crna openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those listings typically involve telemedicine oversight, administrative, or educational responsibilities rather than direct patient anesthesia care.
How can I get hired as a crna in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate CRNA positions at large Minnesota health systems that regularly onboard new program graduates, including Mayo Clinic and Allina Health, both of which have structured onboarding tracks for new CRNAs. Candidates coming from ICU or CVICU nursing roles have the strongest lateral footing. A current NBCRNA certification and an active Minnesota APRN license are the credentials that move a new-grad application to the top of the review pile.
Where can I find and apply to crna jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to crna jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings updated regularly. Search for roles that fit your specialty and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that match. No detours needed, the listings and application links are all in one place.
