As we observe National APP Week, we take this time to reflect with gratitude on the incredible contributions of our Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) at Cross Country Locums—Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, CRNAs, CNMs, and CAAs and all others who help ensure high-quality, patient-centered care wherever they serve.

As we observe National APP Week, we take this time to reflect with gratitude on the incredible contributions of our Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) at Cross Country Locums—Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, CRNAs, CNMs, and CAAs and all others who help ensure high-quality, patient-centered care wherever they serve.This week is about more than just saying “thank you.” It’s a commitment to listening, understanding, and supporting you—our APPs—because your experiences matter.<h3>Why Our APPs Are Vital — Insights from From Insight to Action</h3>In early 2024, we released <a href="https://www.crosscountry.com/blog/new-report-from-cross-country-locums-from-insight-to-action" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">From Insight to Action: Leveraging Clinician Perspectives for Workforce Success</a>, a survey of physicians and APPs. We learned important things that reaffirm how essential APPs are to our mission.Here are some of the highlights:<ul><li>91% of APPs believe granting full autonomy improves access to care — reflecting your belief that when APPs are enabled to practice at the top of their license, patients benefit.</li><li>70% of providers choose locum tenens work primarily for schedule flexibility—one of the most highly valued benefits.</li></ul> These are not just statistics — these are your voices, your experiences, your hopes and values.<h3>From the Field</h3>Here is a recent reflection from a CRNA who have chosen locums with Cross Country:“I decided to work Locums to have a better work-life balance. I moved to South Carolina from Chicago and working Locums has provided me with the flexibility to work as much as I’d like while being able to travel and see my family."&nbsp;– Cayla C., CRNAThis quote illustrates the unique balance locum work offers: professional fulfillment, flexibility, and an opportunity to shape your career and your life on your terms.<h3>What We’re Doing to Support APPs</h3>Here are some of the ways we strive to support APPs:<ul><li>Providing opportunities that align with your preferences for scope, geography, and schedule.</li><li>Investing in technology that helps you do your job well because tools and systems are part of what allows you to thrive.</li><li>Listening and acting on YOUR feedback. Surveying to better understand what matters—autonomy, quality of care, scheduling, scope of practice—and using that data to inform how we support placements.</li></ul> <h3>A Message to Our APPs</h3>We see you. We value your skills, your compassion, your flexibility, your desire to serve patients at their most critical moments, and your courage to build a career that aligns with both your professional goals and your personal life.Thank you for choosing locums.
