In this blog, she shares about her motivation for becoming a CRNA, her advice for new CRNAs just starting out, what she enjoys about locums and more.</p><h3><strong>Why did you become a CRNA?</strong></h3><p>After graduating nursing school, my first nursing job was in the ICU. It taught me a lot and I enjoyed the challenge of taking care of critically ill patients. I decided to go back to school to become a CRNA because of my desire to continue challenging myself and provide care autonomously, while still playing an integral role in patient care.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>What advice would you give someone starting out as a CRNA?</strong></h3><p>Take in all the experiences and jump into hard cases to challenge yourself to become a better CRNA. It is stressful at first, but worth the experience and confidence you will gain.</p><h3><strong>Why did you choose to work locums?</strong></h3><p>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;</p><h3><strong>What do you like about CCL?</strong></h3><p>CCL has been amazing to work with! Drew has been super helpful with starting my locum journey. He is very responsive, always reaches out, and keeps me updated.</p><h3><strong>What do you like about working at the facilities CCL has placed you with?</strong></h3><p>I like the facility CCL placed me with because it is a trauma facility where there are a variety of cases and plenty of work! It’s never a boring day!</p><h3><strong>CRNA Opportunities</strong></h3><p>If you’re ready to embark on a rewarding locums adventure and reach patients who need you most, explore our <a href="https://www.crosscountry.com/locums" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">locum tenens CRNA opportunities</a> today!</p><h3><br></h3>
