Episode 7: New Grad CRNA | That Awkward Period Between Graduation and Starting Work

Welcome back to The Nomadic Clinician! I’m your host, David Warren — dual-certified CRNA and Emergency Nurse Practitioner. In this episode, we’re tackling the weird, quiet, and often overlooked in-between: the awkward period between graduating from CRNA school and actually starting your first job.

I’ll dive into what it’s like to shift from the nonstop intensity of school to the waiting game of credentialing, licensure, and onboarding. We'll talk about the emotional rollercoaster, financial planning during the gap, and how to use that time strategically — from rest and recovery to prepping for day one.

If you’re wrapping up CRNA school or wondering what to expect after graduation, this episode brings clarity, preparation tips, and real talk from someone who’s been through it.

Subscribe and stay tuned for more insights into navigating life before and after the OR.
