Episode 1: How We Got Here – From NP to CRNA | Host Introduction
Welcome to the debut episode of The Nomadic Clinician! I’m your host, David Warren — a dual-certified Emergency Nurse Practitioner and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey: from the high-pressure world of emergency departments as an NP, to the deep dive into nurse anesthesia training, and now full circle as a practicing CRNA.
You’ll hear why I created this podcast — a space for honest conversations about the advanced practice journey, career pivots, and the realities of locum life. I talk about how working in emergency medicine shaped my perspective, what pushed me to go back to school, and how traveling as a clinician has transformed my approach to work and life.
Whether you're considering NP or CRNA school, already practicing, or thinking about transitioning between roles — this episode sets the tone for everything to come. Expect transparency, tips, and tales from the frontlines of healthcare.
Subscribe and join me as we explore what it means to build a career that fits your life — not the other way around.Keywords: Nurse practitioner, CRNA, emergency medicine, nurse anesthesia, nurse anesthesiology, locum tenensFollow me on: Instagram: davidwarrennpYouTube: davidwarrennpTikTok: davidwarrennpSend me an email: davidwarrenrnbsn@gmail.com
