Meet Christine

Hi, I’m Christine. I have been exactly where you are.

I started as an ICU nurse at NYU Langone, shadowed a CRNA, and knew I had found my calling. Today I am a practicing nurse anesthetist, and I created Thrive CRNA to help you get there too.

Every video, email, and guide here is made to inspire and motivate you, and to remind you that this dream is possible.
