The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) choosing to quit their primary place of employment. Interpretative phenomenological analysis is the qualitative framework for this study. Ten CRNAs were interviewed about their experience of quitting their job. Interview transcripts were analyzed for common themes. Common themes were the desire for better work-life fit, the impact of stressful work intensity, and exposure to poor leadership. This study suggests that a focus on ensuring job fit for personal goals outside of work may improve CRNA retention. This study also provides practice implications for hospital leadership, as well as direction for future qualitative and quantitative research.
