Too Early To Investigate Employment Options?

Hi All,
Just wanted to know what advice you can give regarding sending out "feeler letters" for potential employers for CRNA work.
For someone like me and other SRNAs that just started school last year, is it too early to send out letters to hospitals that employ CRNAs, telling them of my interest in working for them in that particular city?
Some people I talked to are telling me that it's too early. But the fact of the matter is, I'm already thinking of where to relocate after school. Also, someone told me that sending out letters to potential employers may even get me a stipend/contract. Any advice would be appreciated.

V.
