About me:
I am a wife, mom and CRNA (certified registered nurse anesthetist). I went to nursing school to get my ADN, started working and then went back for my BSN. I was a travel nurse for 2 years before starting CRNA school. I loved travel nursing so much but I also love anesthesia so I went back to school to become a CRNA. Fitness is a huge part of my life. I've competed in powerlifting and Crossfit. Jon and I own a gym together. We are vegan because we are both huge animal lovers. We are also foster parents!

I am 28 years old I am a correctional officer and I am thinking about going to nursing school, I just found out about CRNA, how would I know if anesthesia is for me?
I just want to say thank you for being so freaking transparent!
You're welcome! I always try to be!
@@TheSchoellerFamily aaa
Sorry. Type by mistake. Thanks for sharing.
And freaking awesome too!
*I forgot to say I chose no benefits for a higher hourly rate! I will make a whole video about why I chose that and talk about W2 vs 1099! Also, full disclosure there was overtime on this check!*
1!
You should go on at 1❤️ I would definitely be on there🥰👏🏻
1pm
9pm eastern!
9pm !!
Not talking about our salaries only helps employers take advantage of us. Thanks for opening up the conversation!
Agreed!
I've been an elementary school teacher for over 15 years. My salary, before taxes, is 54k a year... and they wonder why there's a teacher shortage.
@@shan6736 yikes!
At 26 years old I have left my career as a correctional officer in pursuit of becoming a CRNA. I start nursing school tomorrow, thanks for the videos!
Update: first semester down, straight As!
Update #2 (6/16/21) : 2nd semester down, 4.0 gpa! was also offered a TAship by my anatomy professor and a cool research position in the health science lab.
Pooh Good luck!!!!
I worked as a CPS worker and graduate nursing school in October (10 month RN program)! It is hard but totally worth it!
your gonna do great!!
Wow that's awesome, good luck!
I was a CO when I was 24-27. Currently an RN. You made a good decision!
that's about right im a CRNA from Texas moved to West Virgina for a contract Job , hourly pay is around 135-140 hr plus overtime... started out as a Anesthesia tech, then Nursing got my BSN then CRNA Follow what your passion about. also I moved back to my parents house during my SRNA program saved me some money. I gave my first check to my parents as a thank gift for always supporting me....just stay committed and push through and you'll make it
That is such a thoughtful gift 😭
I’m 26, do I still have a chance at life in switching to pursue something in the nursing field? Give me some courage please ....
Alehwaleh do you still have a chance in life ??? Is that even a question ?!!!! Yess, As long as God gave you that gift of life anything is possible ! I seen people in there 40s doing nursing or and doing CRNA or NP or any medical field with kids. One of my peers was a single mother with three kids she pushed through it and is now a Nurse practitioner... she never gave up.. now that’s a power women! do your prerequisite at a community college then do the RN (ADN) to get started working then BSN online or in Campus. Most hospitals will pay to get your BSN not a lot but some help with tuition. P.s. I’m 26 also 😬
@Alehwaleh Girl thank you for the question. Same boat rightnow. @Rhianna @@pi8617 Hey. Thank you both for sharing such inspiration. I have a question @PI86. If you already attain a degree Health Science in a community college. It’s an accredited traditional institute. I am thinking of pursing a ADN program due to cost and location. Would I be considered as a BSN in the health system after graduation? Thank you in advance!🙏🏾
@@alehwaleh 26 is a 👶 you can literally still do anything at 26, especially anesthesia
I’m still only in middle school but I really want to become a CRNA!! You are inspiring!!
You gloat about that paycheck all you want. You put in the work and are now reaping the rewards. Thank you for your transparency. Looking forward to the w-2 vs 1099 video
Thanks for the transparency! Society seems to frown upon discussing salaries, but it’s a disservice to ourselves and others. Being open and discussing it is helpful in ensuring fair pay.
Oh Rhianna, thank you for your transparency! Such a blessing to have found your page a year ago. Thank you for this! 💗
Wow, the transparency in this video is truly amazing. This was rewarding for us who need inspiration to get through school, knowing what we’re fighting for isn’t for nothing. Thank you so much I really appreciated this.
The transparency I freaking love it ... I’ve watched your journey from beginning until now you are amazing !
Thank you! Wow!!! I'm glad you decided to post it. It hits differently when you're hearing about it directly than when you're reading a statistic. I'm from California, but still, hearing your numbers was awesome. Totally motivating!
I have 3 semesters left to go for my RN and I'm an avid viewer. I love everything about your family, your lifestyle and your adventures. ❤🙌 goals.
I miss California so much! Thank you for watching! Best of luck to you finishing up your program! 💜
I just want to say thank you so much! I haven't seen any other nurses or nurse anesthetist this transparent and honest and as a new grad nurse (just graduated this May !) who is definitely interested in pursuing CRNA I am so grateful your channel!
I was smiling so hard for you before you announced how much you made! All your hard work has paid off! I’m in my final year of nursing school and enjoy watching your videos! Congratulations!
Thank you so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for your transparency!! It is so refreshing to have someone speak so openly, and definitely helps both with motivation and planning for the future!! Thank you!! And congrats to you, you worked so hard and deserve it!
Thank you and you're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! Not a single “gloating” vibe whatsoever. This information is rarely shown and when it is, it’s through the internet so who knows if it’s true! I’m working on my ASN so I’m not even close yet but that is something to think about and keep me pushing.
I'm so glad it didn't come across that way! Best of luck to you 💜
Rhianna Ferial Thank you!💜
And you earned every single dime of it, you worked hard! You are so sweet, and so humble! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments
Thank you 😭💜
I wish speaking about wage wasn't as taboo as it is. If we are all open about our wages, we would be better off. Im so glad I found your channel! I am not in the medical field, I am a property manager but I LOVE watching you and your life experiences! 💙💚
Me too! I wish I could share all the details!
You shared more than enough, thank you! 😊
Lisha Howard yeah seriously why is it so taboo? I’ve never understood that. I don’t mind speaking about my wage to people. It’s not a big deal.
@@jeremyanderson4901 I feel like it was "unprofessional" not long ago. I am an open book about my wages, I wish more people were as open as us! Good luck to your futureendeavors! 😊
I completely agree. I think that we have been socialized to keep our salaries a secret because companies don’t want to have to pay their employees more. I don’t know about other states but in California it’s completely legal to talk about your salary with your co workers. I love how Rihanna is so transparent and real about nursing. We need more of this from people. I do wish she would share a range for how many hours of overtime she worked but this is still great info!
Thank you for putting this out there! This was super educational and I appreciate the content you produce for us pre-SRNAs, nursing students, RNs, etc!
This was the most wholesome income disclosure I have ever seen. Thank you Rianna!
Rhianna, thank you very much! I appreciate your transparency and your passion to educate and inspire people. Your are brilliant and amazing!
Omg! I really like how transparent you are! Stay inspiring us!
I’m so happy for you! Thank you for sharing this personal info with us. You worked hard for this and you deserve the very best! You’re very wise to continue being frugal. Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you Olga! You're welcome!
Definitely doesn’t feel like you’re showing off. You’re giving information that we all wonder but so few honestly give us. Thank You!
Great job, you’re very humble and love the transparency.
i have a bachelor degree already but i decided to go back to school for nursing , hopefully I can end up being a CRNA. Now i m 29 years old almost finish my 2nd year of BSN program. Right now it's my final month, this year had been SO HARD with most courses online. I struggled A LOT. But i m still here, working 40 hours per week as well as being a full time student. Thanks for sharing this here to give me hope and motivation when I 'm down. Now back to study.
Good luck Suee
@@trucvux9379 thanks Sophie !!!! enjoy my summer vocation now! I did well on my finals , still have 4 more semesters to go. Hope your summer has been great too !
@@sue1416 wishing you a best luck and blessed schooling!! ^^
UPDATE: having a gpa of 3.97 so far, 6 months left until graduating from BSN. will try to get a job in ICU when I graduate. Then apply for CRNA school !
@@sue1416please keep us updated on your journey.
I’m so proud of you!! This is years of hard work paying off and I’m so happy for you 💜
You deserve it for all your hard work!
Aw thank you!
Thank you for sharing such personal information as your salary! I think it’s great that you’re doing this because it gives young people motivation to want to pursue a career as a CRNA.
You're welcome! It's something I would have liked to see when exploring career paths!
Thank you so much for your transparency, I think it is empowering to discuss pay out in the open. This also gets me pumped up to start CRNA school!! Thanks Rhianna!
Thank you for your honesty. I've been looking for straight up answers. Others kind of go around the bush. But you so far is the only one who is 💯 transparent. Thx. You have a new subscriber. 👍
Thanks for making this video! It helps many aspiring CRNA’s get an idea of how much they will be making. I look forward to your future videos ☺️
I just graduated from my BSN program and am a new nurse in Charleston, WV! I plan on applying to a CRNA program in a few years. You have been such an inspiration and motivator for me! Your videos are so helpful and informative! It's especially helpful to me since you are in the same area as me! I appreciate you!
Karissa Hudnall Any nursing advice for a pre nursing major! ❤️
Thank you so much for your time making these videos! I love your honesty and getting straight to the point. Love your channel and so excited to become a future CRNA
Even though you removed the stub.. This has all the details I needed. The more I follow you and Jon the more I learn about about real estate and crna... 🇯🇲
I'm happy it helped! Just FYI that check had overtime on it so it won't be that much every week.
Thank you for being a resource to us! One of the reasons I love your channel is because you are so open and honest. You worked hard and put in the time so you deserve it. God bless you and every patient you take care of! 😘
Thank you so mucb Renee, that is so sweet 😭 💕
I think it’s really awesome you shared your pay! Money is always a taboo subject but I think it’s definitely necessary to talk about. I have no desire to be a crna but think this is really helpful for those who do want to pursue that. You have worked so freaking hard to be where you’re at and you deserve what you make!
Congrats girl 🥳. I was helpful seeing a full disclosure about how much a crna gets paid. Thank you for the transparency, i think it helps others who may be thinking about it
Wow! You’re an open book!! Thank you so much for being so open with us ❤️
You are such a breath of fresh air 😇😇 thank you for being honest
You're welcome 💕
I love how you talk about this because financial security is definitely important!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm a senior in high school wanting to become a CRNA, and your transparency helps tremendously. Seriously, thank you so much.
Me too but I have no idea how I’m gonna get there 😭💀
I’m from WV too and want to pursue CRNA school. I’m so happy I found you! Let’s go MOUNTAINEERS 💙💛
How freaking amazing! Thanks for being so honest & motivating to others. I’m applying for nursing school and becoming a CRNA has been interesting me.
Great video. I work in Emergency Medicine as an NP, which our pay is similar to CRNAs here in AZ. I had to ask myself the same question regarding the stress, liability, and whacky hours, because ultimately that’s why there is such a drastic pay difference between CRNA, EM and other APP specialties (and I’ve done others). For me it’s a resounding yes, but it’s a very important question to know the answer to, particularly in the case of CRNA because the initial investment is huge. I think it would be helpful to make that video as many primarily focus on the salary as their sole decision making process for moving forward with CRNA, NP, etc.
Congratulations! I am going to keep going and be motivated by your accomplishment because this is sooo inspirational.
This is SO informational oh my god. I start nursing school this semester and have always wanted to be an ICU nurse practitioner but we’ll see how I feel at the end of school!
Thank you ! This is the type of transparency we need.
That's a heck of an accomplishment super motivated by this all of your hard work paid off proud of you may God keep blessing you and your family 🙏🏿
Thank you !
Thank you so much for this transparency! I would love a video on your thoughts about “is it worth it” and also negotiating pay/Bennies/schedule etc. Video would be fascinating!! Love your content
Thank you for sharing your pay and being transparent. It really motivated me to want to work hard. Your transparency made me subscribed. Thank you 😊
Love these types of videos! Thanks so much for sharing. That is an awesome salary especially if you live in a relatively low cost area.
Thanks I'm glad you do! Yes it is!
we love the transparency!!!
💜💜💜
Congratulations baby girl! Hardwork pays off! Super proud of you!
Thank you for sharing. You are not at all showing off. You shared exactly what we wanted to know about the pay straight forward. You are awesome! TY again 🙏❤
Most CRNA's I work with get drilled with overtime like crazy, which in return burns them out within a decade of working. Majority that I talk to really are burned out. Same goes with most nurses. I feel like travel or contract is thje best way to stay in the field and continue to get enrichment for the hard work put in.
Thank you for being so candid about pay. It doesn't come across as gloating at all. How does the stress of being a CRNA compare to the stress of working at a level 1 trauma ICU?
you deserve this! glad all your hard work is now paying off
Thank you so much !!! You should be so proud of yourself for such a big achievement!
Thank you for being so open! My long term dream is to become a CRNA, I start nursing school next month! 😄😬
Congrats on getting into nursing school! That's so exciting!
HOLY CRAP!!! 8K FOR 2 WEEKS!!
Id faint. Well time to go back to school bc i only make 800 2 weeks lol
Dont do it for the money do it because you love it because it is a long progress to become a CRNA
don't listen to @princepalm do it for the money lmao
@@xRelixYT 🤦
😂😂am going to do it for both
@@jamestinakamara6111 Exactly
I’ve been watching a toooon of your videos over the last few days, and it’s awesome to see your excitement through it all!
I have an interview in 6 days for crna school so I’m excited and also very nervous😅looking forward to seeing your next videos!😁
Following because I love your humbleness. I’m looking into different specialties. Came across your critical care vlog now I’m watching all of your videos ❤️ never looked into CRNA
I’m first here!!! It’s been so long since I said that 😩. It’s my last nursing school semester and I am pre-stress about the stress this Fall🧘🏾♀️
You're so close! I know it's a stressful time. Sending you positive vibes!
How’s it going so far?
You make more in one month than I will this entire year 😭 oh the struggles of being a nursing student. I graduate in December and I can’t wait to have a real paycheck!!!
Wait u get paid as a student?
Atne of course not, I have a job.
For real 😂 when I was a student I made like $10k a year working as a tech lol
Honestly this video is so helpful, I was trying to find things out and I couldn’t so thank you.
I just love the fact your live video will be on Sunday!
West Virginia! YES! That’s where I am girl! I’m on my journey trying to get to where you are! 😊💓
Good video, the best decision I made as a RN nurse was to create a side hustle for extra income streams. It really helps for the future.
Great stuff, how did you go about that please enlighten me, I'm interested
I made a couple of investments but my investment in forex trading has been yielding good profits and I Don't think of stopping anytime soon.
@@janellecliffs5351 I'd like to learn more about forex, I've made research but I still get confused at some point, what do you suggest ?
@@maxcornell7655 I had similar experience at first but I got to know better when I contacted an expert trader, he has helped me in making real cash from trading, I make good profits weekly....
Sounds better and pretty easier, how can I connect with your expert guide ?
Thank you for this video and your transparency !!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ It's beneficial for us SRNAs to have a little insight!
Fabulously and gracefully done. Shout out to you and your amazing success!!!
Thank you so much 💕
I have no intention of being a CRNA but my son does. Your transparency on the topic of pay is admirable. Stay humble and thank you for what you do.
stay humble? you gonna write that on every channel you visit? that's cute.
@@stevenwilliams6235 I think you have me confused with someone else. But thanks for taking the time to post a garbage reply that makes no sense.
Doesnt matter what you think....that was the point...since you missed it...dont keep yackin on and on either...im not interested in you...you dont want my interest you really dont. Stay humble.
@@stevenwilliams6235 Ok internet tough guy,...If it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, I guess TH-cam should just get rid of the comments section by your "logic." This is the most ridiculous conversation. It's like I'm debating with a box of rocks. There's no point. I think we're done here.
“Is the stress worth the money? My thoughts on being a CRNA” that sounds like an AMAZING title. #JustSaying
Lol
So true the headch and the stress is not worth it
Hafsa Sheikh if it’s what you love it’s worth it if you don’t love it, of course it’s not. But not everyone is lucky enough to have a job they love but they’re lucky if they have a job that atleast can fully provide for themselves and their kids
I agree if it something you love and passionate about its worth but to go to school almost 9 years and have to work under everyone a friend of mine Quit CRNA SCHOOL and did n Nurse practitioner today she have her own clinic and See patients
Coming soon! Love the title suggestion 😍
Congrats on your paycheck! You absolutely deserve it after all of that hard work!
Thank you so much Rihanna. I love your videos. I am still finishing my prerequisites to get into nursing school but your videos motivates me allot. I really really wanna become a CRNA. Thanks ❤️
I've been whaling about taxes for a year now. Come move to California where you can straight up have an aneurysm from the taxes.
I’m having an aneurysm working in the Bay Area, from the traffic and parking fees in SF too 😭
Yeaa, cali takes almost have your paycheck. Theres always contruction that's takes years to finish and I seen no improvement in schools. Like what are they doing with my money.
I moved out of Cali years ago and never regretted one day of it!
I remember when I was a travel nurse there, SO MUCH TAXES!
I can’t wait til I’m doing well enough to be upset about taxes 😈so excited to get into CRNA school
Thank you for all the information! This is definitely something that no one had shared before so thank you! And I have a question, were you able to work while attending the CRNA program?
This is so helpful. I quit my medical sales job to start nursing school this August and am thinking of pursuing CRNA. I am also in WV, so it was perfect to have an idea of what this will actually look like for me!
Thank you so much for sharing and being so open! I am a high school senior and I know I want to be in the medical field but I haven't figured out which exactly.
Nice!! That's the exact amount I got paid per week as a travel crisis RN (med-surg) during covid
You were making $11,000 per week as a traveling crisis RN? Can you please send me the name of the hospital and company your working for so I can apply ASAP!!!! Considering COVID is making a come back, I know they will have positions available soon!
That’s crazy I’m starting nursing school in 2 weeks, I think I want to pursue Anesthesia school after I get a few years under my belt. This type of income will allow me to travel like I want to and be financially comfortable.
I hope you are doing it for the right reasons as well...
@strongbad666 you already have aloy of nurses and Drs and PAs doing it for the money not only that but should she choose a job thats not paying anything? No! If u work as hard as a nurse u deserve the pay.
strongbad666 not a lack of value but a lack of education and responsibility. nothing they do is high risk enough to give them lots of $, and its a shorter program. they do deserve more but not an insane amount
Great video! You inspire me to get back in school as this is my dream job. Thank you 💗
Thank you for sharing this information with us I like many others really appreciate it. I’m so happy for you, best wishes to you and your family.
this is extremely helpful I aspire to be a CRNA 😍
3:58 you're welcome 😂
The real MVP💪🏾
Not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed
Thanks 🙏
great, informative video, Rhianna! You deserve every penny!
I love you with a sisterly love, you have an beautiful spirit🥰
Oh wow you worked PRN while in CRNA school !
I always heard that was taboo. How many days a month on average did you work ?
Many CRNA programs are now making their student sign contract stating they will not work. Also, considering CRNA's are now required to become DNP's, I'm not sure where one would find the time.
Hey @Rhianna why don’t you show us your notes or sell your resources, notes & test that you had in CRNA SCHOOL somewhere on online platform.
I have talked about the study aids I used and highly recommend them! The Vargo Anesthesia app, the Open Anesthesia website, Valley Anesthesia and Apex Anesthesia 😊
Thank you for being transparent! Amazing.. It is educational!
Thank you for sharing all of this information with us. I am a new follower; and your humbleness is a fresh breath of air. I am currently applying for nursing programs; and to become a CRNA is my dream job.
Omigosh that's so amazing! Congrats again !!!! I'm glad that everything all your hard work passion blood sweat and tears paid off! ^_^
By the way! Question: I'm assuming you did a bunch of overtime your first two weeks, because if you got checks like that throughout the year you'd be making 310k/yr :O Which leads me to my second question! Do they pay you hourly? I always wondered if they'd just put you on salary and make you work ungodly hours or actually pay you hourly ? :O
Thank you! Yes, there was overtime on it! I get paid hourly but some places pay a set salary. It varies! I prefer hourly for that reason.
@@TheSchoellerFamily That's so amazing! I had no idea overtime was possible especially when your hourly rate is so high! Is it really 1.5x still if you get overtime? I know you just started and all but do you see it as a normal occurrence to get between 10-15 hours overtime every week if you wanted?
That’s how I feel with increasing income do more traveling for experiences than buying more things or bigger homes and faster cars. 👍
I like that you were transparent. This video is going to be one of your most viewed. I know I'm not the only one that has been searching up salaries and everyone has been quoting websites only. You can't even find a proper Rn salary video on TH-cam. Big up yuhself (That means you're awesome) , and continue to do well.
Thank you so much and congratulations again. U deserve more because u worked hard for it. ❤️
Thank you!!! 💕
What would the stress level of being a CRNA compare to ICU nursing? Less or more?.. Or the same?
I would say a lot more because you have almost total responsibility for the patient as a CRNA, with some MD oversight. RN in an ICU you are responsible, but the physician is ultimately responsible for the patent's care and treatment, and their final outcome.
My $.02 for what it's worth:
You were privileged with ability to attend higher education and then to work hard once you were there. I know not everyone has that privilege. I think sharing your experience is valuable, and transparency helps people to know what to expect and can actually shed light on systemic injustices (such as POC being paid less). Your transparency is appreciated and I don't take it as bragging, bit rather lifting the veil on things often kept hidden so it can be examined in the light.
Privileged??? EARNT! YOU SPAZ. White Europeans especially British French and Germany went through absolute bloodshed to get these countries ahead. Nothing unfair or "privilege" about it
Spot on!! 🖤
Wow congrats! All your hard work paid off 🙂👍🏼 thanks for being so honest 🙂
Thank you Sandy! 💕
Thank you for being transparent!
