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?

[@Tacos907]

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.

[@triciabraga4084]

Omg! I really like how transparent you are! Stay inspiring us!

[@johnharper5437]

This was the most wholesome income disclosure I have ever seen. Thank you Rianna!

[@latifahhinawy2775]

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!

[@marierobinson5636]

Rhianna, thank you very much! I appreciate your transparency and your passion to educate and inspire people. Your are brilliant and amazing!

Thank you Olga! You're welcome!

[@jaymayzing]

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!

[@velvetp0tat0]

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!

[@darvynm541]

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 ☺️

[@karissastewart3373]

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!

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. 👍

*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!*

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.

[@devinwat]

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!😁

[@brandiehunter6589]

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!

[@DesertTriDad]

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.

[@stellaboima6760]

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 😊

[@juliannadili9363]

you deserve this! glad all your hard work is now paying off

[@sydneyseventies7546]

West Virginia! YES! That’s where I am girl! I’m on my journey trying to get to where you are! 😊💓

[@sidl8698]

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.

[@standriamb1324]

Thank you for this video and your transparency !!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ It's beneficial for us SRNAs to have a little insight!

[@Obii227]

Thank you so much !!! You should be so proud of yourself for such a big achievement!

[@May-zm3ul]

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🧘🏾‍♀️

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

You're so close! I know it's a stressful time. Sending you positive vibes!

[@merlinel3855]

How’s it going so far?

[@haltomj]

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.

[@stevenwilliams6235]

stay humble? you gonna write that on every channel you visit? that's cute.

[@haltomj]

@@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.

[@stevenwilliams6235]

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.

[@haltomj]

@@stevenwilliams6235 Ok internet tough guy,...If it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, I guess KZbin 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.

[@perez1708]

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

[@Gam3r5t93]

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!

[@nicolechen3750]

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?

[@peppaminttea]

Nice!! That's the exact amount I got paid per week as a travel crisis RN (med-surg) during covid

[@ketamine43]

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!

[@normaandpascualaguon5236]

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 🙏❤

[@Jasmine-mh9mr]

Honestly this video is so helpful, I was trying to find things out and I couldn’t so thank you.

[@itsreallykenzie]

this is extremely helpful I aspire to be a CRNA 😍

[@LovelyyAubrey]

That’s how I feel with increasing income do more traveling for experiences than buying more things or bigger homes and faster cars. 👍

[@slb5150]

great, informative video, Rhianna! You deserve every penny!

[@lovelylei7748]

Great video! You inspire me to get back in school as this is my dream job. Thank you 💗

[@2funkyfine]

Is CRNA school math & ochem heavy? I have dyscalcula (math learning difference), but want to pursue CRNA path. It took me 40 hours a week of studying to get an “A” in Ochem. Thank you for the nice video!

[@TJ-dr8sw]

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

[@leonardofajardo6967]

Thank you for being transparent!

[@katibarrett8779]

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.

[@stevelawson1388]

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

[@dot0422]

Spot on!! 🖤

[@marijo1013]

Man I wish I would have taken that path instead of FNP😳 That’s an insane amount of money!! However I don’t know if I would have made it through CRNA school with all the math involved 😂🤣

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

FNP is a great role and is so important ❤️ wish you guys got paid more! You deserve it!
