Thank you for always being so transparent with your journey. You are my #1 resource for the inside scoop about CRNA. I'm 7 months away from graduating with my BSN and plan on becoming a CRNA.
Thank you for listing out all these items for hopeful students. Many times I find that people will look at the general tuition cost and assume that's all they need to expect to spend on getting through CRNA school. You didn't mention taking the SEE which many of us were required to take twice ($300 a piece). I definitely spent thousands of dollars in travel and housing for clinical sites. Not to mention the cost of living I spent over three years, and the compounding interest of the loans from day one of school until you graduate. Many grads come out closer to $200k in debt after it's all said and done.
Oh wow I didn't realize other schools had you pay for the see! My school set it up and paid for us. I'm lucky I didn't have to travel for clinical. I can see how that would add up! Thanks for sharing.
@@edgardo798 sure! But in the mean time here is some simple math. 100k invested. 150k net (conservative) income. In the first year, she will make a 50% annualized ROI on the initial investment. By year 10, a 31% annualized and 1,400% cash on cash return. This math only works of you don't have student loans nor account for income opportunity lost during school due to only be able to work part-time or not at all. 8% is considered a good, average return by most of the world, which makes this ROI astronomical.
Thanks for the video, it was good to see the cost broken down! I do wish they would make it easier for single people that have to work to go to CRNA school...
Thanks for the info I'm contemplating either going to CRNA school or medical school and I think this helps. Been researching while making videos for RUclips and information here was spot on keep up the good work and great content.
Great video! Love these vids and save for my daughters. When I went to college ya kinda went in blind, this is awesome. Not sure what my kiddos will want to do as adults but this is way better info for a prospective student than the schools give you. Love the ones w your typical day too. 😊
Wishing you and your family nothing but blessings and staying healthy! I just wanted to say that your hair looks great, and thank you for making the videos that you make!☺️
Thank you so much for providing this information! I love all of your videos and feel like they are so informative and straight to the point. You must be enjoying just starting out in your career and can't wait to watch more of your experiences!
I'm graduating in December from a school in Pennsylvania. My total costs will be about 120K, but I include living expenses in that too. Tuition alone was probably about 80, cost of living for two years was about 40.
It helped me a lot!! THanks : ))) Korean nurse here who has finally decided to go to the States!(used to live in Tx for 3years) It might take a while, but I'm sure I'll get there some day. stay tuned! bwahaha
I love this type of videos so informative!!! Im an lpn/lvn student right now and completed my prerequisite for RN program. I want to go to CRNA someday 🤞🤞... Can you make videos on how to make your application competitive because from what I have research CRNA school is very competitive and so I wanted to prepare for that. Also, maybe videos about the lectures you guys learn at CRNA school , I think that would be a great video to watch. Thanks 🙏
Hey I was wondering how I could job shadow a crna . Like is it something you can just ask someone randomly or like something you have to apply for lol. I know it sounds dumb but I genuinely want to talk to someone in the field . Plus I have tons of rapid fire questions related to the field, personally I find it easier to just ask in person . Ps. I’m currently studying to get my ADN in a local community college and I’m planning a similar strategy to how you did it . Also much love from Texas I love watching you and your husbands videos .
Being someone who has the goal of wanting to go to anesthesia school, this video made me want to cry a little bit. I have 45k in student loans and the thought of being in debt for the rest of my life just because of school is making me pretty discouraged
You’ll be alright. Just work hard and budget. I’ll have 30k debt by the time I graduate & earn my Bsn. I plan to pay it off within the first year of being a new grad nurse. It’s possible! Speak into existence & be positive but also PLAN how you will pay off your debt.
If you go to a school with say a 100k cost, and you come out with 160k in total(because of interest) in loans, it shouldn't be hard to pay off with salary of CRNA. CRNA'S make 160-175k base and you can easily jump to 200k with 1099 + a bit of overtime in a major metro area alone. In rural areas, you can get well over 200k+, so it shouldn't be hard that to pay it off in a few years if you decide to go.
Girl I'm 100k in undergrad debt right now and just got accepted into CRNA school XD I refuse to be a bedside nurse forever. Nursing during COVID, regardless of being with covid positive patients, is just awful. Understaffed, no resources to get things done properly. I would rather be in more debt but happy with my job.
Rhianna Ferial awesome! I’ve been following your videos & admire the way you methodically plotted your course for success & followed through! I feel I’d have to work while in the program, just to maintain the routine life expenses (bills, car payments, housing, health insurance, etc.) I don’t want to have loans of extraordinary sizes to have to pay back. I understand the compensation for CRNAs is “nice”, but no one wants to work just to pay bills, I.e.; loan repayment. Again, thank you for the material, congrats again & please keep the videos coming 👍🏾
I start CRNA school in January in Texas. I’m expecting to come out owing around $175,000 when it’s all said and done. I’ve heard SoFi is a good company to use to get your student loans from. Wondering if any of your classmates used them, or recommend getting loans elsewhere?
hey i’ve been thinking about becoming a CRNA and i’m a senior in high school right now. whenever i search up what they actually do it feels unclear to me. the pay and having a more independent role in a hospital environment without having to go to med school are super appealing to me but i can’t quite figure out if being a CRNA is right for me. if you could let me know specifically what you do and how to know if i’d like it that would be wonderful!!
Thank you for such an informative and transparent video! It’s so helpful! Were you able to pay outright or did you require loans? If loans, what does the monthly payment on 100k look like?
Hello! This might be a dumb question buttttt.... Do CRNA schools look at your gpa that you received while getting your BSN? Or are they more focused on experience/test scores/recommendation ??? Thank you ❤️
I'm in Massachusetts, only two schools have the program and both of them ask for all your transcripts. Minimum 3.0 GPA to apply, but the students they admit to the program have a 3.6 GPA on average from their undergraduate degree.
Hi Rhianna, both my daughters are in their first year of college and want to be Nurses. My youngest wants to be a CRNA, can you make a video about schools and which is the best or are they all the same.
I start CRNA school in May 2021, how do you recommend I prepare myself before starting? I’m continuing to work in the ICU full time until then, but I feel like I should be studying or learning to prepare myself for it!
No and no. You can get grad plus loans which are federal loans by taking the FAFSA, and those loans are disbursed by the school, but the school doesn't offer loans to the students directly. And even if you CAN work (as in, if your program doesn't forbid it) it's neither worth the small amount of money you'll make or your time as the time is better spent studying or decompressing.
I've heard that they don't prefer schools that are 100% online with no physical campus. But that's nothing official, I always recommend calling the schools your considering and asking!
Are there any jobs I can get with a associates in science while I’m working on getting my bachelors? Any job recommendations that CRNA schools would like me having?
Stacie she has other videos where she describes how she was actually able to pay out of pocket, instead of taking loans. All of her schooling, if I am understanding correctly, was paid out of pocket and she took no loans out, which is totally an amazing accomplishment!

You're welcome, I'm happy to be a resource! Best of luck in the rest of your BSN program!
Wish you luck Samer, I'm graduating in May as well. We will succeed!!
@@joannejean3772 That's awesome and super exciting, best of luck!
how long did it take you for schooling

@@TheSchoellerFamily could you tell me what school that is, please? It looks like it's the only school that cares about students comfort
You are more transparent than most of these people on RUclips, thank you for that !
I don't miss us writing those checks 🤢 but that ROI though 📈 😍
Thanks for sharing her with us. What do you think about a full video on investments in the long term?
Same 🤣
@@edgardo798 sure! But in the mean time here is some simple math. 100k invested. 150k net (conservative) income. In the first year, she will make a 50% annualized ROI on the initial investment.

@@JonSchoellerthanks sir, I really appreciate your time.
Thanks for the video, it was good to see the cost broken down! I do wish they would make it easier for single people that have to work to go to CRNA school...
I'm glad! Yes it's definitely hard for those without a partner earning an income during school.
Thanks for the info I'm contemplating either going to CRNA school or medical school and I think this helps. Been researching while making videos for RUclips and information here was spot on keep up the good work and great content.

Thank you for making this video! I’m about to graduate as an RN BSN and I’m hoping to go to CRNA after 2 years!
That's so exciting! Glad you liked it!
All I know it's all worth it in the end!!! Stay passionate!
100%!!
again more gold!! thank you. thank you for these videos and having them uploaded.
You didn't say how much you spent in therapy over three years. Nursing school about broke me. I couldn't imagine CRNA school lol
No kidding! I hear ya .
I'm graduating in December from a school in Pennsylvania. My total costs will be about 120K, but I include living expenses in that too. Tuition alone was probably about 80, cost of living for two years was about 40.
Thank you I’ve been waiting for a detailed video of this❤️❤️❤️
Edit: you’re my inspiration
Aw you're too kind 😭💕
Thank you for sharing your life with us. It a blessing being is good health. 👌

the us is crazy. you pay 90000 to go to the school and then you have to pay another 1000 just to graduate??? im shook
What crna school did you graduate from ? It’s pretty affordable if you ask me.
I love your videos. They are so helpful. I feel like I’m not going in totally blind 😂

There are less expensive schools depending on where you go. I know, it's an overwhelming number!

Quick question... was that the tuition at a DNP program or an MSN in nurse anesthesia? Congratulations, again on everything! Keep the videos coming ☺️

Which school ?
Ohemgee how did you get in and in what school? There is barely any CRNA schools near my area of Texas (Houston)
Really good video.
I have 2 questions.
1. At what age did you start crna school
2. Do international students get loan for crna
Can you do a video on tips for a new nurse starting in the ICU? I am so scared! Lol
You will be fine. There is another channel called ICU Advantage that has loads of helpful videos for ICU nurses!
Betty Smith I will check it out, thank you!
You will do great! Remember, you learn how to be a nurse on the job!
hey i’ve been thinking about becoming a CRNA and i’m a senior in high school right now. whenever i search up what they actually do it feels unclear to me. the pay and having a more independent role in a hospital environment without having to go to med school are super appealing to me but i can’t quite figure out if being a CRNA is right for me. if you could let me know specifically what you do and how to know if i’d like it that would be wonderful!!
How’s it going for you?
Thank you for such an informative and transparent video! It’s so helpful! Were you able to pay outright or did you require loans? If loans, what does the monthly payment on 100k look like?
I saved up the money travel nursing before starting school so I was able to pay with no loans.
Rhianna Ferial holy cow that’s an incredible accomplishment! Kudos girl! Goals!!!
Lots of love from Nepal.
Will you be doing any more nursing content on this channel?
Just a question. Which school did you attend/graduated to?
Hello! This might be a dumb question buttttt.... Do CRNA schools look at your gpa that you received while getting your BSN? Or are they more focused on experience/test scores/recommendation ??? Thank you ❤️
Hi! No dumb questions! Yes, they look at everything.
I'm in Massachusetts, only two schools have the program and both of them ask for all your transcripts. Minimum 3.0 GPA to apply, but the students they admit to the program have a 3.6 GPA on average from their undergraduate degree.
The list and prices is dizzying. 😵 But as everyone says, totally worth it.
Hi Rhianna, both my daughters are in their first year of college and want to be Nurses. My youngest wants to be a CRNA, can you make a video about schools and which is the best or are they all the same.
I start CRNA school in May 2021, how do you recommend I prepare myself before starting? I’m continuing to work in the ICU full time until then, but I feel like I should be studying or learning to prepare myself for it!
Best of luck to ya in CRNA school! 💪
Do CRNA schools offer loans for living expenses? Are you able to work as you attend school?
No and no. You can get grad plus loans which are federal loans by taking the FAFSA, and those loans are disbursed by the school, but the school doesn't offer loans to the students directly. And even if you CAN work (as in, if your program doesn't forbid it) it's neither worth the small amount of money you'll make or your time as the time is better spent studying or decompressing.
Hey! Love your videos!!!
Did CRNA school care about where you went for your BSN?
I've heard that they don't prefer schools that are 100% online with no physical campus. But that's nothing official, I always recommend calling the schools your considering and asking!
I don’t know how a nursing school would not even have a campus because you need lab and clinical hours.
Are there any jobs I can get with a associates in science while I’m working on getting my bachelors? Any job recommendations that CRNA schools would like me having?
You need intensive care experience, at least 1-2 years, with more recommended. Good luck!
You need ICU experience, usually 2+ years. If you have your ASN and you can move to rural you can get a ICU job easily.
Do you earn money as a nurse while studying for CRNA?
Which school did you go to? :)))
Surprised ya'll didn't use Typhon for tracking
Is being a nurse anesthesiologist stressful and do you recommend being a anesthesiologist?
Wait! Is this out of state or in-state tuition? 😅
In state. She went to camc. That’s where I’m looking at
What tools did you use to study to pass your Nclex?
Kaplan!
@@TheSchoellerFamily thank you
Is their any stipend during CRNA study please reply
Certified Anestheologist Assistant school is more expensive!
Hey one question! Is it true that you must first complete 4 years of BSN in order to go to the CRNA degree?😰 so it would take 8 Years to be a CRNA?
Yesss...... Thats pretty normal for career that makes 200K + a year!!!
What CRNA school did you attend?
Nice
Hey, I am a crna in London, how do I work in America
Can you tell me where you got the precordial for $75 ?
It was more than that but we got a discount through my school. Not sure where from though!
Is the $94,800 covered by loans? Or was this literally OOP costs?
Stacie she has other videos where she describes how she was actually able to pay out of pocket, instead of taking loans. All of her schooling, if I am understanding correctly, was paid out of pocket and she took no loans out, which is totally an amazing accomplishment!
I saved up the money travel nursing before starting school so I was able to pay with no loans.
Rhianna Ferial, this is pretty amazing. The discipline and patience to save through travel nursing is inspiring.
Which school?
Can I get loans if I come from the uk to us to become a crna
I'm not sure how that works. Hopefully someone else will answer who knows!
Crvn
No books?
Books were on there!
@@TheSchoellerFamily oh sorry, my bad. $509. Musta missed that.
Very expensive:)
The short answer is too much
