As much as the CRNA profession has grown and evolved through the years, there’s still plenty of work to do when it comes to educating the general public about what a CRNA is and does.

We’ve seen in recent years that a number of CNRAs have leveraged social media to help bring much-needed awareness to anesthesia. One of those people is Rhianna Ferial, CRNA, who has built a significant following on multiple social media platforms through education, mentoring, and entertaining.

But being a CRNA is just a part of what she does with her time. Rhianna and her husband share a passion for entrepreneurship and that’s led them into finance and real estate as well. She’s an energetic and positive person who represents the profession well, and we’re excited to get to know here more on this episode.  

As you get started on the episode, keep an ear out for these topics:

  • The influence that social media has in many different areas, especially with advertising.
  • How she became aware of the CRNA profession and decided to go back school.
  • How she got so involved in social media and how she built her following.
  • The many pursuits and passions she has outside of anesthesia.
  • The goal to become a millionaire by the age of 30
  • Her approach to real estate and why she invests so much time and money in it.

Our guest today has quite the story to tell about advocacy but it’s not the same advocacy we normally discuss on the show. Maureen McCartney Anderson, CRNA has been in-volved with her state association in New Jersey for a number of years and was on the path of advocating for professional rights, but that changed dramatically when her baby was born with handicaps. Now she’s pouring much of her energy into advocating for the special needs children’s population and making a difference in her community with the help of other CRNAs.

I started listening to this podcast religiously early on in my CRNA journey, a year before applying to CRNA school. The content in this podcast was one of my most helpful resources for getting into my first choice school, Wake Forest! It has also been a huge motivator for getting involved with the AANA now and throughout my career. I highly recommend this podcast to every prospective CRNA I meet.
