So fun!! Good luck!

@@meetnurselolita thank you 🙏

Great question!! Both institutions have great benefits! They both pay well. UCLA has a little bit more prestige because it is after all a big teaching facility with research, Level 1…but if you don’t care too much about the residency/teaching type of environment, Kaiser would be better I think. The only reason why I say that is because there’s so many Kaiser hospitals that you and your family can go to if you get sick etc and their health system if you ever become a patient is wonderful! But for me, because I love the teaching environment, I’d prefer UCLA. But either one is great!

I will get back to you on that one as I don’t have the most recent $$. I just know that it pays the most in the valley…AZ

Hi! Yes, they do. But I don’t know how much they pay.

That’s so awesome! Yes, finding that mom-life with career is so underrated! Working moms deserve so much more! I wish America would get in the program of seeing what we need more of if we want to raise better people on this planet!

@@meetnurselolita crush kita

Wow! They don’t pay very much! Yes, I’m Filipina haha

Hello! Sorry, late reply. I can get back to you tomorrow or if you don’t mind sharing what they offered you, some audience would love to hear…thank you!

What do you mean? Sorry, I haven’t gotten the chance to put up videos. I keep saying I will soon tho!

Thank you but I had to reject the position because of my son’s disability which requires more of my attention.

Hello! Unfortunately, you have to have a nursing license in the state Mayo Clinic is in - Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota. This also means that you have to pass the Nursing Board Exam. I would reach out to Mayo Clinic Human Resources online.

@@meetnurselolita hello. Thank you so much for your reply. I already passed my NCLEX, however, I choosed N.Y state before, and my license was endorsed to N.Y. What should I do so that I can apply to Mayo Clinic? Thank you 🙂

@@raisaagcaoili4630 Hi Raisa! You can certainly work for Mayo Clinic in Arizona or FL or MN if you choose since you've passed your NCLEX already. You just have to apply for your state license then. You will only have to pay for your application. I recommend you applying for Arizona since it is a compact nursing state, which probably won't matter if you really want to work for Mayo Clinic. Or better yet, you can just submit your job application with Mayo Clinic while simultaneously wait for your AZ state license. DM me on my Instagram @infu_zen if you have other questions since I could reply from there a lot faster.

@@raisaagcaoili4630 Hi! Congratulations! I thought I've already replied to this but maybe it didn't go thru... anyway, yes, you can directly apply to Mayo Clinic...one of the questions on your application will be something like, "..do you have or will you have your license to practice..." and you can just say yes but simultaneously should be applying or pay the fee for your Arizona/FL/MN state license where Mayo Clinic is... follow my IG @infu_zen since I'm on there more often and will likely to reply much faster. Good luck!

Yes, they only count the times you worked as a nurse:)

Yes, they only count your “nursing” years.

Hello! I love Oregon!! What a beautiful state! No, I’m sorry. I don’t know any nurses out there! Good luck and thank you!

Hello! I actually quit the day after I got my schedule because the store wanted me to work EVERY weekend:(

@@meetnurselolita Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. Having to work every weekend :(

Depends what hospital you work at and how many years of nursing experience you have. It ranges from high $40’s to $60’s per hour, which I don’t think is even enough to live off from considering the cost of rent/food/gas

Hi! Yes, they do have one. I don't know much about it except that they are always wanted (hence, busy). But that is the best thing about working in a teaching facility is that I feel like they are very supportive in terms of how they allocate the work that their staff can take.

Thank you!

Oh really? Haha I’ve used both! I love Epic! But I’ve grown to love Cerner

Hi! All of the hospitals that I've worked at has bus transportation outside of them. I believe this is required per city.

@@meetnurselolita thanks so much

Thank you! I agree 💯

Thank you! Will do! I'm happy you appreciate the content! I have a lot of experiences living and working in California, both northern and southern. I hope to put out more videos soon; unfortunately, I've been so busy with my new venture! But thank you for watching!

I think that’s what they used to call it before it got shut down. But doesn’t seem that way about the hospital anymore. I’ve met a lot of staff who truly care about the patients who come thru. It’s the are around it that’s kinda sketchy.

Yep! I know people who fly to SF area to work for a few days straight then fly back home ie OHIO lol

Hello, no you cannot. Since you already have a degree, which I am not sure if your degree is recognized to get into Nursing School Master's Accelerated program. Please re-check. But you cannot be a nurse without going to school for at least 2 years and then taking the Board Exam.

You are absolutely correct! There are so many taxes and BS fees that only CA takes out!

Yes, you are correct! But it does make up for the higher cost of living. And then it depends where you live also in the Bay Area or out in LA County. Yep, the tax bracket sucks both for CA & Federal. But I know some nurses who fly from OH to the Bay Area (northern Cali) to work because the pay is so much greater!

Taxes are not as bad as you think especially if you havw a good tax guy. Who can write off a bunch if stuff including school loans your gas internet car you come out. Or you can stay in states where lvn make the same or more than rn

That’s not how taxes work. Go educate yourself

Here in America a lot of taxes are taken out of our pay. There is a big difference between gross and net pay. You go educate yourself.@@africaoriginalvlogs6140

@@africaoriginalvlogs6140 @africaoriginalvlogs6140 be more polite and go educate yourself

Hi! In some hospitals, PACU is considered Critical Care and you may be able to get get a little bit more. However, OR is very specialized that it’s more in demand. When you look into travel agencies, they pay OR nurses more than PACU nurses. But both departments take CALL so they do get paid standby and call pay.

As far as I know, there isn’t a difference in pay and also it depends on the facility

Thanks for the suggestion! I will do that!

Agreed!!

Yep!! But look at cost of living! Although, I should put up a video on how much rent is there esp. in Palo Alto! It's totally worth it!

3 hr standby yall need to go on strike

@@watching789 there’s no union here to go on strike

Thank you! I need to put up a new video. I've been so busy! How is it in Ghana? I had a classmate in nursing school from Ghana and she was the smartest girl in class. She was also my best friend in school!

@@meetnurselolita oh really that's great I try and send you private message for more information about my moves to USA as a registered nurse, thanks for the information and updates truly speaking you are helping people like Us

Can I have your email address

Given that pay is based strictly on the union contracts, your comment is just sad and cringe.

@@Stewiesan isolated rebuttal u trying to discount pretty privilege the whole world knows it exists and have either benefited or suffered from it. U can’t bully this out of history. Prob u bullied some poor hs girl using ur beauty as a weapon that’s why my comment triggered u. Just know, u will carry that cross till ur grave.

That is not a fact! All nurses are paid equally by their experience, not their bodies!! Geez!

Sad and cringe, but also hilarious! I'm dying laughing LOL

@@halimamumin8164 girls are so thick headed when it comes to pretty privilege

Love your question! In the better areas, no lol

Hi Dustin! I am so sorry about your experience! No one deserves this at all! Personally, I have never known anybody who has ever committed such behaviors. These behaviors are not tolerated!

@@meetnurselolita that's good!! Too bad not every hospital is like yours. I've had a couple female nurses spill the beans on some things A LOT of female nurses do to unconscious male patients under anesthesia and even a Male nurse tell me stories he saw and heard female nurses do. One female nurse told me a story about a local TV anchor who had surgery, word spread throughout the female nurses and female employees in the unit. So afterwards while he was still sedated from anesthesia, 30 or so female nurses quick shuffled in, I'm guessing the recovery room, and took turns lifting his gown up. They thought it was HILARIOUS to sexually degrade him like that. So... out of 30 female nurses NOT ONE had a conscious to stop it or report it??? Kinda disputes the whole "few bad apples" argument. She said that stuff is common, she said female nurses will do that stuff to certain Male patients. It will take a nurse with integrity and honesty to admit it, but I've had a few female nurses admitt that female nurses dont treat male patients with the same respect and dignity as they do female patients, that playing these games with unconscious Male patients is acceptable among female nurses because they see it as harmless fun as long as it's being done to Male patients. Sad

You’re welcome! How is being an NP?

@@meetnurselolita more stress for the same or maybe less pay 😭

@@AnnaNP2019 Wow! Are you serious? That sucks!

@@AnnaNP2019 I think youre working for the wrong company. My wife was offered 170K as an NP for a behavior health hospital in chandler. and that's for 1st year.

@@azhardav I’m interested in becoming a PMHNP like your wife. Would you mind telling me if she had experience as a behavioral health RN? Did she get a Master’s degree or a DNP? Lastly, I’m looking at programs. Did she like hers? If so would you share which program she attended?

Hi Anna! Thanks for watching my video! Yes, it is a tough decision to leave nursing! In fact, I've gone back to it again because yes it is stable but soon had to withdraw again. The schedule just doesn't work out for my family's need. I live in Scottsdale and go a job at Mayo Clinic but just recently had to leave and now starting my own IV hydration business that will soon launch. Please keep me in mind if you ever want to work a few hours here and there with me. I'd like to post a video about this and share my journey as I think a lot of moms and nurses may be walking on the same path as I am.

@@meetnurselolita good for you girl!! I have totally thought about starting an IV infusion/ cosmetics type business but I have never been an entrepreneur and it seems so scary 😭 Let me know if you need a medical director 🤪

@@AnnaNP2019 thank you for the offer! My husband is actually my medical director, thankfully! But I am super excited! It's coming along great! I should be able to launch it this month! It's infu-zen.com. I am currently working on my website! Now, marketing myself is gonna be a little tough one but nonetheless exciting!

Hey Anna! Could we speak on the phone about your offer as a medical director if my husband’s crna license is limited? Thanks! 602-699-4561 (you can text also)

@@meetnurselolita just saw this- your website looks great! Hope the business is doing well!

Hi Anna! I have been a nurse for over 15 years. Endo is an awesome department to work for. I've had the experience to float to Endo and IR when I was a travel nurse in Los Angeles. Congratulations to obtaining your NP degree!

Hi! how was your experience as endo in mayo? and how was the pay too? 😊 I am currently in Endo in IN

Absolutely!!!!!! Especially in hospitals where they allow you to work 8-hour shifts! More than a quarter of your pay 💰 could be from just call pay! It’s awesome! And congrats on your PACU position. We need to keep more ICU experienced nurses in PACU :)

That sounds great! Traffic there is bad! Lol

Hi Alexander! You’re welcome! Nursing is a great career as you can go to so many different avenues and specialties! Also, it is recession proof and will always be in demand. Make sure if you do pursue it, get your bachelor’s degree! Let me know if you how else I could help!

They definitely do not get paid enough for what they do!

Agree does not matter in is ER, ICU, PACU, HOME HEALTH, NURSING HOME, MINIMUN 100 DOLLARS PER HOUR, nurses have to sufer so much and spent most of the time with the clients ......

and your band aid and cotton balls be $2,000 a piece.

100$/hr. Dude, not even regular doctors make that much lmao or PA’s.
