    i was a patient in the hospital and i was in the Heart section of ICU and this young 22 year old nurse, i was her first patient. I was the first patient that she ever put in an IV...She did it perfectly, and i told her to take a picture on her phone and text it to your mom... she did and she said "i did it".....her mom was so proud and happy...

I also wish to add that it is totally refreshing to see a young person accomplish what you have. I'm sure you parents must be extremely proud of you - and rightfully so.

But psych nurses do a lot less, just more responsibility as only charge nurse on the floor. Psych pays way less here, I can’t imagine how much it pays in other less liberal states.

    As someone in his 50s now dealing with an elderly parent whose health is failing, do yourself the biggest favor you possibly can now: get in the habit of saving and investing for the worst times in life, not the best times in life when you imagine yourself retired and on a beach somewhere. You may find yourself set for what remains of YOUR life, but a sick parent or child can wreck those dreams in an instant.

      Just wanted to say be very careful about putting anything into a 401k. Back in 2008 the government caused people to lose whatever they had in their 401k's. Had a family member who lost 68,000+ dollars and to this day has never gotten a penny back in return. Look into better long term investment options.

      Very smart recommendation. Listened to my Dad and contributed the annual max to my 401k every year for 35 years and had a great nest egg in the end. The market will fluctuate during the years but there are plenty of investment mixes from which to choose and vary your risk levels. At a bare minimum, you should contribute the maximum amount your company would match -- otherwise, you're throwing away free money.

    Thanks for being honest about wages. I’m a union heavy equipment operator in Oregon and we make on average $45.26 an hour, and time and a half after eight hours with double time on Sunday or holidays. Four year apprenticeship starting at 80% of journeyman wage. I will say this though, our work in Oregon can be hit and miss due to weather. Average yearly income is around 75k to 110k.
    Congratulations on becoming a nurse!

    Thanks Sierra. The salary link you shared is very helpful. I did a brief salary comparison of different areas. I live in North Carolina. Most of the hospitals in this area gave across the board wage adjustments based on experience (no certification diffs or BSN diffs) earlier this year. I now know why; they must have been losing nurses to better paying areas (which was ,apparently, almost everywhere). Interesting! My wage increase was huge.

    Cheers and well done. When I retired from the Navy, becoming a nurse was my plan. I was basically a logistical and computer guy in the military for 20 years. I took night classes for years to obtain the basic Bio 101, AP 102/102, chem, etc, etc. Since my BS was in computers, I needed to get all of my pre-req courses for Nursing School done for the Application Process started. I applied and was accepted. I took one semester at Nursing School with a very nice college. During the winter break which was 4 weeks, I got a computer job to pay for the next round of books ($$$$). However while doing computer stuff, another person I knew offered me a full time computer job. That was a huge thing for me. I earned a B+ in Nursing school, which as you know is very good. Lot's of people when home and had to re-apply to the school because their grades. I really loved the nursing school, the teaching staff and administration was incredible. But, in 1998 the average starting pay was about 15 per hour/day shift. My computer job was 25/hour/part time. So I wrote a letter to the Ph.D Dean of our school and informed her I was leaving the school. She was very nice and really wanted my to stay. You make great friends with the students and staff, so It was like when I retired from the Navy, a sad day. Now moving forward, my computer positions moved me up to over 100K/ year within 8 years leaving. I had to to retire from computer programming. due to a neck injury. But, even though I am older than most, I would love to start that adventure again. Really, loved the way you broke down the pay process. So many folks don't under day, night, weekend or holiday pay schedules. I'm in a retirement age and still get offers for computer jobs, but having watched your video, I might go back to school! The medical field is in short supply and they help 'everyone'. Thanks and the best luck in your future assignments and growth.

I thought about becoming a nurse myself at one point, but the idea of sticking a needle on someone's body was just too much for me 😂Stay with nursing, you obviously seem very passionate about it and that's what matters! I'm in healthcare as well, just not anything with providing direct medical care. I'm and administrator and that works best for me. Thanks for sharing. If your interested in ways to pay off your student loans I know how to do so by still being a nurse. Just FYI.

    That’s actually really good. In 2017, nurses where I worked made significantly less than that even with many years of ICU experience. Some of the clinical ladders to increase pay make it almost impossible after a certain point. A lot of hospitals will pay as little as possible and staff as little as possible. We got several “market raises” because our pay was behind everyone else. The raises are a joke too. Inflation used to be about 2% and our standard raise was 2% so really we weren’t even getting a real raise. I’ve changed careers but it’s nice to see that some of you all are at least getting paid better. Unfortunately, I feel like travel nursing or changing jobs every two years is the best way to make money as an RN because a lot of hospitals don’t take care of their nurses.

My pay is way lower: $30.14/hr base, $3.50/hr diff for night shift, and $5.50/hr if it's a weekend. No incentives, but I can get time and a half as well as a sign-on bonus of 15k for a one year contract. I feel like Florida doesn't pay nurses that high as I'm seeing many Floridian nurses make less on average. That's OK though, this pay is literally double my last job's pay with the base pay alone.

    Good video. Im in Florida and am a Respiratory Therapist. Been one for 1 1/2 years now. I know from my nurse friends the new grad nurse pay is 1.50 more than RTs. Pay in florida is horrible but is starting to get better. I was hired at 23.50/hr but within 2 months they increased the new grad base pay to 27/hr and now Im paid 28.34/hr. Our evening weekday differential is $3. Weekday nights is $4 and weekends is $2 on top of whatever the evening/night differential is. My first year up until august our OT bonus was $700 on top of time and a half but since august it has been $500 but we do not get pay a higher incentive outside the bonus like the extra $25/hr you were talking about. .Traveling is where its at if you really want to make money. Ive seen contracts for both nurses and RTs average about 4000 a week and exceed 6000 a week. during the height of covid i saw 12-14000 a week contracts. That being said I am looking at doing a bridge BSN program and making the switch to nursing due to nurses having more opportunity.
