I'll also discuss some of the benefits you have as an employee working for either of these states.
To put this video together, I had to gather data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, look up the median home prices in every one of the states' high-paying cities, find what the mortgage payments in each city would look like, and calculate the cost-of-living-adjusted net salary after taxes and the mortgage is paid in each one of these cities.
After watching this video, you should have a better idea of which city you will want to move to.

Left Texas for California and make more money here, even with the cost of living being higher.
Exactly
Yeah bs
In law drives 3 hours each way, just to live in no where central valley. Cali is a crap life
Just be smart.
I dont believe you. Lived in cali for 31 years and left 5 years ago. California taxes you crazy amounts
Jason you’re just the best ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVEN MAKING THIS CHANNEL! 🙌🙏
Thank you for leaving a comment! 😁
very informative! Thank you for doing this!
I enjoyed your vid thank you. So glad you back.
As always, thanks for always supporting us!
I love how detailed you are with the breakdown between these two states. It's perfect for those of us who like to compare quantitatively! This content is very high quality and I see it growing quickly--you've certainly earned my sub! One question re: the TX overtime laws though. If you've worked the 7th consecutive day in a workweek, isn't it pretty much guaranteed that the 7th day will be over 40 hours? (i.e. if assuming 8 hour shifts, the 7th work day would be hours 49-56 of the workweek which means overtime, right?)
Hi! Thanks for the comment. Technically, yes if you're working 8 hours per day then the 7th day will be overtime. But they specifically state over 40 hours in one week, which means that if you work in an odd nursing position then your employer can hire you to work every day, 4 hours a day, every day of the week, and you still won't get overtime pay on the 7th day.
I am an RN in Marin County and have been thinking about leaving to Texas for cost of living reasons. Trying to raise a family on one income and save for a house has been difficult even for me making over $70/hour. That being said, I am dreading working in TX as a nurse… your video is making me want to stick it out even longer here in Cali!!
Yeah man... Make money here, invest it, build a nice nest egg, then move.
I've been practicing as a nurse in Texas for nearly 18 years. The pay is terrible, the insurance is even worse, and they try really hard not to use agency staff. They would rather work their nurses short and get a profit then use agency. I work here because my family is here.
We were a single income home for many years with a family of 5 until very recently when my wife got her BSN and became a nurse in TX. Even bought a house during this time. Cost of living is cheap enough to make it happen fairly easily (for us) actually. My salary alone wouldn't have been enough for us to have the same setup (wife going to school full time while I worked with 2/3 kids in daycare) in California and survive. I was born and raised there and still have family and friends there so I have a pretty good idea what the cost of living is like.
I am thinking of studying Nursing. Can we get job after associate degree? Thank you
Always enjoy your content!
Thank you so much. That means a lot to us!
Note: California is the only state with the required by law the Nurse to Patient Ratio. This is a big deal because this protect the nurse from being "worked to death."
Love it Jason! As a Houstonian, I couldn't wait to share this with my family!😁
Thanks dude! I was hoping to see more cities from Texas higher up on the list because of the lower cost of housing. But, the salaries would need to be much higher in order to compete with those in California.
can you do it for NPs?
i think you can make more in Houston...I hear that
When I collected the data, Houston was the highest paying city in Texas, but the cost of living was too high relative to the other cities in Texas. Also, I'll see if I can start putting the numbers together for NPs.
@@NursesToRiches thanks man..I need it as I want to be in Texas...not Houston though
This video was super informative! Hailing from CT and thinking about moving to TX, but sounds like best plan is to do remote work home based in CT and live in TX!
Glad it was helpful! Good luck!
Thanks! Very informative vid!
You're welcome!
You guys are genius!!! Thank you for your videos! Planning to move in Cali soon!
Awesome video!! As a California native, I never knew that other states such as Texas did not have all the benefits such as parent leave and overtime!
Yeah people like to get at California for being so liberal, and California has a looot of flaws (i.e. High levels of crime and homelessness), but there are many laws that exist here that benefit its residents more than any other state in the country.
That's why I laugh so hard I shart anytime nurses strike in Cali. You have the highest pay, ratios, breaks, break nurses, OT after 8 hours... what else do you have to strike about. Meanwhile I'm over here working ER with 21 patients assigned to me, no breaks, short staffed, at $21/hr bc we finally got a raise lol
$21/hr 😩. I know people who work at target and earn more than that.. Poor you, lol.
@@rachaeljensen4236 I’m sorry I work at a biology lab and make more than that. That’s a slap in the face to what you guys gotta put up with smh
@@rachaeljensen4236 So because we get paid you think the hospital isn't doing something sketchy? Nah, we'll strike for patient safety.
This video should have 1 million views.
I wish! 😂
You have a Golden Heart Mr Jayson & Monica
Aww, thank you 🙏🏼
@@NursesToRiches You r such a great family that I have watched almost all your videos and will never leave my Memory
@@perezkashekyebwa7643 damn, didn't know these videos were that impactful. Thank you!
Different story for nurses working at TMC, world-renowned. It’s a matter of who you work for. I know nurses who works there, able to maintain a mortgage and sustain a lifestyle with just one parent working even non-medical field can do. Can’t do that here in California. One employer over there offers medical coverage for free for life. Here am paying $700/mo for the family to be under the care of the doctors at work. I work for the State hospital.
Dude, your channel has helped me so much. I’m a student in Florida and I obsess over this stuff. I’m a finance brain too, and I’ve eventually come around to Sacramento. I forgot that’s exactly where you are; lol, figures. A couple hours from South Lake Tahoe for killer snowboarding too, no less. Now, if I can just convince myself to forego the MMJ card and pass from the BON we get in Oregon, I’m in for the extra $30k/yr before overtime take home. I could feasibly FIRE in ten years with $1.5m+ in Sacramento renting a room (with a little trading luck). Crazy opportunity. Any insight into what the most in-demand specialties are in the area? So far, it looks like the OR sub-specialties pay the most.
Your awesome 😎. Great information. I’m working in Folsom at a LTACH as a new grad. They had us sign an agreement were we don’t get double time unless we go past 80 hours in a 2 week period 😠
That sounds like a shitty facility 🤮. But, hey, as a new grad, you gotta take what you can get.
@@NursesToRiches yes it’s like a step down unit but with 5 patients ….with this minor experience, I’ve been thinking about applying to Cleveland clinic or Mayo Clinic for Icu for a year. That would make me have an upper hand and be able to qualify myself for Crna school.
Crna school awesome goal I hope you achieve it because crna school is getting more competitive every year.
@@mikeg5365 You don't NEED Cleveland Clinic to get into a CRNA program. You need your 3.5 GPA or GRE if u did not get that grade, and 2000hrs working in critical care. A HOSPITAL NAME WON'T GIVE U A CHANCE, sorry.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Can you make a video on your FIRE and retirement goals? Will you be expatriating with your family? I’d love to hear your plan and goals as someone who hopes to FIRE and probably become an expat.
Can you also make a video on your experience changing careers, taking prereqs, and choosing ABSN programs? I'd love to hear how you approached this process from a financial and life goal standpoint. Thank you!
That's a good idea. I'll consider it. Thanks!
@@NursesToRiches Thank you!!!
@@NursesToRiches please do! A FIRE video for singles maybe 🥺
The way I see it, as a single young man with no kids, working nights and weekends, with 3-4 overtime shifts a month in Sacramento, I could invest close to $75-$100k per year while living off of $40-$50k. I would rent a room and basically live like I do as a student. After ten years, compounded in addition to swing trading, I honestly think $1.5m should be 100% possible. Coast FIRE in 10 years at minimum.
In California hospitals with 12 hour shifts they have alternative work week contracts that you give up getting time and half after working 8 hours.
What do you mean? That's not something I've heard of in any hospital.
Most hospital unions contracts have alternative work week overtime calculations and they differentiate 8, 10, and 12 hour workers. So RNs who work 12 hours do not see overtime pay until they go over 12 hours in a shift or 36 hours in a work week. If you go over 12 in a shift it is double time still and not 1.5x. If you pick-up an extra shift and you worked your 3... the entire shift will be 1.5x pay. If you work all 7 in a week the first 8 hours is 1.5x and the last 4 is 2x.
Have you check the nurses salary in Houston working at the Medical Center area? I currently earn 116;000 annually and will have insurance coverage after (aside from Medicare )working in my current hospital for more than 10 years.I live 3 miles away from the Med Center with a mortgage payment of 1800. My subdivision never got flooded .This is is a regular 40 hours per week.Currently the houses here are getting expensive. Got lucky to get this house 12 years ago.Some of my friends who like to work OT earn way higher than me. I can’t think of a hospital in port Arthur that can pay this much unless you are in managerial position or a Nurse practitioner.
I was offered to go back to H-town as an ICU nurse at TMC Memorial Hermann for 58/hr after night differential. I have about 10 years experience and my friends who I used to work with in Htown said I was crazy to turn it down. They asked if I was in management and I said I just applied as regular RN. They said they dont make close to that
Keep in mind, even though many of these benefits aren’t required by law in Texas, many employers still offer them as a way of being competitive.
Our employer paid my wife all 12 weeks for both kids using EIB hours. Methodist Dallas, TX $54/hr as a float nurse
As you’re a past New Yorker, can you please do one comparing NY vs Cali (although alot of nurses in NY, buy their houses in Connecticut or NJ)
Yeah, that's a good idea. There are so many comparisons I want to do that this is probably going to turn into a regular series.
@@NursesToRichesyou’re just awesome. This is such a unique channel, that I have definitely told my other RN friends about it. Keep doing these videos, as I am trying to maximize my income potential to also retire early.
@@NURSESTEPHANIE09 aww thanks so much! The more we can grow this channel, the more income we can earn and use toward hiring someone to help us with research.
You are definitely getting into the right profession though because all healthcare facilities are starving for nurses.
Yes! We were going to move tontexas but found out its way too big, traffic is worse, and the state benefits suck! Plus property taxes are higher. Ill be losing more money if we moved to texas!
I so need this. Thank you! I'm a Filipino Torn between CA and WA. My family is in WA. But I want to work and live in CA specifically SF or Sacramento. ❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
I just moved to sac. I was surprised to see 30% of nurses in my building are Filipino lol.
Can you separate out the property taxes and the mortgage insurance from the mortgage payment ?
Should an international nurse apply directly for the california state to work ? ( As it takes time to adjust for a while from one country to another and to learn the way things work in hospital) ?
What would be your wise advice ? I am thinking of starting from texas.
I work in Port Arthur, tx as a pct finishing my nursing degree. I'm so glad I watched this video. I was debating whether I want to stay or go to CA once I graduate. CA overtime rates are so tempting. Decisions decisions lol
That would be an easy decision if I were in your shoes, lol.
I moved to Northern California from NYC in 2019. It might be helpful to get your first nursing job in a specialty and get 18 months to 2 years under your belt.
Once you have that options open up since some hospital systems don’t take new grads. You can apply for full time jobs or come out as a traveler to try different hospitals before deciding.
@@mancycle1 thanks
@@mancycle1 thanks for that advice!
@@mancycle1 agreed. It would be super high pressure to move to a new state, as a new grad with your livelihood depending on a job your barely know how to do. Way smarter to get 1-2 yr exp, and move to CA a little confidence, plus higher pay.
Hello from Palo Alto, CA.
I have been waiting for you to make a video comparison between MA and CA.
But right now theres no need to since its been more than 6months already since I move here in the Bay Area from Boston.
I still miss Boston but i shifted my mindset this way to be thankful for living and working here in California.
How cool! I'm working at LPCH!
When i search abt California so many people would say they are leaving it cause it's expensive in simple whenever i search abt any country in usa peoples say they are leaving some say it's affordable i am really confuse
What do you advise a single mum of 5 from Africa..Which state would be best to move in as a new diploma grad nurse?
Any chance you could publish the full spread sheet? A lot of info was visible about CA, but not TX
The full spreadsheet is available on our website.
Thank you for your work. Where is the Dallas and Houston in that rank?...
I would like to here analysis between CA and MA
I’m so anxious moving to Florida as I’m from New York. I wish there’s a comparison between this two state.
Florida pays low
Hi, will you do comparison of California vs Washington DC? I’m torn between two states which one will I consider to move. Thanks in advance
I will do my best!
I worked in Texas (San Antonio) for 6 months. Glad im back in the Bay Area. Texas is a dump for nurses.
Move to Vegas. We have one of the highest hourly rates in comparison to cost of living. Lowest paying hospital here as a Icu/ed RN = 100,000 base. Homes are about 30% cheaper than California and a lot better and newer
Yes, but Isn’t Nevada ranked one of the lowest with Texas at an F rating for Parental Leave… 😬
I plan to move to Nevada, do you mean they have the lowest paying hospitals?
@@ronnishawilkinson9166?? The opposite
So due to all the Californians and from other states moving to Vegas and buying multiple homes at a time in cash due to how cheap it was my original comment is sadly becoming obsolete. It is becoming more and more unaffordable
Hello, I would like to know, how does salary and jobs in modesto for nurses?
Hello from Hayward CA….
Hi there ✌️
Hello can you Dona video of psych NP in Cali?
Having lived in both states, your data can be somewhat misleading. It would be better to compare cities like San Diego vs DFW, Houston area vs LA area, Austin vs SF... I do agree the working conditions are better in CA, but the quality of living is really a toss up based on your preference. No state income taxes and lower housing cost in Tx will offset some of the wage disparity. Example; You can buy a nice home in TX with great schools and amenities for around 400k, a similar home/neighborhood in San Diego will put you over 1 million easily.
In future videos I will go more in depth and include safety and crime rate per city but this video only takes the cost of home prices and tax liability into account. And I'm comparing all major cities in each state, not pinning one city against another.
@@NursesToRiches Even by your standard, the only way to compare housing is to find similar area, neighborhood, and schools. I know plenty of CA families making a combine income of 200k+ living in a dump. All I'm saying is there's definitely a trade off.
The goal of this video is to compare median salaries and median home prices. Based on these results, you can deduce on your own which city has the higher cost of living (if owning a home is your priority-and this is the demographic this video is intended for). However, as I mentioned before, crime rate per city is something I will include in future videos.
I live in california, me and my wife make 250k a year and we cannot afford to buy a house and live here. Everything is 2x texas prices
What about California having a State Income Tax vs Texas which does not have, how does that work out. What about other cost is living expenses such as gas, food, and other living expenses? Which State is would you be spending more (or losing more) of your income to higher living costs? I didn’t hear anything in the video about that.
That is what I was saying. Gas in California is double of Texas. And didn't include sales and property tax. Everytime they buy coffee which is more expensive in CA is compounded with CA highest Sale Tax in the country. And even though the property tax rate is lower in CA, the house price is more. So that is also a higher dollar amount. And all that overtime put you in a higher Fed and State income tax bracket too. And what about quality of life? Less homeless and thugs on the streets. And you can have a weapon in Texas. And CA toll roads? They are higher than Texas too. All that adds up!
@@respectamerica2382 agreed, I figure that in the end, California is more expensive with the government taking more of your money
@@LordZandersSoapbox4811 I also want to add, there is NO mandatory State taxes on Labor in Texas. Federal Taxes Only. So, State Unemployment and Workman's Compensation is voluntary. Union Dues and Health Insurance is also voluntary. A Laborer can opted out of all those programs. So other than Federal Taxes, Laborers can take home ALL their pay check.
Although cities in Cali may enter the Top 10 and may pay higher, the cost of living and taxes there would also devour many of your income.
Texas has no state tax, and with lower cost of living. :) Port Arthur is still practically the winner. :)
Well done bro please do for Arizona
Thanks! Will do!
@@NursesToRiches can you just do this for all states lmao - Ohio and or Florida
@@_brittneymayer_ lol. If I knew how to code I could just create a program to do the research for me. But I will eventually get to doing all the states.
@@NursesToRiches LOVE and Appreciate what you're doing ... so .. you're telling me we need to find someone to code for you to create this program ..lol
@@_brittneymayer_ pretty much, lol
Is this spreadsheet accounting property tax too? We have crazy property taxes here in Houston Area.
Yes it does
Thanks we get 2.8% property tax here in Pearland, TX. Crazy crazy taxes and you are right, Texas is now employee friendly especially with sick and maternity benefits. Our insurance is not as good when we were in Albany, NY.
Hello, do operating room nurses and Pacu nurses get as much overtime opportunity or near as much overtime opportunity as a floor or ED nurse?
Not even close, unfortunately. But they can pick up extra shifts for straight pay up to 40 hours per week and pick up on-call shifts. I know PACU nurses that work up to 40 hours of straight pay and 24+ hours of on-call hours at 1.5x pay per week.
@@NursesToRiches ok thank you so much!!
This is great thanks. I am an international student studying Nursing here in a community college. Although, I am still taking my pre-requisites. Will you advise I complete my ADN or transfer to university for BSN. Also, I am in Texas. Will I be able to get a job as a fresh grad.
Thanks
Finish your ADN. You will definitely be able to get a job with it. Then, when you get a job, go back for your BSN and have your employer help you pay for it.
@@NursesToRiches that was definitely my plan. I graduate in May with my ADN.
@@deliteful1991 congratulations
add in fuel costs as that is twice the cost in cali, no mortgage, 3000+sq ft on 13000 ft lot pay cash, just was 440k new
Yeah but you have to commute further in texas to get anywhere and pay money for tolls so you end up paying about the same.
@@globright9127 I've been to the office like 6 times in the last 5 years, wife is a RN travels maybe 20 minutes, her family in cali has 4+ hour round trip to work. Hospitals are every few miles in DFW, oversaturated. Can work close to home anyplace.
Aren't the taxes extremely
High in California though...cost of living
Gas in California is double of Texas. And didn't include sales and property tax. Everytime they buy coffee which is more expensive in CA is compounded with CA highest Sale Tax in the country.

And what about quality of life? Less homeless and thugs on the streets. And you can have a weapon in Texas. And CA toll roads? They are higher than Texas too. All that adds up!
Texas’ property tax is incredibly high, making it not worth it to buy a home in my opinion. I’m a nursing student in Texas and a native of California. As much as California is expensive, there are so much more positives for me to go back home than stay in Texas after graduation. I much rather invest in a home in California, have family, be near a beach, and have more opportunities.
@@alexisvaughan18 You are a liberal aren't you? Please leave!
As a brand new nurse out of school, what pay should I realistically expect when looking for a job?
If you end up getting a job in Northern California, $60+/hr. Southern California, $38+/hr. Anywhere in Texas $28/hr to $35/hr.
@@NursesToRiches how about new york?
@Angelo Algenio new grads in NY start $100k/yr if you work any NYC hospitals, different rates (lower) outside NYC areas. not sure how much is that calculated hourly
How much the Psych NPs earn in California? And what company you recommend to work for? TIA for your reply.
We have a Psych NP in our Discord server that could better answer your question.
@@NursesToRiches thanks for your reply.
My family wants me to move back to Cali after I graduate nursing school
Hi,can you make a video about how foreign trained nursing graduates or nurses can work in the US?
You need to go through homologation process I'll show you who is taking care of international nurses .
Hi!! i just watched all of your videos. They're great!! just got you a new subscriber due to the high value content you provide! Is there anyway we can connect over zoom or via messaging. I just have a couple questions. Again, I love the content and please dont stop :)

Massively high-value. Shows what you can do with this degree and a high IQ.
Thanks sir very informative .
I think nurse earn more but very less saving rate ,
This is just for RN work because of the Union, look at other pay jobs, PA for example, california makes same as ohio. And cost of living in ohio is 1/4 of california
If you've seen my other videos you would not be saying this. My wife's salary increase is bringing her hourly rate up to $123/hr. Her and I are bringing home a combined income of $330,000 this year. That's with me working 20 hours per week and her working and average of 32-36 hours per week. Even after taxes, mortgage, and monthly expenses we have between $9,000 and $14,000 left over every month. There is no way we'd be able to bring home that much in any other state, working the same number of hours.
@jaxxone, Im from Ohio working in a magnet hospital. There is no way Im earning this high unless I worked too many OTs. And COL is not that low in Ohio. My apt is 2BR 1285 than will become 1410 after a year. Others who just get an apt in same neighborhood already starting at 1500. No longer low COL here.
These charts dont include any overtime the nurse has done in a given month. So that means the "True Net" could be higher in CA. Wow, I wonder how often headnurses would allow the said nurse to work overtime (if the said nurse kindly ask his/her headnurse he/she is willing to do overtime). Because if she can do it weekly, then that would mean digging a gold mine.
do nurses work a lot of overtime
I am currently work in Los Angeles as a nurse. I work 10 hours a day, but I don't see overtime pay for 2 hours. I get paid for straight 10 hours, no overtime pay.
That's how nursing employers circumvent the laws. Employers are allowed to not pay employees time and a half if they hire them to work 12-hour shifts. You have to be hired on as an 8-hour-shift employee.
Thank you for sharing your experience
Did you sign the alternative work week contract on hire?
Can you compare CA to Nevada for all of these same exact categories?
OK. I will.
@@NursesToRiches thank you!
@@NursesToRiches waiting for this, Jason.
Would maxing out 401k and or Roth ira off set the amount of taxes being taken out ?
The 401k would because the IRS recognizes it as a reduction in your earned income for the year. However, you pay the taxes when you withdraw it in retirement. The Roth IRA, on the other hand, is just after tax money (the money you receive in your bank account from your paycheck) that you contribute. And, because it's money you've already paid taxes on, you don't have to pay taxes on the withdrawal of ir/Roth IRA investments when you reach retirement. There are also other tax benefits to the Roth IRA that would allow you to withdraw, in 5 years, the original amount you invested.
Forget commiefornia lol. More people leave Cali for Texas than the other way around. You should see the new home construction in this state and you get more bang for your house here. My daughter graduated from nursing school in Hawaii last year, where we were stationed there for four years. I transferred my GI Bill to her and she only took a 8k loan her last semester, that I paid off for her as her graduation present. She makes in the mid 60s and I just want her to save. I am a disabled vet, so my property taxes are waived. We bring in nearly 20k a month and my monthly expenses is just 5500 a month. My mortgage with just home insurance and county tax is 2200 a month. And I have solar. :)
I thought only $12k of the whole mortgage is waived for disabled vets in texas? In cali its close to 170k or more for low income vets. I find more benefits in cali for vets. Plus all my kids get to go to school for free at any UC and Csu schools and get to pocket the VA educational benefit. Texas, from my research, didn't have any tuition waiver for vets moving into Texas. We thought about moving there however find it to.be too city for us. Texas is way too big, too much traffic, too far out to certain places, and we will be making less there so we decided to stay in our small town in cali. Btw We only paid $1700/month for our new construction home. Other factors played in our decisions why we didn't move to TX.
Dang Texas disappoints me, I really thought it would be great with over time and leave. I want to leave California, and that is why I chose to go into nursing because that career field opens so many doors anywhere. Now I am unsure if I want to leave California for another state to not benefit like I can in California from the RN career.
I will always tell everyone that until other states have ratio laws, better overtime laws, worker protections, and higher pay, California will always be the best state to be a nurse in,

Thank you so much for all of the detailed knowledge and content you share. The time and effort you put into this is greatly appreciated. Keep at it.

Random question. Are mandates for COVID vaccines still in effect for RN’s, or are there waivers now?
@@Jesus-eg3yb they are still in effect in many hospitals in California unless you have an exemption.
@@NursesToRiches
As a real fan of your channel, I ask maybe you can do a short video on the COVID mandate vaccines and exemptions in place for RN’s. Food for thought.
I am a bit confused when all vloggers making videos of RN salaries, are these stats including APRN salaries as well? Or just BSN? And what about 2 yrs diploma with RN? Do BSN RN nd diploma RN get same salaries ?
Depends where you work. Some hospitals offer a differential for having a BSN but it's not too significant that it's going to make much of a difference in your pay. And, if you work for a hospital like Kaiser, you get paid the same whether you have your ADN or BSN. I have plenty of videos going over all of this.
@@NursesToRiches thanks for msg, i have one more doubt, suppose if you have a MSN from europe, can you directly write NP certification or you must study MSN in US again? Are foreign MSN's valid in US?
@@raghuveerkamalakar7836 no way. Being a nurse practitioner in the US is completely different than being a nurse practitioner in another country. You would have to go back to school here to meet all of the requirements. Either way, staff/bedside nurses in California get paid more than advance degree nurses in the entire US.
A few months later, I think this is my second comment on this vid. Non nurse friend mentioned moving to Sacramento and I remembered you had talked about it. Came here and verified. That might be last straw since I'm just about to graduate RN school and looking for job. Maybe you can put in a glowing recommendation for me at your hospital 🥹😅

Texas has a lower cost of living so you get to keep more and Texas is growing faster so real estate opportunity is better and crime rate is lower as well as law and order are better
Hello sir...ryt now im a graduating nursing s2dent here in the philippines...if i become a Regsterd nurse someday.. i want to go there in texas...i just wanna ask sir how much do icu nurse or cardiac make per hour or annualy??coz my uncle used to work as a cardiac nurse in houston texas(forgot the hosptal where he works)coz he dont wanna tell me how much he earn as a cardiac nurse...heheheh...someday i want to be a cardiac nurse also...hope you answer my question..it'll be much appreciated..thank you...😇😇😇
Hi, the median salary for a nurse in Houston is around $80,000/yr. That's anywhere from $35/hr to $45/hr.
@@NursesToRiches thank you so much sir...more power to you...
from cali, went to tx for school....need to go back to civilization
Texas is the best state for veteran benefits, I ain’t going anywhere
So it sounds like California is better
💯!
@@NursesToRiches do the hospitals actually allow all the overtime hours? I’d imagine they tightly regulate it. I’m looking to come to California very soon and want a good hospital
@@jeffreyblaise3198 at the moment Kaiser is cracking down on OT, as other hospitals are probably doing, because so many nurses have fought for and received higher wages than ever before. But, don't worry, you can still easily make over $250k out here. There will always be enough OT to make that much or more per year.
no OT unless you work over 40hrs no matter what. dam. texas sure is a red state lol....and republicans wonder why people call them/consider them heartless/compassionless
People like to clown on progressive policies (and don't get me wrong, I think the homelessness is out of control in California) but it's progressive policies like this that have given us employees all of the benefits we enjoy here in California.
Wish I wasn't single
SMH...are nurses really chasing money on this career? You will burn out quickly if your heart and soul isnt into it no matter how much you are paid.
Out of the hundreds of Nurses that have positive things to say in these videos, there's always one or two that say nurses who want to earn a liveable wage must not care for their patients. Sigh...
thank you my sister
Good information, but after a while it was hard listening to the monotonous voice....
Trying to charge me for free data. Bro get outta here. I bet you're one of them RNs who bought their diploma from the east coast.
Thanks for the comment.
