My hospital gives market adjustment raises every year and also merit raises as well. My tips for nurses: 1..Work in a magnet accredited hospital. They usually pay more. 2. Be a good and involved nurse. Be a mentor for new nurses and students 3. Become certified 4. Apply for a promotion if your hospital offers that. 5. Work on projects on your unit 6. Change jobs/ unit. 7.Change departments I went from $72K to $120K in 4 years. I didn't go back to school. I don't work OT. I work at the same hospital. I am not a manager and / or an NP.
Been with the same employer for 23 years. My biggest regret is not changing jobs more frequently. Young people today should change jobs every 3-5 years and then stay longer once they are maxed out in the pay scale.
Fr it flys by I’m starting 4th semester next month and already have recruiters at me for six figure case management jobs. It’s good to figure out the direction you wanna go early.
@@colematthews7535 this is just the 4am motivation I needed 😂 wow good luck I hope you find a facility you really vibe with!! I can’t wait for that at all
Idk what state you stay in but as a new grad Cardiovascular Technologist in Maryland the average starting salary is $90,000 base pay and that’s with an associates degree. Setting the bar high as a tech already, I am becoming a PA next in hopes they would put into consideration that I already set the income bar high and would like an extra $40,000+ per year of a raise base pay.
Hey, love the tips! I currently got a local travel nurse (flex) job that allows me to pick up whenever and pays really well. But like other prn jobs, it doesn’t offer benefits. Was wondering where do you get your health insurance from? I’m also going to NP school because I wanted better pay and maybe leaving bedside one day when I get older and my back can’t afford it. But at the time when I started school, I didn’t know I was gonna get this local travel job. I’m 2 semesters into school now but I’m starting to question whether it is worth it to continue NP school. I’m doing part time DNP so it’s gonna take 5 years and close to 100k for the entire program. Do you think it’s worth it for me to continue?
hey there! luckily, I am under my husband's insurance. as far as continuing NP school, I like to look towards the future. do you see yourself working bedside until you retire or would you rather work a less physically demanding job where you're guaranteed six figures and have a bigger impact on patient's lives? 5 years will pass in your life anyways!
@@safiyamarz Thanks for the advice 🙏 Though my pay as a local travel nurse is comparable, if not more than an NP now, I see the long term gratification of an NP degree which will serve me with more options when I do consider stepping away from the bedside. Do you know if there’s a cap to NP’s salary like there is to veteran RN’s?
You said you are making $100 for per diem nursing. Is that for an hour? Can it (per diem nursing) be included in the career as well when you apply for another position in another facility?
you and I both know the reason for that lol but its definitely not all about money. I love being a nurse but the level of stress we deal with should be compensated well. no one ever talks about MD pay

Love all your videos Safya!! I agree nursing can be hard BUT your loyalty should lie in yourself- not a job! That’s how I’ve made the most too!

Love this video. Nurses have all the education and resources they need to make a decent income. They can invest and make more too.

@@ikevinstar21 you're welcome! and I honestly don't know, but I'll find out soon 😄
Hey so was this a local per diem travel job ? What site did you find it through ?
@@Kassiex5 it’s from a local hospital in my state that I applied directly to
Do prn workers get an orientation?
yes we do! it's dependent on the facility. orientation can last between 5-7 shifts
Can someone work as permanent and prn in one facility/hospital?
no it's either/or
Hi, may I know your state please? 😄
You said you are making $100 for per diem nursing. Is that for an hour? Can it (per diem nursing) be included in the career as well when you apply for another position in another facility?
yes that's an hour. and of course, it's still experience, just less hours
Are you full time np school??
just part time!
@@safiyamarz what specialty?
Some people made me earning money as a registered nurse an issue of race and sex....how trifling is that? Nursing is not about that.
you and I both know the reason for that lol but its definitely not all about money. I love being a nurse but the level of stress we deal with should be compensated well. no one ever talks about MD pay
