This is what staff nurses make in Northern California without having to do travel nursing. Even after the cost of living we're living comfortably out here.
can't believe some lazy People are here saying healthcare workers are overpaid. if there are any professions that deserve all the money, it should be health-care practitioners and teachers. you guys think everything is capitalism but want social support for adding to value to society
And don't mention most RN programs aren't easy to complete nor should they be because you have people's lives in your hands. Nurses should be paid well for those reasons.🙂
You really think this is normal in the video ??? 😅 hahaha i mean dont get sad dont get frustrated this is internet, first rule on the internet is doubt everything. I saw video from this channel of a programer with 1 year experiance that said he earns 190k in Seatle. No way in hell he gets that money even in Seatle with 1 year exleriance.
❤️❤️❤️ Yasss!!! I am taking my first travel assignment in December...and for those of you who think we are overpaid...walk a shift in our lives, and see all the shit we have to deal with, and put up with...when the only thing we want to do is take care of our patients, the right way. We have been underpaid and undervalued for so long, it took the pandemic for the world to see, that WE save lives.
You literally said it: “hospitals who refuse to appreciate local talent”. Why are you blaming her for their problem? If you look up the distribution of healthcare money and profit, you’ll know that travel nurses are not the problem.
@@earthstar7534 I am a nurse who accepted an assignment to a hospital that needs help. How does one steal pay? You sound really ignorant. If hospitals did right by nurses when the pandemic happened, they wouldn't be in this mess. If we are risking our lives to save ungrateful people like you, and not being compensated, that's a problem. We begged for just a little compensation...but they chose to hire travel nurses making triple of what they were offering us, yet we were core staff. If they would have taken care of their own...just giving us incentives to freaking risk our lives, hospitals would have core staff. Now, we can either bitch about the travelers being there, making 5 to 10 thousand a week...or we could join them. You would be a fool not to. So, before you come at me with some dumb bullshit...don't come for me unless I call for you. Good day.
@@abingham3747 I know what I am getting into...everyone has reasons for doing whatever they decide to do. I already work in hell...I have no expectations...I may as well be compensated for it. Period.
@@SalaryTransparentStreet AMEN!!! We as core staff tried so hard to be compensated just a little...and constantly turned down...so we were like, if you can't beat'em, join'em...They did this to themselves.
Exactly!!! However, it was the pandemic that ruined it for us. Nurses were flaunting their materialistic lives around on social media. Why couldn’t they have just secured their bags quietly.
I’m a travel nurse recruiter and it’s def worth it!!!❤️ I’m also an STNA but I’ve always thought about pursuing my RN to travel after 2 years because it’s amazing!
Curious where in Cali. I know a few nurses and NPs in Cali as well as recruiters that used to do it strictly for travel nurses. The numbers arent usually the 2nd one.
I’ve worked with many travel nurses and most just do it for the money, they have no sympathy they are just there to work till their contact is over. They lie on their documentation. I’ve seen them just hide in a corner and be on their phone. It’s honestly sad.
@p.t.9171 My wife is an RN, lol. I think she's overpaid. Very few nurses make the kind of money CA nurses make. So I'm talking ourely about CA nurses. Especially ones who reside in the Sac area.They get bay area wages, but home prices are much lower and thus the cost of living.
Can you please give advice on how to become a travel nurse overseas? I'm currently in America, but would like to work overseas once im done with school.
Hence why healthcare in the US is so expensive. Most of what we pay goes towards the salaries of doctors, nurses, etc. Oh yeah, and big pharma. Healthcare, to a strong degree, is a scam. But, good for her! 🙃
Except doctors don’t even start to make decent money until they are above 30 with hundreds of thousands of student loans. Nurses usually get awful pay outside of travel nursing and see some crazy stuff. You couldn’t pay me enough to deal with the hours and the mental issues that come with working in a hospital. Also, fun fact but as the boomers age out we are actually at a staffing shortage so that’ll just keep going up.
Wait I thought we want our healthcare costs to go to the providers (doctors/nurses)? I definitely agree with you there’s a lot of admin/insurance waste tho
@@PrePre_ a quarter of a million dollars isn't what she's worth. Thats the cost of 2.5 nurses and why medical care is unobtainable by most due to high cost.
I don't understand why underpaid nurse and overpaid travel nurses is even being compared. Why not look in the middle? Well, I'm an RN right here too, and i agree that I'm underpaid for my hard work but that has got nothing to do with the fellow nurses of other fields, I'd rather blame the ones in middle.
Absolutely incorrect and misleading! Most nurses work as staff in just one hospital or other facility where they live and unfortunately, excepting California, make very low salaries for the type of job where they are often battled and even assaulted by some patients, their family members, and then never supported and only overworked and.mistreatef and disrespected by management, but they are forced to work alongside travel nurse their facilities hire t much higher pay for shorter contracted period of time. Unfortunately, most people can not become travel nurses because of family issues tying them down, and hospitals refuse to increase pay to just keep their staff nurses so they wouldn't need to hire so many travel nurses due to disrespected staff nurses quitting. The only state that has forced their hospitals to respect and pay even their staff nurses appropriately is California, and now Oregon who just passed lower patient to nurse ratios that will provide better outcomes for all patients and relieve some of the stress on nurses. But most of the money we pay for healthcare goes to pharmcare companies, the middleman in our backward health care system, insurance companies, the upper management of health care facilities, the insurance companies, and pharmcare companies, and their shareholders, not the healthcare workers!!!
it true ...i work as contract for 13 weeks , almost 3 months. for 65 dollars hour base rate ,plus night differential which is plus 3 dolars more then weekends differential plus overtime after 40 hours...we work 12 hours shift....
I made more than 160k last year on my fulltime as a nurse without overtime and working 3 days a week here in LA and thats just average pay😂😂 actually im on the lower side ny coworkmates friends making more than 200k they love working alot😂😂
Man Nurses should be payed 10x as much. They save lives and are one of the most respected on the planet. Especially in the pandemic they risk their lives
So doctors overpaid then? Nurses play a pivotal role in the medical field and it took COVID for people to realize that. They've been underpaid for all of the things they do. I'm glad, at least, some are reaping the benefits.

They work hard, I'm sure but many professions deserve more money, not just health workers.
People who say that, have no idea what they’re talking about!

I’ve been a nurse 6 years make less than a quarter of that in Florida. The pay here sucks 😢
Floridas salary is the WORST
Smh I heard about those low wages in FL
Then what’s stopping you from doing travel nurse? Do it!
Move out of Florida they have some of the lowest wages in the country

So you're a nurse, but stealing pay by working for hospitals who refuse to appreciate local talent. Your description is all nurses ever.

I was a travel nurse and I validate this post !!
Better than I thought.
Nurse, but she is beautiful with that smile
Uncle Sam rubbing those hands and drooling lol
A lot of travel nurse income (can be as much as 50%) is tax free because they get stipends.
These type videos are the reason the rates dropped

California nurses are paid handsomely for the work they perform, as they should be.
ABSOLUTELY NO SHORTAGE of nurses trying to get here to California.
PAY STAFF NURSES MORE!!
I agree. What I truly believe though is you should give me your instagram
Travel nurses just seems like it is not a real life 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe good for young childless people.
People travel with their kids. Works better if you have a partner

Curious where in Cali. I know a few nurses and NPs in Cali as well as recruiters that used to do it strictly for travel nurses. The numbers arent usually the 2nd one.
My hunch is probably NorCal. She seems strategic but then again frugal so SoCal is still a possibility.
She probably worked a lot of OT too
Really because of covid
Omg I love her! I follow her on instagram
What’s her id
I’ve worked with many travel nurses and most just do it for the money, they have no sympathy they are just there to work till their contact is over. They lie on their documentation. I’ve seen them just hide in a corner and be on their phone. It’s honestly sad.
Not all of the nurses do that😐
@@Djdjekeosifjd of course not all, but most…
Asking genuinely, what’s the difference between a travel nurse and a RN?
its the same thing. you have to be a registered nurse in order to be a travelling nurse
@@hotpocket_42oLPN's are also travel nurses
LPN's are also travel nurses
I saw a lot of nurses at my old job and they all looked depressed… 😔
That’s some great advice, thank you!
the problems of american healthcare in a nutshell..
Excellent 👍🏿
In Ukraine 300-500$ per month or 5000$ per year )) In Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan the same.
Good advice ❤
What an amazing career track!
This is old. Getting 1800 if you are lucky now
Too much for a nurse. Eventually we pay for it by insurance premium.
Lol they deserve it more
@@joselitosinon8107No they really dont.
@@TB-vb3ov Ok- take care of yourself when you get ill and are in a hospital. If doctors can make more than that then why can’t nurses.

At least she'll be able to take care of herself through her older years.
Those dimples....

Dang
240k to scroll her insta and take care of 2 floor patients. End times are upon us.
PRESENTING!!: the gender pay gap!!
$150k with 16 weeks vacation time.....
Plain ignorant 🗑️
Hmmmm
Welders, mechanics. Plumbers think they are paid well at 100k and ladies think their is a gender pay gap? 🤔
There sure is....
gender pay gap is all based on different jobs, hours worked, and experience.
@Aron Campos when a women earns more and works less hours is it still considered a gender pay gap..
@marcusbarnes5929 are you saying there are no male nurses?
@chinaarlene7035 not at all...the harder and more technical the job the higher the pay should be...
Hence why healthcare in the US is so expensive. Most of what we pay goes towards the salaries of doctors, nurses, etc. Oh yeah, and big pharma. Healthcare, to a strong degree, is a scam.
But, good for her! 🙃
They made insurance mandatory in CA so the scam can keep going 😢

Im 100% ok with it going to the nurses and doctors rather than big pharma
Wildly overpaid when hospitals just fired a bunch of local nurses. All this does us hurt Healthcare more.
For one, that's the hospitals problem that they created. Secondly, nurses have been underpaid for so long, I'm glad she's getting what she's worth.
