- Hi guys! I break down how much money I’ve made as a new grad nurse, nicu nurse, nurse case manager, primary care nurse, and PRN med surg nurse! These pay rates are based in Atlanta.
Disclaimer: the incentives are all hospital based depending on the staffing need. Luckily, my hospital offers great rates to the point where I can make a six-figure income 🤑

Shoutout to all the nurses who move through different specialties and settings! Idc what any says, I’m moving on when I want to
EX👏🏽ACT👏🏽LY👏🏽. The whole “staying at a company for x amount of years” is outdated. Leave whenever you feel like it!
You are like me, graduated in 2015 and worked NICU, Med Surg, PACU, Acute Dialysis, IMU, Autotransfusionist Nurse…..I just keep hopping around, its fun learning new things.
It really is, that’s the beauty about nursing. You can literally do whatever
As a nurse you should move around and learn all you can
Hey , what do you do about the retirement plan ?
This will really help a new nurse. The transparency is key! Great editing!!!
Thank you 🥹 I wish I had this info when I first started!
I've just decided to apply to nursing school Post -Bacc and I'm so glad this popped up! Thank you for this!
Omg I feel you with switching around. Just found out I have ADHD and my resume definitely reflects that I get bored with the same setting. Trying to travel now.
travel should be perfect if you like to switch things up!
Thank you. This is a great video bc you didn't just go over pay but you elaborated on so many other factors; time, burnout, pay cuts, retirement, taxes, etc! Good luck in NP school!
I’m an Accountant and I have been a generalist for 16 years. Not what I intended but just how it worked out. I used to think of it as a negative but it has kept me working through recessions and pandemics because I can fit in where needed and I’m willing.
This is great! Thanks for sharing , I’m sure new nurses out there will really appreciate this information!
Thanks Nanelis, I hope so!!
You go girl! Saw this on my feed! The algorithm is pushing you through 🤩
yayyy trying girl!! 🤩
Thank you for these videos!!! I’m in an ABSN program now & I ultimately will finish with my DNP! 😊
good luck with your journey!!
burnt out after 2 years? omg. thank you for your transparency!
unfortunately. bedside takes a toll on you, mentally and physically. thank you for watching!
This is actually really helpful becuz you’ve done so much jobs so it’s a good overview!
Thanks Cynthia! ☺️
We work in the same healthcare system and we are always short for sure.
PRN is a great option.
The benefits are what’s keeping me staff. At some point I will detach myself from it.
Thank you for the transparency.
Yes, those benefits are a necessity for some. Luckily, I found a loophole cause I love being PRN. Thanks for watching! 🤍
@@safiyamarz please share the loophole sis! Because I'm trying to figure out how to get this money and still have benefits.
@@safiyamarzwhat loophole did you find ?
Anyone found a way around this ?
Love this. I went through something similar in these last 6 years of my nursing career.Looking forward to more videos.
Is cost of living really good in Georgia? Cost of living to me is high in California. A 2 bedroom apartment can be up to $3,500.00 in most places you actually want to live in. Start paying for RN can start as a new grad as low as $50- $77. Im LVN here and make around $43 and it’s no where near being enough to live on my own and have a car payment comfortably.
Same here! I really don't have specialties because I was assigned to different areas. Thank you for sharing your experiences and great ideas. I know now what I am going to do once I work in the US.
Yesss I’m in nursing school and work PRN as a tech…I make wayyyy more and only work incentive shifts 😊
I’m never going back to staff 😅
What do you mean by you only work incentive shifts?
@@candy1172 shifts that the hospital offers employees more $ per hour (in most cases) due to low staff census.
I’m from NY and planning on moving to Georgia by end of yr but looking in Loganville. Seems like I will be doing alot of driving. I will look into the prn nurse while doing travel nurse because pay rate for nurses real sucks especially when houses are getting expensive there.
I agree. The housing market in GA has shot up while the pay remains stagnant. I think that’ll be a good choice
I respect the HELL outta you! Immediately subscribed 🎉🙏🏻😍
That’s the beauty about nursing as a career.
Thank you so much for this information. What hospital did you work for as a PRN?
Girl, this is GENIUS! I'm about to start nursing school in the fall and I've been so stressed trying to figure out which speciality I will want to be in because they make it seems as if once you pick one, you're stuck in it for life or something! So this was very insightful and helpful. But when you do graduate, can you start as a PRN nurse right away or is it probably better to get some experience first... and then once I do get some experience, how would I become a PRN nurse? Would I have to apply for a different job that says PRN nurse through a different hospital?.... Im sorry for all the questions I have just never heard of a PRN nurse.
thank you! typically you would have to work full time as a new grad resident nurse, but I have heard of new grads that work part time or PRN. Working PRN is just based on your availability to work as needed vs working a required 36 hours every week as a full time employee
can someone inform us how much do registered nurses get paid hourly in the Nashville area in Tennessee please?
I work in Assisted Living at $31.50 an hour LVN
Hi great video, thank you for sharing 💕 I am a new grad nurse and I’m not sure what specialty I would like to go in. Would you recommend starting a PRN position as a new grad?
Hi Niome! I wouldn’t recommend PRN for new grads. I think the best route for new grads is working a consistent schedule of 36 hours/week in a residency program. That’s how you’ll learn the best when transitioning from student to RN
Great vid! Very motivational.. Can you make a video next please based on your grades that got you into nursing school..
Thank you for watching!! I believe I had a 3.68 GPA when I applied for nursing school. The minimum GPA needed was a 2.8. I can make a video on the whole process 🙂
@@safiyamarz Yes please! Can you do it on overall gpa and pre req gpa.. thank you! Earned a new subscriber!
@@williammendoza5171 of course, thank YOU 😃
Who does your taxes or how do you get around the high interest tax rate?
Thanks so much for sharing! My daughter just started a position in med surg and she is exhausted and stressed! How’d you adjust to the night shift in the beginning?
Hey Sharon, i actually never had a full time night shift position. I got lucky with my first position working day shift as a new grad. Night shift is definitely an adjustment, it might take a solid 6 months-1 year to finally get into a routine
Can you tell me more about the insurance nurse job in another video? Please. It be a story time video. I will watch it. New subbie here.
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
Safiya ! Thank you 💟💟💟
This was extremely helpful and motivational! Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome, thanks for watching! ☺️
I watch videos like this to help motivate myself thru school
New here !!! Great information!!! Almost there 6 months left!!!
Thank you!! It’ll be over before you know it 😄
Thank you for being transparent. This helps a lot.
Thank you, glad it helped!
I hope this is still here after I finish nursing school and gain some experience 😭 you go girl 👏❤️
What is prn
Hey so In changing all these jobs , how were you able to keep your retirement plan going ? My job will take away whatever they match if I change hospitals before I think 5-10 years and that’s tough b/c like you in trying to try different jobs that better fit .
I transfer everything to a rollover IRA
@@safiyamarz never heard of that process. I’ll look it up but if you can elaborate on wym I’d appreciate it
Kudos to all the nurses out there for me it's not all about the money. I quit as an RN last two years ago after almost 11 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness Lol 😁but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!!
I don't really know like my job but I love what it provides for me and my family. This pandemic has people rethinking working
If you do not mind me asking ma'am what do you do now and how did you plan yourself before quitting
@@gracedaniels6172 right now I run my own business and while was still in service I planned towards early retirement, making about 2k weekly from my retirement investment portfolio trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income
@@sandramish2229 wow impressive! You're making quite a fortune speaking of investing I have heard about this but I don't really know how to start and make a good investment. Share more info please
@@gracedaniels6172 there's a lot of investing options real estate, cr ypto, ETFS, stocks but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one that's exactly what I did
@Safiya Marz... did you actually get vaccinated?
Hey great video… yeah I’m working two jobs PRN in the ER and at Tesla making some money
Could you please make a video about your experience with the sign on bonus?
Sure! 🙂
I'm starting nursing school next month, and looking to relocate to Atl when I'm finished. I currently work PRN in my currently healthcare setting. I've always worked PRN. It's way better in my opinion.
Can you give any insight on any of the hospitals there?
reach out on IG :)
Talking about your income should NOT be taboo! People need to get over that taboo. By talking about your pay keeps the higher ups on their toes!
Hey!! Did you have to have any special certifications to do the case manager insurance job?
Not at all! Just needed 3 years inpatient experience
6 figures don’t even mean much anymore these days if it’s starts with a 1 smh sad days
$24/hr to start with? 😭 I’m losing hope because I make that as a CNA new hire non-agency, not even PCT. I’m realizing that a lot of nurses make what I already make on avg, so what the heck is the point in school right now. Nursing is so nerve wrecking but this really opened my eyes. And the comments are extremely helpful.
It also heavily depends on where you live
NICU nurse here, and my base pay is $27 🫠 I made more as an LPN than an RN
Keep in mind, this was six years ago in Atlanta so the starting pay may have changed with inflation. In nursing, there are so many career opportunities and growth. Think of the long term benefits!
You are a intelligent woman. Thank you for sharing.
How can someone find out if the hospital they want to work for has these incentives?
omg i love her 💕
Thank you for sharing very explicit
I totally see myself having a new job every year to year 1/2 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
How can u assist someone to come and work over there?
Thanks for the great advice! God bless! 💕
You’re welcome! 🤍
Thanks for sharing 😊
Getting paid 24 or 25 as a rn is sad
Great video thanks for sharing ❤
Wats PRN?
Great video
Thanks Courtney!
I found myself here by chance. I'm an insurance agent in Ghana who wish to relocate. Will appreciate a one on one chat with you on PRN/ nursing, taxes, incentives, etc and all there's to know.
Great video! Thank you! New sub! I am a Canadian Trauma icu nurse wanting to relocate. I was wondering what agencies offer prn nursing ?? Also do as any sponsor nurses for green card ? Thank you again
Hey Johanna, thanks for subbing! You can find any hospital in the US that offer PRN positions. I’m not quite sure about the sponsorship though, sorry
This was a great video. Are new grad nurses able to do PRN?
Thank you for watching! I think it’ll be dependent on the hospital. Typically, hospitals want new grads to complete a residency program by working full time hours and taking educational classes at the same time
I'm new to this channel, good info
whats the full meaning of PrN ?
PRN is Latin Pro re nata meaning “ as circumstances arise” or as needed.
What state do you live in?
How long do you think these bonuses will go on for?
It’s hard to say. If hospitals stop the incentives, they’ll have no nurses. No one wants to go back to pre-pandemic pay. I think it’ll be around for a while or else they’ll be even more short staffed
Very motivational video for me as a new grad
Yay, congrats and good luck!
@@safiyamarz Thank you !
Great content 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing!
thanks for watching!!
I know it is out of topic but you are very beautiful!
God bless you spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially in the name of Jesus amen.
Glory be to God in the name of Jesus amen. Hi my name is James and it is always a blessing to fellowship with the body of christ. Recently the lord has led me to start a TH-cam channel as well. If you like, see and hear what the lord has put on my heart to share by tuning into my channel. God bless you in the name of Jesus and have a wonderful day amen.
what is PRN? and what do I need to do to qualify after BScN 4 year degree?
PRN is only working as needed, depending on the units need. Once you have your license, you can apply for PRN if you want to!
Thats crazy im a CNA and im making 25 an hour prn in UT
so how did you get lucky enough to find a hospital who does such great incentives. on indeed and all, they never tell you their incentive rates.
No, indeed and other websites don’t disclose incentives. It’s all hospital based. When I applied for this job, I wasn’t looking for incentive pay, I just got lucky like you said 😅
So helpful! Thank you
You’re welcome!
thats amazing
You said you're working 2 shifts a week @ $45/hr then picking up an extra incentive shift; is that per week? Or per pay period? I guess my question is how many hours per week do you work as a PRN nurse and why wouldn't you ONLY pick up shifts if they're incentivized? Why would you work 2 shifts at $45.00/hr. if you don't have to with PRN?
Is this the base pay?
Yes without any shift differential
what does prn stand for
only working as needed!
Go girl
Congratulations May God continue to bless you thank you for the care you provide God bless 💜🙏🏽
Thank you so much!

new subby 😊
Can you do prn as a new grad nurse?
You can but def not recommended. In order to make the most working PRN you should be fluent in more than one dept.
Typically you’re in a residency program as a new grad, which would require full time hours but every hospital is different. Inquiry on your interviews but I wouldn’t suggest being PRN as a new nurse
So you're bringing in a little over $200k a year, as a PRN? Nice
Real Estate Guys
You remind me so much of Hilary Banks from fresh prince.
I got that a lot growing up lol
$125 an hour, why even go to NP school lol?
I’m trying to leave bedside as soon as possible lol
Whst certification do you have? Np?
Just my RN for now
you talk intensevely but you forget which country you are working,,,sorry,,,
Completely unrelated but why she kinda... T///T
I wonder if your nail technician make more than nurse 😂
My sister is a flex/ travel nurse , she is bringing in $250 an hour. Myself a school nurse only 65 an hour😂🤣
Where do you work at ? That you make $65 an hour as a school nurse ?
Even for a school nurse that’s more than some hospital nurses 😮
What state is this 65/hr rate? Southern Cali? Northern?
Jack of all trades, master of none. Today's nurses don't stay in any position long enough to truly develop their skills in any area.
I don’t need to stay at a job for years to master my skills. And I’m not staying at a job where I’m not happy
How old are you, 40s or 50s
I’m actually 80
Why would you even ask this?
Lol why would u even ask that? Age is literally just a number for this woman, she looks really good and youthful for a number
@@safiyamarz hahaha I like the sarcasm my fellow nursing sister . You don’t look 40 or 50
You looks like you are in your 20’s.
You’re beautiful Safiya.
Thank you for being transparent and sharing this information. ❤️
thanks for watching! 🤍
Very helpful, thank you!
