Yes, the nurses in Bay Area make six figures easily, no BSN. Just hard to find a place that will hire ADN nurses but it is possible if you have connections!
bbyskittles91 My mom filed $170k last year. She started with an LPN and got a RN-BSN. We are in Oklahoma. She works in an office, though and basically dispatches ambulances to different hospitals.
I love this! Even my mom thinks that I'm going to be making the big bucks, she actually said this when I told her I passed my NCLEX. I'll be starting out with 30/hr as my base pay for a new grad in MD, and yes that's a lot more then what I made as a technician but I'm not balling. Also I have a 6 YO this just gives me enough to take care of him comfortably, farrrrr from rich lol!!
Tash&Kai girl I got a BS and all the jobs in the industry I go to want to pay me $12 yea I’m going to nursing school cuz I got a baby to take care of and a ton of student debt
How do you do it as a mom with nursing. I currently make almost 60k a year and have a BA in Business Management. I’ll be 30 this year and thinking of switching careers. I feel like already having a BA might save time but I’m thinking about all time you nurse spend at work. I’m nervous thinking about starting over 😩
@@kaim1810 hi this is super late but did everything work out for you? its been two so i hope you were able to successfully switch your major. but aslo, nurses don’t spend that much time at work. they can work monday-friday 7am to 4:30pm and off the weekends so its great for families as well :)
@@fatoulo2226 Just an update, I ended up not going back to school for nursing. I tried to go for my masters and ended up taking a break from school to figure out what I really wanted. I ended up switching to a new job 6 months later still making roughly the same with yearly pay raises. I work for the federal government if that helps. This year things started to really pay off for me. I accepted another job with a promotion and includes a guaranteed promotion the next year. Not to mention its in an area where opportunities flow for government employees. I really enjoy being able to be off on weekends with my daughter. We've had our own little groove going since I became a salaried employee. I think I didn't really want our lives to change too much. And if I really wanted to I could apply for jobs in another three years that would put me at making over 100k a year, which I probably won't just to develop myself a little. I've been chasing the career for so long and this past year has really showed me what I really want in life. I just turned 32 today and life has been great. It took going through some obstacles and changing, but I can definitely say I'm happy. Sorry so long, but ladies, go out there and get what you want! If its being a nurse, doctor, whatever. There's no limit.
I don't get what people mean when they say "you'll never be rich as a nurse" I have friends working @ my old job in retail, single moms with no help from anyone, they hustle on their own, they only make around $25k a year and they still make it and don't complain. My aunt has her bsn here in tx and she makes almost $80k a year, she DOES drive a luxury car, DOES live in a nice neighborhood, gets to travel/shop a lot, etc. granted, she doesn't have kids and she's married and her husband makes a decent amount of money too but she still makes substantially more than him. So I don't get what people mean, maybe you won't have a lambo like she said or live in a mansion but you're still making more money than the middle class population...especially nps who's salaries are in the $100,000s. Like what more do you need sounds good to me! Be happy w/ what you have...

Massachusetts is my home state alongside the cost of living is high as well. Traveling Nursing is great pay as well. Per-Diem usually pays more being no benefits. Great information. Thankyou.
I'm in California as a psych nurse and make about 1,300 a week after taxes for the first 3 months. After my probation period, my pay will increase to over 1,500 a week after taxes. I have been a nurse for about 8 months.
Hi! I work as a RN in the CCU in the Netherlands, we pay a lot of taxes here. I guess I should move to the US and work there, haha. ;) I get paid like $33.000 a year excl taxes. We pay like 35-40% taxes off our salary each month. Which means I get paid $16 an hour when I work a dayshift. Really liked the video! Thanks!
Lol you would mention Alabama 😂😂🤦🏾♂️, but our Cost of living compared to California is waaayy cheaper you can get a 5 bed 4 bath house for the same thing they’re paying for a 3 bed 2 bath house 🤣🤣🤣
Nurses are one of the richest people. They are rich in knowledge. They are rich in incredible human experiences. And they're actually AMAZING people (fun fact)
40-50k/yr. only if a new graduate with no certs/ or experience. Now you get an RN with 5 years of experience with her BSN, ACLS/PALS, and CCRN, 60-80k/yr. easily
There is no shame in wanting a decent salary as a nurse, especially if you have loans to pay back. Helping people is huge a bonus that comes with the job but the salary is important too. I would hate to imagine how drastically the quality of care would drop if nurses were getting paid similar to a full time Walmart employee while being overworked and under appreciated.
Night shift differential is also a great way to get some extra money! I get 1.25 an hour extra as well as a nice bonus every few months! Also. Super jealous that you get paid more for critical care. My hospital pays all nurses the same 😢 thanks for the info!
Wow I live in Delaware. Shift differential at my hospital is 15% of what your base pay is for evenings & 20% for night shift .... I’m not a nurse, I’m a PCT II in the ICU . But shoot I know the nurses making bankkkk lol
My mom’s friend is a travel nurse and she makes SO much money. In 4 years she paid off her student debt which was 122k, she’s traveled all over the world, she’s absolutely in love with it and she’s my inspiration to going that route as well since I’m single and don’t plan on dating/having children anytime soon. Gotta get through nursing school first though.
Paola C make sure you’re prepared for all the studying and stress. That’s applies to many majors but remember, you need to have a passion for helping others.

When people ask me why I chose nursing, I tell them that I want to help people. The pay doesn't even cross my mind but it's good to know that the salary will allow me to live comfortably.
I think it's a situation that makes perfect sense; if a nurse is worrying about keeping you alive, you don't want them worrying about keeping food on the table at the same time. But of course... you also have to be smart with your money.
Personally I still think that puts you up the ladder in income ! A lot of jobs don’t pay over $25 an hour. Especially if you have a combined income with a spouse ! You can live very comfortable on that salary
NickM dang. If you’re taking about what we call here s cna (certified nursing assistant) that basically wipes butts.. I made 11$/hr at the most. I only worked 2 years as that. Got bumped to 14$/hr at most as a medical assistant.
MHSMagicLuver $21 here is the lowest per hour for most jobs, I work for a private aged care home. The public hospital in my town pays the cleaners $30 an hour and they do far less than us. And yes maccas employees get paid a lot especially if you become a manager. Everything is also ridiculously priced here and it's hard to live on $21 an hour. There's also no opportunities for assistant nurses so you have to get a degree in nursing to go anywhere and earn real money.
NickM yeah I can understand making more because it costs more. My annual income naming 14$ was about 26k. I’m going to school to be a physician assistant now and the average pay is up to 100k now.
Especially going from $27k or less a year. I love patient care, but being a CNA is not financially worth the physical work so I am going for my RN and probably BSN.
Most nurses ARE in it for the money. Ive worked with many nurses in the course of 10 years, and only a few are in it for the love of helping people. Many I have come across are more in love with their title than the work it entitles.
If i could change Nurses salary i would pay them minimum 100,000 but we all know how the Satanic global elites (NEW WORLD ORDER) love to use nurses and every job title one can think of in exchange of dirty cheap salaries.All bout MONEY. but as somebody mentioned earlier, not every nurse works because they love it but because of the money or reputation
I have a family member who is a Physician Assistant, Register Nurse, Licenced Vocational Nurse, Certified Nurse Assistant. the more you go up the latter more paperwork more drugs but less physical contact with patients. from all 4, I noticed the CNA always complaining about nurses, the one on top always complaining not enough sleep. the RN always complaining how much stress, the LVN who wants to do more but limited with school training.im guessing to be humble and test if you are for the money or title or for helping, all shold be required to get their CNA first then be allowed to apply for med school or nursing degrees. but same time, must have their paycheck raised since they all deal with peoples lives and its not same as studing for an associate in computers (no offence to those who are)
best of luck in your school and career. I have natural patience and concern for people but i dont if i could have the patience to deal with diva attitudes and trying to see patients just as numbers or if i saw that the hospital is most concern is saving money from patients care, when knowing they are getting paid for what they are providing....again, a family member who studied for billing and coding lol
I just got my first job in CA and I'm living at home to save dat coiiiin. I went to school in NV and moved back to my hometown in the Bay Area and I kid you not my jaw hit the floor when I got my offer letter, but for real trying to live out here is wild everything is so so expensive.
Yeah its super hard to get a job out here as a new grad. I somehow got really lucky and got in at the right time being a winter graduate. But once you have a year or two of experience you can work here no problem, everywhere is always hiring and a lot even offer sign-on bonuses up to 15k. My new grad starting salary is 62 hourly plus night shift and weekend differential
Good for you! My mom was an ED nurse at Kaiser in the Bay Area and was making $175k-$200k per year. Granted she did work lots of overtime, but still made a nice wage working without the OT.
If you are becoming a nurse just for the money then you should not be a nurse. We DO NOT make any type of money to be defined as rich. We make a salary that is comfortable for middle class living. If you want to be rich then pick a different occupation. If you want to use your brain daily and make a difference in peoples life then become a nurse.
Been a nurse for 2 months & already planning for a second job🥴 Taxes are robbing us out of $12,000 a year easily nor to mention the money we get deducted with benefits. New nurses where I live make after taxes what 9-5 workers make before taxes basically. I definitely chose nursing because of my passion to help people, but I wish we got a little more without the hassle.
I started off as an LPN in Florida and I’m now almost finished with my RN but I moved to Texas because you make decent salary and cost of living is not crazy either.. I always keep a full time job where I work OT and a PRN job as well with an agency and agencies pay ALOT more..great video!
I'm an RN w/ about 2.5 years experience. How much could I expect to make in TX? I heard with a few years experience you can start in the mid $30/hr range.
P R how is the cost of living there in comparison to what an RN makes? I live in the Bay Area and while we make decent money the cost of living is so freaking high. I worry tho about Texas not having ratios or unions. What’s the going range for RNs in DFW now a days?

New to Your channel and have literally watched half of all your videos . About to go to nursing school and let me tell you, your videos help a whole lot . You are very detailed and relatable
Well aren’t I hella lucky to live in California, though I live in central California it’s not bad of cost of living. It’s just in the middle of the fields lol
Daisy Calderon Central CA isn't bad 😊 I was a nurse in the central valley for a few years before coming to the Bay Area and my hospital there was way more sophisticated, I had a lot of good experience. Plus, cost of living is better there. Maybe commute per diem here for extra money 🙄
Ok..im not a nurse..but if you make 30 per hour..working 3 days a week if you work overtime you will easily make 100-130k per year..not bad...ive made over 100k one year back when i was only making 30 per hour..if i had the or aptitude to be a nurse i would avg 150k a year easily..it takes a special person to be nurse and i honor all those who care for the sick..
I live in San Diego and work in San Francisco my rate with night diff is approx 87 and per diem rate is over 100/hr ... so cost of living is high so I don’t live in the Bay Area I rent a room for 500/month and fly back to SD because I own a house there... great informative video... keep up the great work...
The best city for RNs is Houston, Texas. I read an article where they compared cost of living vs salary for RNs and it was quite interesting. Makes sense since we have the biggest med center in the world. Awesome channel btw! Discovered it last night during some downtime at triage!
everyone talks about pay and the cost of living in CA. rent/buying a home is not that much expensive than any other state unless your in sanfran/Sac/san jose or socal!! i am from orange county where i know nurses who make $65 an hour and yes homes and rent are up in price but i went to school in Utah where they start at $20 an hour and my 2 bedroom apartment there was 1200....my mom lives 3 hours north of los angeles where nurses make $50 an hour and a 5 bedroom home rents for 1600 or a 5 bedroom home for sale can start in the 300's.... i would do research if you are planning on moving to CA to become a nurse because you can live GOOD...also, if you are a travel nurse CA offers 13week contracts for up to $108.00/hr...think about it... work for 3 months out of the year and take 9 months off!! LMAO!
ashleyb003 If you travel, San Jose is a good place! ☺️ Sooo many people have per diem jobs here and fly home to other states. They buy homes with cash!
No they aren't rich but most of the time they are working 3 days per week (depending on your unit, staffing, and facility). A typical 9-5 obviously has shorter days, 12 vs. 8 hour shifts, but more shifts so 5 times per week. Nurses have the ability to string together days off combined with weekends. I know nurses who work 3 12's in a row, leave work on a Wednesday, and then don't come back until that next Monday! Obviously the demand of 12 hour shifts is very tough plus what nurses have to do on a daily basis is extremely taxing. I also know nurses who work 3 shifts a week and on off days work per diem at another facility plus at 40-50 dollars an hour in NY that's a nice salary. Difficult but nice nonetheless. Salary differences across different states eventually evens out when you factor in cost of living. Overall cool video, I can't wait for my nursing journey to start. I am entering my last semester of nursing school this spring for an associates program and have already been accepted to a bachelors program for my BSN.
Love your channel so much!! Becoming a nurse is one of the jobs I might want to do when I graduate high school and referring to your channel is so helpful so thank you so much ✨
Another thing, my college is connected to a hospital. (Like there's a tunnel in the basement that takes us to the hospital) and that hospital pays time and a half for over time and holidays where as the hospital 20 minutes from here more in the down town area pays DOUBLE time for over time and DOUBLE time AND A HALF for holidays. So do your research before excepting a job people!
I live in Georgia and here you get paid 50 to 180k depending on what type I want to be a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and I get paid 99k to 112k $600 a day 2k a week and 8k a month
You’re not gonna be driving a Lamborghini, but you’ll be driving a BMW and a Tesla and have your own house, pay for all your kids things and still be able to save for retirement. 😂
Nurses are not a riches people lawyers are one of the riches people. Why? Nurse make $55-80 per hour lawyer makes $300-600 per hour thats a minimum pay rate. My daughter is a lawyer
Hi. Congrats for your videos. My Daughter is studying to become a RN at FIU, Florida; she is freshman. Any suggestion what she could do during summer time? Thank you and keep posting.
Im currently going back to college for a second degree in NURSING. I should’ve done it the first time round. Currently taking A&P1. I am loving the material and challenge of having to think critically. :)
I’ll say this I live in Alabama,Millbrook and for about a 3 bedroom it’s about 800 or 900 to rent a house and up but I think Montgomery is a lot cheaper in some areas that’s just in my opinion I’m about to start nursing school but I would still move from Alabama to be a nurse it’s not enough pay 😒
I commented 3 years ago. When I was about to start nursing school. I went from being a Neuro Cardiac PCU nurse and now a Correctional Nurse... I make $11 more an hour in corrections. People refuse to pay nurses their worth is what I’ve been seeing. Atleast here in Florida.
I’m glad you mentioned cost of living to salaries. Some of these cheerleader nurses from California think and boast as if they’re rolling in it but fail to mention how much their rent/mortgage (if they can even qualify for a mortgage), taxes etc. Maybe they assume living out there is the same as living in other states thus they brag about their salary. All salaries are relative people to your standard of living for a common field job. You really think Doctors in Topeka and Sioux City are making the same as Los Angeles and New York City doctors? Again- salary to environmental cost standards are always in play.
Where I work in California, starting base pay for new grad RN is $62/ hr across the board regardless of which area or dept you work in and that excludes shift differential ie $7+/hr for evening shift and $10+ for nocs
Nursing is a noble profession and can be physically and emotionally taxing most times. Need to be prepared for that most importantly vs the money! haha
Omg I’m excited to start my journey on becoming a nurse!! I’m currently a senior in high school and i want to become a nicu np! Thanks for all the videos! xx
as someone who recently switched from an education major to a nursing major $125,100 is a hell of a lot better than $35,00 😧 and i definitely didn’t even think about the money ( this is the average pay for washington where i want to live)
It's good pay in America as you have said because $72,000 to pounds is like £50,000 but in the UK, according to prospects, nurses get paid in the £22,000 area which is $31,196. So it's a massive difference. Nurses get paid one of the lowest salaries in the UK sadly, for all their hard work.
Love your videos they are very helpful to those that are thinking about going into the medical field and giving tips to those who are already in the major.... you are an amazing role model
Been a nurse in a large metropolitan area in Texas for about a year now. I am BSN, RN. I make $26/hr base, $5/hr night diff, and $6/hr weekend diff. I make on average $3600/month
Do you work 3 days a week with 4 days off? I swear once Im a nurse I think Im still going to keep my serving job on the side. Serving I can make anywhere between 20-45$/hour and 20 is on my slowest days it rarely happens
I will be attending college in the fall and I plan to study nursing. I am super nervous but your videos are very informative and I love watching them! Keep doing you, girl! 💗
The place where I work started me off at $23, only increased my pay $0.50 more for a bachelors degree. And only increased my pay after two years to $24.10. I asked my manager if we would get increased pay every year, and she told me we wouldn't, that what I had was a fixed rate. Working holidays is only 10% bonus. And our yearly bonus was only 50$. I work in the ER. So yeah, looking for another job. Do your research!!
One of the reasons I want to be a nurse might be dumb but, whenever I was in the hospital I always found comfort in those few sweet nurses who I could tell genuinely cared for me. One of my nurses I had sat with me all night talking to me and trying to help me fall asleep because I was scared ❤️ she was new to the hospital and it was her first day in the state, she told me how she was scared too and I’ll never forget❤️
RNs make great money and benefits and can get a job anywhere. Try being a paramedic and making half, if not a quarter of the pay RNs get, then cry about not being able to afford a Lamborghini. Geez.
Unfortunately in my area new grads with associate and BSN get paid the same in any department. No special rate for critical care units or more specialized units. The 3 big hospitals have a 25 CENTS difference between them. How do I know? I talked to HR and friends that already have job offers on ICU, ED, and med surg units. The huge difference comes with benefits and differential pay rates because some hospitals use a percentage or a set dollar amount. Overtime pay changes from unit to unit. At my hospital, all other units you must hit 40 hours to start getting the overtime pay but at my department if there is a need and the charge nurse asks you to stay longer then you get paid time and a half. The system drives me crazy sometimes. Thanks for another great video 😊
Nurse Liz it’s very unfortunate. Recently they started a career ladder at my hospital. Basically if you have certifications, BSN, and worked as a charge nurse and preceptor for two years then you get a ONE time 3% hourly raise. If your hourly rate is already small, it doesn’t make any sense to go through all that trouble. Nurses don’t want to do it because if you worked as a charge nurse you get paid an extra $2/ hour plus all the stress, and no extra pay with being a preceptor. Nurses really doesn’t want to do it.
My mom makes over $100,000 a year and she doesn't have a bachelor's degree. Experience goes a long way.
What state does she work in?
what sucks about that is how much Uncle Sam takes from it, it kinda turns those 100K to 70k :(

Dominique Latriece thank you love♥️
@@TheNurseNook not even a year later and your on 184k
Little more than 2 years later your on 252k 👏🏼👏🏼
Night shift differential is also a great way to get some extra money! I get 1.25 an hour extra as well as a nice bonus every few months! Also. Super jealous that you get paid more for critical care. My hospital pays all nurses the same 😢 thanks for the info!
Omg yes I forgot to mention this!
Wow I live in Delaware. Shift differential at my hospital is 15% of what your base pay is for evenings & 20% for night shift .... I’m not a nurse, I’m a PCT II in the ICU . But shoot I know the nurses making bankkkk lol
Bryana Joubert lived in Newark for years! Delaware love ❤️
Nurse Liz ❤️🤗🤗 omg how cool ... usually when I mention Delaware on here , people are like where is that ? 😂😂
Bryana Joubert truth time, until I moved there, I also really didn’t know it existed haha
My mom’s friend is a travel nurse and she makes SO much money. In 4 years she paid off her student debt which was 122k, she’s traveled all over the world, she’s absolutely in love with it and she’s my inspiration to going that route as well since I’m single and don’t plan on dating/having children anytime soon. Gotta get through nursing school first though.
Paola C make sure you’re prepared for all the studying and stress. That’s applies to many majors but remember, you need to have a passion for helping others.
Omg me too my cousin did it bought her house from it I love traveling n I don't have nothing holding me down it's just the perfect fit
122K in student debt?? holy moly what school did she go to? SF??
My daughter got through school with a BN without debt, With grants

When people ask me why I chose nursing, I tell them that I want to help people. The pay doesn't even cross my mind but it's good to know that the salary will allow me to live comfortably.
I think it's a situation that makes perfect sense; if a nurse is worrying about keeping you alive, you don't want them worrying about keeping food on the table at the same time. But of course... you also have to be smart with your money.
Same
Personally I still think that puts you up the ladder in income ! A lot of jobs don’t pay over $25 an hour. Especially if you have a combined income with a spouse ! You can live very comfortable on that salary
A R Exactly I'm an assistant nurse here in Australia and get $21 an hour my, friends working at McDonalds get more.
NickM over here McDonalds workers get like 8 in the states
NickM dang. If you’re taking about what we call here s cna (certified nursing assistant) that basically wipes butts.. I made 11$/hr at the most. I only worked 2 years as that. Got bumped to 14$/hr at most as a medical assistant.
MHSMagicLuver $21 here is the lowest per hour for most jobs, I work for a private aged care home. The public hospital in my town pays the cleaners $30 an hour and they do far less than us. And yes maccas employees get paid a lot especially if you become a manager. Everything is also ridiculously priced here and it's hard to live on $21 an hour. There's also no opportunities for assistant nurses so you have to get a degree in nursing to go anywhere and earn real money.
NickM yeah I can understand making more because it costs more. My annual income naming 14$ was about 26k. I’m going to school to be a physician assistant now and the average pay is up to 100k now.
Nurses who are financially responsible, don't live beyond their means and know how to budget has really good money. PERIOD.
Especially going from $27k or less a year. I love patient care, but being a CNA is not financially worth the physical work so I am going for my RN and probably BSN.
I know many nurses and they are in it for the money. But money is all the motivation you need sometimes
Travel Nursing is where the money is!!
AMEN!!
Govt contracts too
Could you do that with a kid ?
Nursedude411 not really travel nurses make less then regular nurses
@@elise8211 exactlyy... the only good thing about travel nursing is traveling. But I started making $21 per hour as a travel nurse
Most nurses ARE in it for the money. Ive worked with many nurses in the course of 10 years, and only a few are in it for the love of helping people. Many I have come across are more in love with their title than the work it entitles.
If i could change Nurses salary i would pay them minimum 100,000 but we all know how the Satanic global elites (NEW WORLD ORDER) love to use nurses and every job title one can think of in exchange of dirty cheap salaries.All bout MONEY. but as somebody mentioned earlier, not every nurse works because they love it but because of the money or reputation
Beautyqueen clinic nurses tend to be nasty nurses
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... ya, CNA's actually help more patients physically. Nurses do more paperwork.
I have a family member who is a Physician Assistant, Register Nurse, Licenced Vocational Nurse, Certified Nurse Assistant. the more you go up the latter more paperwork more drugs but less physical contact with patients. from all 4, I noticed the CNA always complaining about nurses, the one on top always complaining not enough sleep. the RN always complaining how much stress, the LVN who wants to do more but limited with school training.im guessing to be humble and test if you are for the money or title or for helping, all shold be required to get their CNA first then be allowed to apply for med school or nursing degrees. but same time, must have their paycheck raised since they all deal with peoples lives and its not same as studing for an associate in computers (no offence to those who are)
best of luck in your school and career. I have natural patience and concern for people but i dont if i could have the patience to deal with diva attitudes and trying to see patients just as numbers or if i saw that the hospital is most concern is saving money from patients care, when knowing they are getting paid for what they are providing....again, a family member who studied for billing and coding lol
I just got my first job in CA and I'm living at home to save dat coiiiin. I went to school in NV and moved back to my hometown in the Bay Area and I kid you not my jaw hit the floor when I got my offer letter, but for real trying to live out here is wild everything is so so expensive.
gramz how much do you make?? I am planning on living in the bay once I finish my bsn in August. And is it super difficult to find a job in the bay??
Yeah its super hard to get a job out here as a new grad. I somehow got really lucky and got in at the right time being a winter graduate. But once you have a year or two of experience you can work here no problem, everywhere is always hiring and a lot even offer sign-on bonuses up to 15k. My new grad starting salary is 62 hourly plus night shift and weekend differential
Oh wow!! Thank you for replying! I appreciate the insight. I hope I find some of that luck too.
$62 HOURLY WAAAAT
Good for you! My mom was an ED nurse at Kaiser in the Bay Area and was making $175k-$200k per year. Granted she did work lots of overtime, but still made a nice wage working without the OT.
If you are becoming a nurse just for the money then you should not be a nurse. We DO NOT make any type of money to be defined as rich. We make a salary that is comfortable for middle class living. If you want to be rich then pick a different occupation. If you want to use your brain daily and make a difference in peoples life then become a nurse.
ER Nurse & Gamer you are very correct! A lot of nurses are just doing it for the money and trust me I’ve come across May of them!!’
All of them do it for the money they dont care .. They do it to live there lifestyle. And they flaunt their title badges modeling and posing lol
All of them do it for the money because if they weren't then they could just be cnas then
ER Nurse & Gamer you’re living outside of your means if you don’t think you’re making good money as a Nurse
Nursing seems like way too stressful of a job to do only for the money.
Heading into nursing school next summer. Your videos have been extremely helpful with information and experience! Thank you so much for sharing.
Gabby Tabby how's nursing school?
Experience is huge, mom makes 150k in Texas as a director, only an associates that she got back in the 70’s
I like how you keep it real with us and you're not like these other youtubers keep doing you boo i love you! i been following you since day one!
Vanessa Gallegos ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Been a nurse for 2 months & already planning for a second job🥴
Taxes are robbing us out of $12,000 a year easily nor to mention the money we get deducted with benefits. New nurses where I live make after taxes what 9-5 workers make before taxes basically. I definitely chose nursing because of my passion to help people, but I wish we got a little more without the hassle.
Even if you get paid high, the cost of living is still high. So it’s still technically the same.
B Symone Very much agreed, I live in California and the cost of living is sky high.
South Florida, California, NY and NJ...high rate=hight cost N of living. South Florida starts nurses $17-$21 per hour....
I started off as an LPN in Florida and I’m now almost finished with my RN but I moved to Texas because you make decent salary and cost of living is not crazy either.. I always keep a full time job where I work OT and a PRN job as well with an agency and agencies pay ALOT more..great video!
what area in texas?
Beautiful Simplicity DFW
Jadianna Hugle Yes I transferred my license but here they go by LVN (no difference)
I'm an RN w/ about 2.5 years experience. How much could I expect to make in TX? I heard with a few years experience you can start in the mid $30/hr range.
P R how is the cost of living there in comparison to what an RN makes? I live in the Bay Area and while we make decent money the cost of living is so freaking high. I worry tho about Texas not having ratios or unions. What’s the going range for RNs in DFW now a days?
Girl people always say go to school to be an RN than they always say they make a lot of money. 🙄
The best part about this video was everytime i thought of a question the next thing you said answered it 😂 good job!
Amberlyn RIGHT !!! 😂😂😂

oni tankson no
Floor nurses (not new grads) in Hawaii I hear make six figures, but you have to have a Bsn and you usually start as a nurse aide even with a Bsn.
They also have the highest cost of living in the country so that evens it out pretty much
WOW REALLY LOL I NEED TO MOVE THERE OR BE A TRAVEL NURSE IN HAWAII
Hawaii new grad nurses make $32 +/hr
Lol I lived in Hawaii for 12 years and it is crazy expensive. A gallon of milk is maybe $8
New to Your channel and have literally watched half of all your videos . About to go to nursing school and let me tell you, your videos help a whole lot . You are very detailed and relatable
Well aren’t I hella lucky to live in California, though I live in central California it’s not bad of cost of living. It’s just in the middle of the fields lol
Daisy Calderon Central CA isn't bad 😊 I was a nurse in the central valley for a few years before coming to the Bay Area and my hospital there was way more sophisticated, I had a lot of good experience. Plus, cost of living is better there. Maybe commute per diem here for extra money 🙄
Ok..im not a nurse..but if you make 30 per hour..working 3 days a week if you work overtime you will easily make 100-130k per year..not bad...ive made over 100k one year back when i was only making 30 per hour..if i had the or aptitude to be a nurse i would avg 150k a year easily..it takes a special person to be nurse and i honor all those who care for the sick..
Most nurses just starting out in San Jose ca. (Bay Area) start at an average of $50-$60 an hour.
I live in San Diego and work in San Francisco my rate with night diff is approx 87 and per diem rate is over 100/hr ... so cost of living is high so I don’t live in the Bay Area I rent a room for 500/month and fly back to SD because I own a house there... great informative video... keep up the great work...
The best city for RNs is Houston, Texas. I read an article where they compared cost of living vs salary for RNs and it was quite interesting. Makes sense since we have the biggest med center in the world. Awesome channel btw! Discovered it last night during some downtime at triage!
yay!!!
It really depends on where you live. I am a traveler making about $46 an hour, but if I were staff it would be $29 an hour.
everyone talks about pay and the cost of living in CA. rent/buying a home is not that much expensive than any other state unless your in sanfran/Sac/san jose or socal!! i am from orange county where i know nurses who make $65 an hour and yes homes and rent are up in price but i went to school in Utah where they start at $20 an hour and my 2 bedroom apartment there was 1200....my mom lives 3 hours north of los angeles where nurses make $50 an hour and a 5 bedroom home rents for 1600 or a 5 bedroom home for sale can start in the 300's.... i would do research if you are planning on moving to CA to become a nurse because you can live GOOD...also, if you are a travel nurse CA offers 13week contracts for up to $108.00/hr...think about it... work for 3 months out of the year and take 9 months off!! LMAO!
ashleyb003 If you travel, San Jose is a good place! ☺️ Sooo many people have per diem jobs here and fly home to other states. They buy homes with cash!
@@lisag412 what specific field do those nurses work in? i thinking about nursing but am not sure what route to pick tbh
No they aren't rich but most of the time they are working 3 days per week (depending on your unit, staffing, and facility). A typical 9-5 obviously has shorter days, 12 vs. 8 hour shifts, but more shifts so 5 times per week. Nurses have the ability to string together days off combined with weekends. I know nurses who work 3 12's in a row, leave work on a Wednesday, and then don't come back until that next Monday! Obviously the demand of 12 hour shifts is very tough plus what nurses have to do on a daily basis is extremely taxing. I also know nurses who work 3 shifts a week and on off days work per diem at another facility plus at 40-50 dollars an hour in NY that's a nice salary. Difficult but nice nonetheless. Salary differences across different states eventually evens out when you factor in cost of living. Overall cool video, I can't wait for my nursing journey to start. I am entering my last semester of nursing school this spring for an associates program and have already been accepted to a bachelors program for my BSN.
Love your channel so much!! Becoming a nurse is one of the jobs I might want to do when I graduate high school and referring to your channel is so helpful so thank you so much ✨
Another thing, my college is connected to a hospital. (Like there's a tunnel in the basement that takes us to the hospital) and that hospital pays time and a half for over time and holidays where as the hospital 20 minutes from here more in the down town area pays DOUBLE time for over time and DOUBLE time AND A HALF for holidays. So do your research before excepting a job people!
Amberlyn what state are you in?
Was Just About To Go To Bed Until I Seen Your Notification 😂❤️
girl.. the regular base pay hourly in MISSISSIPPi is like 21-24 dollars.. booo thats why I'm moving
yes ms is the worst, but depending on where you're from--don't rule out memphis if you don't want to be far
New grad ny -medium size city (2 hours from nyc) area beginning Pay probably average 34. I make $4 more for overnight.
I live in Georgia and here you get paid 50 to 180k depending on what type I want to be a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and I get paid 99k to 112k $600 a day 2k a week and 8k a month
Hello, couls you please explain a little more on what you went to school for?
You’re not gonna be driving a Lamborghini, but you’ll be driving a BMW and a Tesla and have your own house, pay for all your kids things and still be able to save for retirement. 😂
Nurses are not a riches people lawyers are one of the riches people. Why? Nurse make $55-80 per hour lawyer makes $300-600 per hour thats a minimum pay rate. My daughter is a lawyer
Hi. Congrats for your videos. My Daughter is studying to become a RN at FIU, Florida; she is freshman. Any suggestion what she could do during summer time?
Thank you and keep posting.
Im currently going back to college for a second degree in NURSING. I should’ve done it the first time round. Currently taking A&P1. I am loving the material and challenge of having to think critically. :)
I’m a sophomore in high school and I recently got into a nursing program for my junior and senior year of high school. Your video was so helpful!💖
This is such great info!! Thanks for breaking it down :)
Alabama base for New Grad $22 to $23. Haven't seen more than that. :(
Kenya Smith what’s the cost of living like out there?! Those numbers hurt me! You are worth more than that
I’ll say this I live in Alabama,Millbrook and for about a 3 bedroom it’s about 800 or 900 to rent a house and up but I think Montgomery is a lot cheaper in some areas that’s just in my opinion I’m about to start nursing school but I would still move from Alabama to be a nurse it’s not enough pay 😒
Here in Los Ángeles starting 45/60 also depends who you know
Latisha Brown my mother lives in that area. I am in Birmingham and I'd have to agree.
Nurse Liz not awful. Food taxes are crazy.
make a video about which colleges offer rn classes that let you finish in just months (:
Victorino Cisnero Accelerated BSN programs? Good one!
Technical colleges
I commented 3 years ago. When I was about to start nursing school. I went from being a Neuro Cardiac PCU nurse and now a Correctional Nurse... I make $11 more an hour in corrections. People refuse to pay nurses their worth is what I’ve been seeing. Atleast here in Florida.
Not rich but comfortable living.
I’m glad you mentioned cost of living to salaries. Some of these cheerleader nurses from California think and boast as if they’re rolling in it but fail to mention how much their rent/mortgage (if they can even qualify for a mortgage), taxes etc. Maybe they assume living out there is the same as living in other states thus they brag about their salary. All salaries are relative people to your standard of living for a common field job. You really think Doctors in Topeka and Sioux City are making the same as Los Angeles and New York City doctors? Again- salary to environmental cost standards are always in play.
For whoever that is not doing it for the money, stay a CNA then you will get all ur interactions with the patients at this level
Where I work in California, starting base pay for new grad RN is $62/ hr across the board regardless of which area or dept you work in and that excludes shift differential ie $7+/hr for evening shift and $10+ for nocs
junmimie is this true or fake?
Big Snake It's very true! That's what I make.
I believe it
Junmimie And what is the cost of living like?? Do you get to save anything ??
Nurses in Cali make bank but living in Cali is soooo dam expensive!!!
"Do not trust previous nurse assessment" 💯💯💯
Love your channel since my major is Nursing so many helpful tips. Thank you
Nursing is a noble profession and can be physically and emotionally taxing most times. Need to be prepared for that most importantly vs the money! haha
Omg I’m excited to start my journey on becoming a nurse!! I’m currently a senior in high school and i want to become a nicu np! Thanks for all the videos! xx
Anyone who can buy on brand stuff is rich to me😂😂
Yes over here in Los Angeles it’s $56/hr for having an msn
I live in California. I'm in SO MUCH HOPE that I dont have trouble getting a job 🤞 p.s. very informal video. I love watching your growth into nursing.
So I needed motivation to go study for finals ... I think I just got it.
Thanks for this video.
I’ll be graduating in November and I live in Los Angeles
But rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is $1800 - $2500 in a nice area
Nikki Noodles girl come to the IE. Still pricey but waaay more affordable than LA
Vivi D I’ll have to look into it but I’m open to moving to the IE area. This rent is killing me!!
Whoa, that's way too much for rent! SoCal nurses are underpaid compared to us up in the Bay. 😕
as someone who recently switched from an education major to a nursing major $125,100 is a hell of a lot better than $35,00 😧 and i definitely didn’t even think about the money ( this is the average pay for washington where i want to live)
Notification squad, literally stopped what I was doing to come watch you💕
Ciara Harris.. Girl,that makes both of us
Merieella Manwaring she’s literally my favorite and makes me so much more excited to get into the field of nursing.
Ciara Harris.. She is indeed. I'm excited too.
You are the realestttt!
No but nurse influencers are richer! Lol
It's good pay in America as you have said because $72,000 to pounds is like £50,000 but in the UK, according to prospects, nurses get paid in the £22,000 area which is $31,196. So it's a massive difference. Nurses get paid one of the lowest salaries in the UK sadly, for all their hard work.
In Raleigh, NC as a brand new RN (not BSN) you start making $20-$25. Extra $4 for night shift. Extra $10 for weekend shift.
I hope this helps!!! 😀
100k is dope but it’s equivalent to 50-60k in Cali 😓
A nurse this gorgeous would keep me sick! Lol.
This video is so helpful as a young teen.
Love your videos they are very helpful to those that are thinking about going into the medical field and giving tips to those who are already in the major.... you are an amazing role model
Been a nurse in a large metropolitan area in Texas for about a year now. I am BSN, RN. I make $26/hr base, $5/hr night diff, and $6/hr weekend diff. I make on average $3600/month
Do you work 3 days a week with 4 days off? I swear once Im a nurse I think Im still going to keep my serving job on the side. Serving I can make anywhere between 20-45$/hour and 20 is on my slowest days it rarely happens
I will be attending college in the fall and I plan to study nursing. I am super nervous but your videos are very informative and I love watching them! Keep doing you, girl! 💗
The place where I work started me off at $23, only increased my pay $0.50 more for a bachelors degree. And only increased my pay after two years to $24.10. I asked my manager if we would get increased pay every year, and she told me we wouldn't, that what I had was a fixed rate. Working holidays is only 10% bonus. And our yearly bonus was only 50$. I work in the ER. So yeah, looking for another job. Do your research!!
Gabriella Hurtado hi, where is your location?
O wow, leave that place. I am just a C.N. A. I make $25.00 an hour. I love my job .
Terry-Ann Craig Where do you work as a cna??
LilFontana I don’t think she is a C.N.A. I think she is a Nurse. I am a C.N.A.
Fitness Babe that comment was you actually lol. Where do you work as a cna making that much? So am I.
Imagine the highest paid at kaiser permanente in california. 🤭
I’m from NYC and I’m making 47$ an hour
Amy Medina HOW LONG HAVE U BEEN A NURSE OMG WHAAAAT
WAAAA KIND OF NURSE R U R U A NEW GRAD OMG SCALP MEEE
One of the reasons I want to be a nurse might be dumb but, whenever I was in the hospital I always found comfort in those few sweet nurses who I could tell genuinely cared for me. One of my nurses I had sat with me all night talking to me and trying to help me fall asleep because I was scared ❤️ she was new to the hospital and it was her first day in the state, she told me how she was scared too and I’ll never forget❤️
I would like to be a neonatal nurse practitioner as well but I do not know what I should major in, in college.
Samantha Ferrante general nursing
RNs make great money and benefits and can get a job anywhere. Try being a paramedic and making half, if not a quarter of the pay RNs get, then cry about not being able to afford a Lamborghini. Geez.
How much is take home pay? In Germany, about 45% of yearly income goes to taxes.....
Unfortunately in my area new grads with associate and BSN get paid the same in any department. No special rate for critical care units or more specialized units. The 3 big hospitals have a 25 CENTS difference between them. How do I know? I talked to HR and friends that already have job offers on ICU, ED, and med surg units. The huge difference comes with benefits and differential pay rates because some hospitals use a percentage or a set dollar amount. Overtime pay changes from unit to unit. At my hospital, all other units you must hit 40 hours to start getting the overtime pay but at my department if there is a need and the charge nurse asks you to stay longer then you get paid time and a half. The system drives me crazy sometimes. Thanks for another great video 😊
Paula Paiva same with my hospital! Definitely doesn’t incentivize you to go back and get specialty certifications
Nurse Liz it’s very unfortunate. Recently they started a career ladder at my hospital. Basically if you have certifications, BSN, and worked as a charge nurse and preceptor for two years then you get a ONE time 3% hourly raise. If your hourly rate is already small, it doesn’t make any sense to go through all that trouble. Nurses don’t want to do it because if you worked as a charge nurse you get paid an extra $2/ hour plus all the stress, and no extra pay with being a preceptor. Nurses really doesn’t want to do it.
