Nobody talks about their benefits... thank you.
Of course! Thanks for watching 💕
They don’t.They always complaining about everything🤭
I’m going into nursing and this video was SO informative! Nobody actually goes into detail of their actual pay as a nurse.
I’m glad that it helped! Congrats on coming into the field! 💕
New
Thank you soooo much for going into depth with your actual pay AND benefits!
Of course! I’m glad you enjoyed it 💕
$26 base should be outlawed.. nurses need so much more!!!! my new grad base is $46/hr
I myself want to be a Nicu nurse and I can’t wait! I’m still taking my prerequisite class and it seems like I’m taking forever to complete them 🙄🤦🏽♀️
In school it seems like forever lol but it goes by faster than you think!
Deona Boone Are the classes hard ?
Deanna ! Some of the classes are. Chemistry is hardddd !!!
That is my goal as well working with babies maybe labor and delivery I’m still in pre reqs too😒😢
Same here, I actually wanted to do it before my son but wasn’t too sure if I was doing it for myself or others benefit. After my son was born I turned away from the field, it was hard seeing him in the NICU. It’s been a year since then and now I’m going for it, I love babies and after my son I want to do all I can to help other parents feel better that at least someone who’s been through it understands them, cares for their child’s health as well, and know I will do everything in my power to help.
I'm glad u said "DONT DO IT FOR THE MONEY". Nursing is not easy and if its not your passion you will not be happy (and everyone, including your patients will sense it), and you'll burn out fast
Next fall I’ll be in nursing school and I want to be a Nicu Nurse too😃. I love babies 👶🏾
Congrats! NICU was by far my favorite unit!
thank you for this! i’m only 16 and becoming a NICU nurse is my dream job❤️
Your transparency is everything 🙌🏽 As a nursing student this was very helpful
Thank you so much!! 🤍
I agree!!! So many nurses quit because they get in it for the money and not for the passion. I think it’s so important to speak on it because you don’t want to make the mistake of getting into a career and not enjoying your job. I had some people in my classes doing it because they see it as always having job security. Then you turn around and see people saying I quit nursing because I found my passion doing blah blah blah. So I hear you!
Yes it’s definitely something that happens a lot! Because nursing isn’t for everyone especially if you’re just doing it for money. Thank you so much for sharing and watching 💕
Nurses are Divine.
They are doing a job which requires skill patience and knowledge.
Nursing is not about the money.
It is about service to humanity.
Thanks for being transparent about your pay. I'm about to finally embark on my journey to become a nurse. Keep the videos coming and I wish you nothing but continued success.
Thank you! I wish the same for you 💕
I’m so happy I got recommended this video. I’m in Atlanta and was wanting to know more about what to expect the pay to be so thank you so much! So many of these videos are people in California!
I’m glad I could help! Thanks for watching 💕
Hey, could you upload a video on what a handoff report in NICU sounds like? I’m a nursing student and don’t see a lot of videos on this, it would be very helpful. 😊
That’s a really cool idea! Thanks for watching 💕
I love how transparent and honest she is. I appreciate the ability to be upfront, cause honestly most people, nursing students and new grads alike, just wanna get an idea about these things even though they’re not in it for the money. Gives a good framework for future planning. Thanks girl 😊🙏🏽💕
Thank you soooo much for telling us in detail. I hate when people don’t wanna talk about money. We’re all trying to get our lives together and get careers, we at least would know how much exactly someone in our career is making lol
Of course! I’m glad I could help! 🤍
I want to become a NICU Nurse . I want to become one after experiencing 3 of my 5 kidd having to spend lengthy time there . I would be down there so many hours . Taking in everything nurses did to bring my children home . I would pay attention to everything and hurt as a mother to not be able to bring your child home right away
I can’t even imagine, your experiences will make you a great NICU nurse! Thanks for watching 💕
Thank you for being open about this topic. A lot of nurses or people in general don’t like to share how much they get paid.
Of course! I’m glad that I could share with you all 💕
Tell us how much you get paid
@@alextroy9202 i don’t get paid anything since I’m not working as a nurse at the moment but as an LVN I used to get paid $19/hour in California.
@@alextroy9202 On my second job as an LVN doing home care (wound care) I was making $27/hr
Great video, I’m not a nurse or going into nursing school but I love the information and general knowledge. My future job plan is to work in a clinic. I’m an Athletic training student so we do a lot of emergency and immediate care and Rehab 👍🏽.
That’s cool! Thank you so much for watching 💕
The pay isn’t worth it once you realize exactly how much taxes are taken out, without children. The more you make the more they take I’m @ 80 hr and deserve 175hr. Goodluck tho’ it’s plenty other careers that pay more than nursing and less stress, try anything finance stay away from nursing you’ll thank me later!
New grad RNs in CT make 34-37 starting. That’s base pay. A friend in NY (not in the city) started at 40 an hour and a year in took a job on an ICU step down and gets 46 base pay.
I’m also from CT and in nursing school now. My friend started at $40 as a new nurse with her ADN it’s a dollar more if you have your BSN.
Thank u so much for the information, very informative. Just graduated with my BSN and taking my NCLEX soon. Sending love and appreciation from Compton, CA.
Black girl magic. Yes maam
💕✨
wow this video was a guide and i’ve been wanting to be a nurse because i love helping people like and i also want to move up and become a nurse practitioner! you’re absolutely right my grandma was a nurse for 30 years and when she first became a nurse she didn’t get paid a lot she started at 70k and she ended with 101k a year .. she told me the more experienced you are the better.
GOALS 😭 NP’s make great money!
I'm a nursing student in the Southwestern Georgia area, and the numbers are pretty similar here for new grads .
Thanks for watching 💕
It’s around 5 to 6 thousand a month if you work every day for 8 hours plus weekends on a 26$ an hour pay rate. Or minus the weekends probably 4,800 to 5,200 not adding in holidays.
I graduate with my BSN in the Spring and hope to work in a NICU! Thanks for your transparency!
Hi could you make a video on how you become a nicu nurse?
Yes! Thanks for watching 🤍
First video I watched! New subscriber! I love that you're so humble and genuine, I'm tired of all these nurses going in solely for the money and making it seem luxurious or like cushioney career.
Thank you! I always try to be real because it is not a luxury or cushioney career at all but it is a great career choice. Thanks so much you watching 🤍
Im in nursing school right now and I want to be a NICU nurse.
Have you thought about being a NICU nurse practitioner? I know you just started working but just a thought
Yes it’s definitely something I’ve thought about. I’m not exactly sure what I want to do but it’s definitely an option. Good luck in school 💕 and thanks for watching!
26 is not enough for base pay!
I agree!
Thanks for sharing, I do feel this is important
No problem!
She is right In California NiCu nurses make a lot more but the cost of living is is higher. I make 52.44 night shift new grad.
San Francisco or Los Angeles?
Love your transparency! Thank for this video. Can you share what helped you pass the NCLEX-RN?
Yes I’m thinking about doing a video on that!
I take mine in December graduating with my BSN/RN any study helps for the boards will be appreciated! 😊
I just took mine last week & passed in 75 questions. Uworld is awesome! That's the main resource I used. 👍
OMG ☺️ great video, I love your channel. I’m currently in school now praying I get in the sonography program. I hoping my channel grow too. I been think about vlogging.
That’s cool! You definitely should
@@TatiannaJ Thank you!
I’m assuming in the South the pay for RNs is lower! I’m an nurse aide and l make 24 dollars a hour ( day shift) The nurses in New Jersey make 46 bucks per hour. I know you explained this but Wow l pray you have great aides working under your supervision. You rock Sis!
Yes nurses in the south get paid lower because the cost of living is lower compared to places like California or New York.
Thank you, while it is important to know what to expect or kind of depending on where you live. The other important points on going into the nursing field for the true passion is key. Also no worries love I think you’ll have many viewers no matter the topic. Really appreciate your informative videos, and looking forward to many more😉
I agree! Thank you and thanks for watching 💕
Hey new grad NICU Nurse here! I wanted to chime in and add for your followers ! I’m starting in a residency program in Tacoma ,WA offered $32.10 base pay + $4.25 shift differential. Our weekend diff is also $4.25. Everything is unionized here and I just moved from Florida. Comparatively the pay is REALLY decent for nurses here. My husband is military so housing and allowance is paid for. Nursing for me was a love but the money also fueled my passion because now I’m making triple of what I was making as a CNA and I get to do what I love! NICU is a competitive unit for new grads so I feel blessed
That’s good money! Washington seems like its kind of expensive to live so that’s a blessing that housing and everything is taken care of. And being in a union state is awesome!! It’s cool that you transitions from a CNA that’s an amazing way to start. NICU is very competitive but I love it! Thanks for sharing 💕
Tatianna Denize thank you!! Cost of living is kinda comparative except gas ! That’s expensive! Awesome video!
When are you starting the residency? I was considering that program :)
Ashley Kapaun I started back in March , I’m almost finished with residency! I’ll be on my own in a month
@@alexiaw9419That's exciting! Was it competitive to get in? Did you have a capstone in the NICU?
Thank you for saying the benefits paying a percentage of tuition . I had a tear in my eye and feel more confident to join the medical field. Thank you 😊
Hi great video!! I am an aspiring nurse I particularly would like to go into Labor and delivery. When you clock in, is the differential automatically applied in the system or does the supervisor have to do anything special in order for you to get your extra money?
We clock in a special way and we also have this book that you write down things you would get extra pay for outside of your regular hours like working on call or attending education classes, orienting and things like that
This really great. Thanks so much. No one really ever wants to talk about money and benefits. Very much appreciated to get an understanding.
Dang you have so many benefits. Super awesome!
Love the transparency! You seem super sweet and smart for investing in your retirement. I'm an LVN and I'm in an RN program. I plan on working in the NICU or PICU and I've been wanting to find more information about working in those departments. Thank you for the detailed info.
$26.40 an hour😯Man nurses really don’t make as much as one would think
Thank you so much for this video. I was planning to move to Atlanta after I graduate from nursing school here in LA. I couldn't find any accurate information about how much RNs are making in Atlanta. Your video is super helpful! Thank you again!
I know this video is older, but if you see this comment can you say how much you make now? Thanks for all the info I’ve never seen anyone talk about their benefits
What’s your degree? Associate in RN or BSN?
I wish it was the case for all nurses. Some hospitals are non-profit so my facility doesn’t give holiday or weekend pay 🥺
Wow this video was very informative thank you so much ❤️
LVN making $42.50
Girrrl, your transparency is great. Thanks for that
Thank you love the video I’m getting ready to take my state boards for my RN
I’m a freshman in college & I haven’t started my nursing program (obviously😂) but I’m sooo ready to start taking classes! I’ve always wanted to be a NICU Nurse! I currently go to school in Alabama, but after my undergrad I plan to move to Florida & go to Grad school.
Don’t get me started on NY 🤦🏿♀️
I’ll be an L&D new grad nurse resident in Maryland this August. I applied to one in Virginia, and they were also offering $26.00 an hour. I think southern states have a lower cost of living. The hospital I’ll be at, just 45 minutes north pays $28 an hour, but the cost of living is increased. Especially because I’m in a slightly wealthier area of Maryland.
Oh wow that’s interesting. I thought Maryland would start out a lot higher than is but I’m glad you got higher base pay at your hospital!
juliet what part of Maryland do u live in?
I'm just lovin' Hot Cheetos I don’t live there yet but I’m moving to annapolis!
@@juliet5413 I'm in MD & new grad as well. How was your L&D residency? I haven't decided which specialty to go into & I saw one video about postpartum nursing & the incredible stress. I'm like🤔🤔
@@juliet5413 Which hospital has the best residency program & decent pay?
I don’t want to be a nurse but I do plan to work in the wellness industry. Do you have any connects in med spas? 💕✨
I don’t have any connects but I have heard that people do generally love working at Med spas!
Tatianna Denize it’s okay. I’ll keep looking. Thank you for your input. 💕✨
what is the one main difference between level 3 and level 4 nicu ..in your view. Besides surgery or iller babies
How often do you have admission assignment?
Also...do doctors have assistance to put in E.T. Tube or do Rns assist with that...and do you guys cut tape for the et tubes or u have pre cut tape?...
Thank you so much for breaking it down the way you did... you’re the most thorough video I’ve seen!
Thank you so much for making this video, Tatiana. That’s one thing about being a nurse you can pretty much ask for whatever amount you’d like to make. Thanks for sharing the benefits of your job as as NICU Nurse. I wish you all the best in your job as a nurse and who knows how far this will take you. I hope you go as far as YOU & God take you and I’m
sure there’s never a dull moment in your position. Lots of love, blessings, stack your cash, love (you may one day want to come to California or become a traveling nurse), Save for your dream home and car, Tati. God Bless you and take care. Very informative & motivating video. You look very happy as well💞💞
My brother works as an NICU nurse at Yale and gets $34 hourly.. girl, I questioned if I was in the wrong field lol
How’s quality of life in Georgia, I live in New York City and the hospital has offered me 51.50 while I’m on orentation days and then 55.50 when I transfer to nights for the rest of my residency. Which is nice but cost of
Living here is astronomical. Should I just stay save and the move ?
I love Georgia! Your money can go a lot further here in purchasing a home but you do make less. Ultimately it’s your decision if you’re ready to move or not but I would definitely have money saved up before making the big move! Atlanta is relatively “cheap” for a city but it’s still not cheap if you know what i mean but there are a lot of surrounding cities that are really nice that are a lot more affordable and offer more space. I hope that helps and thanks so much for for watching 🤍
what hospital in nyc if you don’t mind?
@@salmahsjourney3801 memorial Sloan Kettering cancer
@@jenifercalixmarin7930 Thank you. Any tips on getting hired there as a new grad ?
New York? To Georgia?.... You about to get A tan in 5 mins flat and OHHHH the HEAT!
I'm from the South, I absolutely LOVE Georgia (I go just to Lay in the sun sometimes)😂
But... if you are used to Northern weather, Georgia is A Lot...it's not just Heat, It's Dry, Humid , so 98 feels like 129, fr.
Wait what state are you in? You dont want to know how much we making in Cali
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you so much for sharing! Keep posting 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much! I definitely will 💕
If you don’t mind me asking .. what hospital do you work at? I’m moving to Atlanta after I pass my nclex. If you don’t feel safe or comfortable answering that’s fine I understand just thought I would ask
I'd like to see this from different states. This is good money in some areas but not others. A friend working nightshift ICU started at $44/hr but average rent is 2k in her area so cost of living (CA). Meanwhile, hospitals are paying travel nurses bonkers money per hour instead of hiring local nurses.
I make this as an Lpn 🙃
What state is that
I started at a unionized hospital as a new BSN grad. I got a spot in the ER which is a very busy ER. They started us out at $19.50/hour with a $2/hour shift diff and only $2 more per hour on holidays. It is supposed to be the highest paying hospital in the region. I feel ripped off.
What area are you in? That is the lowest I have ever heard of a Rn receiving and of course in a speciality. That's ridiculous. They are paying like we received in the 90's .
@@gina9171 East TN. I am wanting to do travel nursing now. We full-time staff nurses are a dying breed.
New subbie & I’m in Atlanta! Thanks for posting this. I started nursing school yesterday. I graduate 2022 but love watching nursing videos, especially ones about pay/residency. How long is your residency program? And how long is your contract? I’ve seen videos where people said they left residency because the hospital wanted them to commit to 2 years of service.
Congratulations Baby
Hi Tatianna! Want to check if you can help me apply as NICU nurse?
Thank you for sharing ! What school did you go to for your BSN and where do you work now ? I’m also in georgia and I’m researching different options
I went to Ga State and now work at Emory!
thank you !
@@TatiannaJ Emory pays well! I’ve been applying their. I’m looking to relocate Jersey is too expensive.
Great video I'm a LVN and going to make it to the RN level 👍
Great video! I live in Atlanta also and I am doing my prereqs now.. what school did you go to? Also what schools do you recommend for nursing programs?
I went to Ga State! I also applied to Kennesaw which is a great school. Emory has a great nursing program as well they’re just very expensive. I haven’t researched it but I think chamberlain has one as well! Thanks for watching 💕
Tatianna Denize I go to Kennesaw state and I’m a first semester student. Thank you so much for this video!
Great video, it was very informative.
Thank you!
Thanks for walking through exactly what it would look like for every pay differential. It was really well explained and made it easy to follow along for someone who is not in the nursing
field.
Girl how where you able to afford that Tesla or was it your parents ??
Would benefits change if you change department? For example if you are a NICU nurse for a certain amount of years and decide to switch to the ER or ICU still in the same hospital would you have to go through the same process again or would everything stay the same and the only thing changing would be your department and salary? sorry if it’s a dumb question!!
Wow, they help you with your whole life! Welcome to the good life! 😀 lol, amen.
What state you work in makes a huge difference! I live in Cali and the numbers are way different
It does! Cali is super expensive. Half of my family lives there and I love it but the cost of living is so high. You do get paid more so I think it pretty much evens out
True sis medical field is not for everyone
I work as a pharmacy tech
Not even nursing
And goooosh I stress out a lot and it’s about having a lot of patience and I’m not even making those numbers like you.
That’s why I think about continuing with medical field or pursuing nursing. It’s hard it’s not easy it’s def a job that you really need to love.
sis you're the bomb!Well articulated and informative, I felt like you were selling nicu and you sold me,lol,got me thinking about going in.lol. december 20 accel bsn graduate
Hi @desmikawhite. Congrats, how so would you recommend an accel Bsn? I’m nervous.
@@vane4346 You need a support system by your side.Friends and family.Maybe someone to cook for you,babysit kids if have any,, etc because you won’t be able to work.Loans are your bestfriends.
It’s doable,I had a 3.2 gpa but I killed my interview and had a great volunteer hx along with working as a Hha.
The sky is limit.Wishing you the best of lucks.🎀
Im not going in for money but i didnt think they mad that much &’ im in nyc
Love your videos I start school in 4 weeks at WCUI I’m excited I live in Los Angeles California... my journey was not easy but I’m glad I’m here ❤️
Damn you guys think that's allot
Nurses deserve way more but it’s better than the average job when you’re first starting out
i love your channel !! but Hii , i was wondering since I go to a college in Louisiana will I able to transfer to Texas ? because I really want to move to Texas right after I graduate college..
i’m so. so. so. so. so. TERRIFIED for my future right now, i’m only a freshmen but there’s nothing i’m good at and all i’ve wanted to be was a nicu nurse. what classes in highschool help lead up to a successful nursing career?
You’ll be fine!! Science classes will help give you a good foundation but you’ll take everything you need once you get to college. Focus on your grades and gpa so that you can get into a school of yours choice and from there it’ll be mapped out for what classes you’ll need in college for nursing! Enjoy high school and don’t stress about your future! Work hard and have fun and you’ll be fine! 🤍
I love this video so much ! Do you have an IG by any chance so I can Direct message you there for more questions and info ??🥺❣️❣️☺️
So as a new grad you went into a residency into a speciality? Did you have any previous experience in any other job like CNA or etc
Watching your video, what makes you say or why did you say bout time you hit retirement it wouldn’t be any social security left🤔
Thank you for the transparency 💖
And subscribed ❤️
What state do you live in? Those numbers sound low.
Georgia. It's pretty consistent for new nurses across the state
What about NNP’s neonatal nurse practitioners
I’m so proud of you!!! I could never do peds period! I’m a new WHNP as of May and just received my authorization to practice last week! So I’m on the hunt!
I’m in my last semester on nursing school and I have an interview with a NICU in my area tomorrow morning. I’m so excited but nervous!! Any tips on how I can impress the clinical director?
Congrats! Just be yourself! And maybe look up an article or something that was done in that NICU and talk about how that resonates with you!
I’m in the healthcare field but maybe I’m doing the wrong thing and need to expand my horizons lol. I would want to work in the NICU cause personally I don’t want to have kids but I love them. Especially babies.
lol and I’m only a new nurse the possibilities in nursing are endless. There are some out here making very very good money but the NICU has my heart. I love it! Thanks for watching 🤍
I want to be a nicu doctor but I never find any videos about the doctors
Just found your channel!! I can tell I’m going to love it!!! Subscribing now 💗💗
Can you please please please PLEASE tell me how many days you work a week?🥺🥺🥺‼️
I’m Getting ready to go school well continue my education for NICU nurse. I do have a job do think it’s going to be hard to do both work and go school ?
how long did school take you to become a neonatal nurse practitioner?
