All my nursing staff and healers out there, please remember to take care of yourself. You count first. U can only gift what u have. Salt bath, meditation or proper workout, healthy organic meals, hydration, sleep and sunbathing (yes my dark skinned girls the sun is amazing for u) 🙌🏾✌🏾
Get your experience...im 8yrs BSN get 2 yr ICU experience and go travel then come back you will make more. In the last 7yrs ive made nothing less than 120k per yr
Transparent life of Dee Dee damn u must have a very stable life My dad makes around 35k my mom makes 45k And I’m grateful for what I have but rarely is my family able to buy us anything we live paycheck to paycheck because I have 3 other siblings and we usually never get things on Christmas or 20$ on b day I’m still grateful because i could be living in a clay house with little to no food
I’m a sonographer ( ultrasound tech ) in Connecticut and make more than that with less stress. Nursing is not the only medical job that makes money. Not to mention I go home on time everydayyyy!
Mellissa Henry-walsh I believe it but everyone choose a different path in life for a reason. I wanted to switch from LPN to physical therapy cause I was stressed out but then I realized that’s not my calling.
I want to do sonography, but ugh 2 years not working. The programs here in nyc is 9 to 6pm everyday for 2 years, i have a kid i cant .. do that but i sooo want to do that
I love being an RN and no I might not get to go home on ti mb e every night. I'm not there for the paycheck as good as the money is. Being able to help heal people and make a difference is what matters to me. I tell people if u r hear for the paycheck this field is not for you. U gotta have a lot of heart and compassion. I'm an ICU nurse.
Not about the money. It’s all about what makes u happy. The money follows your happiness. What’s good for u isn’t the same for someone else. If you are happy, no need to compare yourself with someone else’s paycheck or happiness. Beautiful video chica. I was a LPN-RN as well. Hard work 🙌🏾 Now, I’m following my dream with no paycheck at all 🤣🤣🤣. I’m happy and money catching up to me. U look extremely happy. Shed more love in this world lovely!!!!
I’m in school currently finishing my pre req for the RN program and this was very encouraging salary wise as well as the comments. I am so excited to be a NICU nurse 😩🙌🏾❤️
i love your personality. Thanks for sharing your story. It's a good thing you met the lady on the bus that gave you the information you needed at the right time. Congrats
I have been an LPN for 12 years & will soon be an RN. I think you can finesse pay if you know how to sell yourself. Thank you for sharing AND Knowing your worth!
Happy for all you girls advancing your education. I was an LPN x2 years RN x9 years and now I am just about to graduate from NP school. The beauty of nursing is that there is a lot of upward mobility that you can't get with other professions (e.g dental hygienist) so you can go as far as you want. Congrats girls...keep striving 😤
Just watched the whole video.. I'm a fashion designer (got a degree in fashion as well) but also back in school as a pre-med student (to become a doctor) .. my sister is into nursing so this video will definitely be helpful for her .. thanks!
I’m a medical assistant currently attending BMCC in Manhattan to become an RN. I’ll be graduating with my associates degree 2018 winter. Then going back to get my bachelors. It’s so hard folks. It’s hard I’m not going to lie. I’m currently taking 5 classes 18 credits this semester and like I said it’s been rough but I’m hanging in there. I know it’ll be worth it. Whatever God says you can do, Trust me you can do!!!!! I also worked as a PCA in a hospital for 10 years on a Med Surg floor so I fully understand where you’re coming from. No med surg for me burns you out🤦🏾♀️. But I would advice new RN’s with no experience to get their experience there. You learn everything!! Pray for me folks. They journey is not easy.
The nursing homes here in Michigan is where the money is. That's the difference here and home care you can get $300-400 just to open home care cases. Congrats on your RN
Yasss girl. Im from Brooklyn too. Im graduating from nursing school in jersey in 3 weeks. (Been here 10 yrs) Im so excited😁 Thanks for sharing. Good luck with everything moving forward!
I worked Neuro ICU 3 years after graduating from LVN school 17 years ago. Now I am no longer educated enough to work in the hospital at all. Go get your BSNs and do contract work and you can make 70k+ a year in Texas.
Shelly Well I have a few jobs lined up in Texas as we speak 🙌🏾. I’m thinking of just doing traveling for now till I find out where I want to raise my family.
I'm a LPN with 20+ years of nursing experience and recently got hired for the neuro floor at the local hospital. I asked them why they decided to bring the LPNs back and their response was a nurse shortage in the hospitals. I politely told them that's because the LPNs were kicked out or displaced and the RNs saw their case loads increase and decided to leave, PCTs can't do what we do so it left a lot on the RNs. The RNs there now are studying for their masters or to be practitioners and plan on leaving. They're there for the experience but plan on leaving. They have no desire for floor nursing so the majority of the hospitals are filled with travelling nurses. The program I'm in requires me to go back to nursing school which isn't a problem and they'll provide tuition assistance. The LPNs working in the critical care areas must take the critical care class to become certified. The hospitals here in StL or bringing the LPNs back which is great.
Very true Shelly. Magnet status has hospitals focusing on degrees instead of quality/experienced nurses. Been in Houston metro area since 2015 and all the surrounding hospitals are pushing for BSN.
I am in school to finish my gen Ed before I start the nursing program. Thank you for being transparent. I'm going to make a R.N. vision board for myself.
This was the most transparent video of nursing pay I’m not going into nursing solely for the money but want to be able to pay back student loans and live of course... very informative!
Christian Coleman thats all she talked about! Not how compassionate she is about patients or residents and or accurate or knowledgeable she in the field of nursing and got the nerve to brag about pay lookin like a new raggedy ass aide.
Congratulations on being transparent God Bless you and I’m glad that your Mom insisted you finish what you started. Keep up the good work and make your paper 💰💰 💰
Great job😊. I am an LPN working on RN in Florida as well. Good luck with your career. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work 👍 👍.
I’m an LPN, currently in school for my RN. That was some great information. You inspired me. And I love the way you tell and explain your story- straightforward and real. You got another subscriber! Me. Thank so much. Your awesome👍🏾
I agree. The presentation was to the point and not a lot of unnecessary talking. I lost my job in IT for third time. Monday is my first day of school for Patient Care Technician. I am also taking medication aide. Though my career is a deep down from yours your story is encouraging.
Kim Rumph. whatever you do get her to a community college with LPN program then 1 year 2 years experience with credentials/ credits behind her then go back to school get her Bachelors as a RN. plus experience she easily make $80K ~ $90K to start easy especially the big cities or assisted living facilities... as the gent said a CNA is a quick route fall back to see if she really like the medical field... also a Physician Asst.. big bucks $100k plus ever decide to become a doctor in training..jb I know I have 3 Masters I see the operations of it all..
it's also important to remember pay grade is based off cost of living in each state, I live in NC where the cost of living is middle class. so $20-25hr is affordable. but making that amount somewhere like CA, would seem like minimum wage
Pretty awesome. Good for you that you know your worth and didn’t settle for less pay. Have a good one sweetie pie. Take care and God bless you always 👍👍🙏🙏
I am so happy to hear from a New Yorker 😀😀 I am living in NY and I want to start my LPN then move to RN...however I didn't get the name of the school you went to in Long island...I would love to find the very best LPN program to attand...thanks for sharing...God bless you!
Wow you’re lucky to have found hospital LPN positions in NY. My friends and I (NYers had to go to Jersey just to find a program that didn’t have a crazy waiting list. Afterwards they couldn’t find jobs for 6-8 months as new grads and same for me after moving to Miami. Still can’t find LPN hospital jobs and now living in Seattle where there are decent paying jobs for us here. Did my ASN in Miami but NCLEX got the better of me so I continue LPNing 😆 NYC area is hard place to get into any nursing program especially if you’re not a straight A student. Great video and thanks for posting.
I take my nclex next wk wish me luck folks. So I read an article about a man who lives in Georgia but also has a nursing license in the Bayside of California and he works there per diem. So he makes tons of money working in California and he brings that back home in Georgia where the cost of living is less. For someone who is single like myself with no responsibilities I would say for anyone who's interested maybe that can be an option. That helps dismantle the equivalent of getting paid more in California but it really not making a difference because the cost of living. At least when you are bringing home a California paycheck and a state where cost of living is cheaper it is all worth it
Somewhat true. U need a California license to work in Cali. Housing in cheap in central California and pay is still good. Avoid LA and San Francisco area. I'm moving back to California in 3 weeks from Texas.
Thank you soo much for sharing. I have an A.S. in Biotechnology. I decided to go back to school for my BSN. However, I was advised to 1st get a ADN, bc I only need 2 gen ed courses, and 3 Core nursing classes before taking the NCLEX. Fast forward my dilemma is that the school I got accepted to cost 8,000 for the gen ed courses and 10,000 per Nur course =40,000. All 3 community colleges(12-15,000 for entire ADN program) have long waits. I am considering travelling to the next state over, bc I don't want to wait another year, bc of cost. I'll be a nurse somewhere by then. Sorry for the long wind, but I thank you for sharing your journey!
This is sooooo encouraging...Blessings 👏🏾 I am 34 years old w/ 4 beautiful children and I would like to become a Nurse as well.... but I do not know where tonstart or which way to go while working so I often get discouraged 😓 I can't leave my job because this is my only source of income 😩 I completed a PCT class and externship in 2011 (while pregnant w/ my twins) but I never did my state exam smh😌 I know it's not to late for me though... I really want to get started so I can make my family happy. So proud of you Ladies 🙏🏾❤️
lol at the end " being nosey"..& you mentioned Veeb! I was looking into that program (since I'm in LI) and got into Hunter's instead ..I'm definitely going for my RN after this..thx for sharing this info!
I always wanted to be a Nurse (no kidding), I always was attracted in working in the Medical field. I wish I could’ve stayed in school for Nursing. My Auntie who passed was a Nurse in the Military, my other Auntie on my Mom’s side is a LPN & my cousin is a RN. I guess Nurses run in the family. I need to find my true calling. Thank you for sharing the video. Also new subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️
Wow this video was very helpful !!! And explained very well sometimes it be / feel like your getting nowhere because it’s taking to long to get where you want to be and god place / bring the right person to you and help you get back on track !! I need this !!! Hope all is well and congrats on the bundle of joy #newsubbie
I went through the same thing..started out in RN school with pre reqs only to find out the waiting list was horribly long, so I got my lpn, I make what a new rn prob does in the hospital. I've been a lpn for 7 years now! I'm so desperately wanting my RN! Good for you and I pray I get mine soon! ♡
I wanted to check your check pay amount, but I also wanted some information...which you also explained the difference in pay for LPN to RN in your case. I like how you continued to fight for what you wanted and that is what I like most of all from you video. It's nice to know your self worth and value when it comes to these types of opportunities and you didn't give up.
I work as a Home health RN in Los Angeles.... take home pay weekly ranges btw 2-5k. Amount depends on how many hrs you put in. Nursing is a career path that one can’t regret, especially if u ready and able to put in the work.
Amber Cole my friend just moved out to Cali and she makes $102 an hour to work in the cath lab. Cost of living don’t matter when you’re making money like that lol
I been a CNA for 3 years now. I was looking into being a LVN, but I'm thinking it's hard. I'm just going to keep myself encourage and go back to school next year. Thanks for sharing!!
Im a travel Certified Nursing Assistant and make the same amount in CA with overtime and doubles. I can pull in 8k a month if i really want to and can get enough rest.
Hi, I’ve been an LPN for over 30 years. I have always regretted not becoming an RN. I am making more than most of my coworkers that are RNs. I am conflicted because I want to earn my RN. I am however planning on working about 5-7 more years and don’t know if it would be be worth it to take a pay cut....
Like the video but I also believe that pay varies on what state u live in as well pay is gonna be more bc rent is higher you will need that extra money unlike a state that has low rent your income won’t be as high but at the end of the day the pay evens out to the same bc all that money will be spent on rent
Chris Smith it does vary by state. For my case, the area that I live in cost of living is high. The cost of living is going up but yet the pay isn’t so I know a lot of nurses that struggle due to this.
thanks so much for all this info. it gave me a better understanding bekuz this is exactly what i will be doin in the near future. thanks again stay blessed100%
awww i love your sweet beautiful self...hehehe.and yes I am nosy because that paycheck looks good doll...hahaha...anyways i am heading into nursing school soooo yesss get ittttt!!!I love your videos....
Oh my Wonderful God above girl you are the perfect example of PERSERVERENCE I love this video. Currently a nurse KNOWING YOUR WORTH AND VALUE IS KEY. You have to market yourself...glad for you. Is BSN in your future .
That is a good statement because you can tell the people that are doing a job and they really don't like it.. and they're doing it for the money they have no bedside manners and very rude. Nurses are my favorite people..
I Just wish nurses would do the job because they want to care for patients I have had terrible nurses over the years so bad I tell my family never leave me alone at the hospital
This was a very informative video! I am from New York as well. I’m not a nurse but I have friends who are LPN’s and had the same struggle! And you would think you’ll get paid more as an RN! Lol.
I live in a rural town in Minnesota and as an LPN they start somewhere between $16-18/hr and and RN starts at $32/hr in the hospital. So for us it is double to become an RN
That’s why I’m n struggle to get accepted to the ADN program now if i gotta work i May as well get paid for it ... LPN Jobs here are basically limited to Nursing homes and they aren’t my thang ... congratulations on your success
Wonderful video. After 12 years in Police work I'm strongly considering the LPN path as a start to the medical world. Any advice would be great. And thank you.
This poped up in my recommend videos as a black male tryna go into Occupational Therapy waiting to get into the program ( I applied twice got put on waiting list the second time) this just kinda reassured me that being consistent with pay off
I tried to become an RN but my math and science grades were too low and the program is too competitive. They have straight A students to choose from and admit to their program, spaces are limited and the A students are the ones competing for those limited spots. They say there is a shortage of RNs but the school requirements should be strict, especially when people's lives and health are at risk. How much do you pay for RN liability insurance?
I never understood that either. Where I live it's a high nurse shortage, but they make it so hard for people to get in the program. Everyone can't get all A's,and I feel it's unfair that they look past a potential great nurse because they didn't get all A's. Good grades is cool don't get me wrong,but that doesn't mean you will be a good nurse. I worked with nurses who were top of their class and let me tell you, I would rather die before I let them touch me.
I just wanna do my LPN it’s 11 months over here in FL but every facility an hospital pays different an agency plays a big part in it too cux they pay $26-30 an hour
IDK why im seeing this. Im a compsci major and i dont like people enough to be a nurse. But glad to see another sister making her career goals come true! Push thru sis!
I needed this video. I recently relocated to Florida and I'm debating about going for my RN. I have my BS in Public Health and my Masters in Public Administration. I'm still indescive about where I want to advance to.
I went to BD. Of Education Adult Practical Nurse program I am a travel LPN my highest rate is $35 hr. /in facility & $40/ for flu shots. I have a wonderful career. RN is also a great career.
I have been an RN for 32 years. I graduated from BCC and College of Staten Is. started In private, but left to do Level one Trauma centers, Jacobi, Harlem & Bellevue. I stayed at those hospitals because of the camaraderie , benefits and the pension! You can always work per diem outside! I’am an OR Nurse so I get work anywhere! As a NYC employee, you will have the best pension system! I now work for the dept of health. When I retire in five years, I will make more money retired than working my regular job! HHC always have OT. When you are young, you are more focused on money! Plan you future wisely! Time goes by very fast! Good luck!
I uploaded a more in depth video answering a lot of your questions. Feel free to check it out th-cam.com/video/c9d7wLPx-xA/w-d-xo.html
PurpleReign 413 thanks so much for posting
Have you share your blessings by "Volunteering" ? Nursing isn't about the amount of monies you make 😲
I volunteer all the time. I am a part of black nurses rock and we do a lot of community work and education.
Is it still hard to get to get into the nursing in medgar evers college? Was thinking on going there for nursing
Which school you went to for the LPN and which school did you do your LPN to RN?
All my nursing staff and healers out there, please remember to take care of yourself. You count first. U can only gift what u have.
Salt bath, meditation or proper workout, healthy organic meals, hydration, sleep and sunbathing (yes my dark skinned girls the sun is amazing for u) 🙌🏾✌🏾
Agreed
Thanks for that reply I needed to hear that.
Get your experience...im 8yrs BSN get 2 yr ICU experience and go travel then come back you will make more. In the last 7yrs ive made nothing less than 120k per yr
Transparent life of Dee Dee thanks for the recommendation 💕
How are you making 120 traveling? Overtime? Before of after taxes?
Is this w overtime or 80 hours only
Girl I’m over here studying for My NCLEX thank you for the motivation I needed it
Transparent life of Dee Dee damn u must have a very stable life
My dad makes around 35k my mom makes 45k
And I’m grateful for what I have but rarely is my family able to buy us anything we live paycheck to paycheck because I have 3 other siblings and we usually never get things on Christmas or 20$ on b day
I’m still grateful because i could be living in a clay house with little to no food
You can make all the money in the world but if you dont know how to manage it your still poor broke.
Those who start at the bottom and those who paid to be at top. Field experience is important.
*you're
You not lying cause some live way above pay check level.
Yup
I’m a sonographer ( ultrasound tech ) in Connecticut and make more than that with less stress. Nursing is not the only medical job that makes money. Not to mention I go home on time everydayyyy!
Mellissa Henry-walsh I believe it but everyone choose a different path in life for a reason. I wanted to switch from LPN to physical therapy cause I was stressed out but then I realized that’s not my calling.
I want to do sonography, but ugh 2 years not working. The programs here in nyc is 9 to 6pm everyday for 2 years, i have a kid i cant .. do that but i sooo want to do that
Melissa, how long did you have to go to school to be a sonographer?
Thanks
I love being an RN and no I might not get to go home on ti mb e every night. I'm not there for the paycheck as good as the money is. Being able to help heal people and make a difference is what matters to me. I tell people if u r hear for the paycheck this field is not for you. U gotta have a lot of heart and compassion. I'm an ICU nurse.
Not about the money. It’s all about what makes u happy. The money follows your happiness.
What’s good for u isn’t the same for someone else. If you are happy, no need to compare yourself with someone else’s paycheck or happiness.
Beautiful video chica. I was a LPN-RN as well. Hard work 🙌🏾
Now, I’m following my dream with no paycheck at all 🤣🤣🤣.
I’m happy and money catching up to me.
U look extremely happy. Shed more love in this world lovely!!!!
Thank you for being so open & candid. It’s good to know what to expect. I’m a RT thinking of RN & I have the same dilemma...appreciate the vid!
Yes, we are nosey😁 thank you kindly for this video and allowing us into your business. Very informative.
Finishing my prereqs to apply for the RN program🤗🤗 Thanks for the info
Can't wait! Labor and Delivery here I come. 1 more year left.

PurpleReign 413 😂🤣
I’m in school currently finishing my pre req for the RN program and this was very encouraging salary wise as well as the comments. I am so excited to be a NICU nurse 😩🙌🏾❤️
Congratulations on your transition from being an LPN to becoming an awesome RN!!! #continuetoachieveyourgoalsinlife

How did you prepare for nclex? What review did you use...like books and other sources.
You are a LPN while going to RN school? Is that very hard to do ? I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to be a full time LPN and go to school.
Proud of you my sista ..
Just watched the whole video.. I'm a fashion designer (got a degree in fashion as well) but also back in school as a pre-med student (to become a doctor) .. my sister is into nursing so this video will definitely be helpful for her .. thanks!

Yaass girl, so nice to see hard work paying off. Fabulous.....
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’ve been thinking of going to nursing school. Now I definitely will.
this was a really good video, you were open and honest. I love how you told us the rates and all
I am in school to finish my gen Ed before I start the nursing program. Thank you for being transparent. I'm going to make a R.N. vision board for myself.
God bless Your path
This was the most transparent video of nursing pay I’m not going into nursing solely for the money but want to be able to pay back student loans and live of course... very informative!
Christian Coleman thats all she talked about! Not how compassionate she is about patients or residents and or accurate or knowledgeable she in the field of nursing and got the nerve to brag about pay lookin like a new raggedy ass aide.
Exactly, @Christian Coleman why cant every profession be straight forward like this.
Congrats on standing up for your worth and sticking to it.
Congratulations on being transparent God Bless you and I’m glad that your Mom insisted you finish what you started. Keep up the good work and make your paper 💰💰 💰
Great job😊. I am an LPN working on RN in Florida as well. Good luck with your career. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work 👍 👍.
My journey has been LPN, RN and now ready to pursue my own business. Bedside nursing over 26 years. Thx for sharing your story. CONGRATULATIONS. 🖤
Love your story. The part about you know your worth... had me like ....Yesss!!!
these jobs know when theyre bullshitting, with some of these salary offers theyll give you

I agree. The presentation was to the point and not a lot of unnecessary talking. I lost my job in IT for third time. Monday is my first day of school for Patient Care Technician. I am also taking medication aide. Though my career is a deep down from yours your story is encouraging.
My daughter wants to be a nurse. This was helpful when she gets to college and choices.
tell her to get a CNA job real quick just to make sure shes about it.
Kim Rumph. whatever you do
get her to a community college
with LPN program then 1 year 2
years experience with credentials/
credits behind her then go back
to school get her Bachelors as a
RN. plus experience she easily
make $80K ~ $90K to start easy
especially the big cities or assisted living facilities...
as the gent said a CNA is a quick
route fall back to see if she really
like the medical field...
also a Physician Asst.. big bucks
$100k plus ever decide to become a doctor in training..jb
I know I have 3 Masters I see
the operations of it all..
Welcome to the field, it is an amazing profession, I absolutely love being a nurse.
SUNSHINE JOSEPH thank you 💕
🙏💕AMEN💕🙏..LIKEWISE!~~I LOVE IT!

Thank you for this info! Wishing you the very best an abundance of Blessings 😊
This is inspiring I’m 2 weeks away from becoming A Medical Assistant && I want to continue school for my LPN thanks
I take my nclex next wk wish me luck folks. So I read an article about a man who lives in Georgia but also has a nursing license in the Bayside of California and he works there per diem. So he makes tons of money working in California and he brings that back home in Georgia where the cost of living is less. For someone who is single like myself with no responsibilities I would say for anyone who's interested maybe that can be an option. That helps dismantle the equivalent of getting paid more in California but it really not making a difference because the cost of living. At least when you are bringing home a California paycheck and a state where cost of living is cheaper it is all worth it
Somewhat true. U need a California license to work in Cali. Housing in cheap in central California and pay is still good. Avoid LA and San Francisco area. I'm moving back to California in 3 weeks from Texas.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST
Patricia my prayers are with you my friend. You are going to do great.
Patricia
Best of luck, nursie. And welcome.
Well wishes to you passing the NCLEX. I know that you’ve probably taken it already.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING. KEEP GIVING INSPIRATION TO OTHERS. GOD BLESS YOU.
Thank you soo much for sharing. I have an A.S. in Biotechnology. I decided to go back to school for my BSN. However, I was advised to 1st get a ADN, bc I only need 2 gen ed courses, and 3 Core nursing classes before taking the NCLEX. Fast forward my dilemma is that the school I got accepted to cost 8,000 for the gen ed courses and 10,000 per Nur course =40,000. All 3 community colleges(12-15,000 for entire ADN program) have long waits. I am considering travelling to the next state over, bc I don't want to wait another year, bc of cost. I'll be a nurse somewhere by then. Sorry for the long wind, but I thank you for sharing your journey!
i feel like the only male here lol. Im going into nursing have been watching TH-cam RN videos like crazy....this is going to be a good path
Great choice.. Make the money, dnt let it make you

Good Luck Brother👍
I love male nurses! I’m a nurse as well keep up the good work
Ready for that bigger paycheck yes Lord 😍
This is sooooo encouraging...Blessings 👏🏾 I am 34 years old w/ 4 beautiful children and I would like to become a Nurse as well.... but I do not know where tonstart or which way to go while working so I often get discouraged 😓 I can't leave my job because this is my only source of income 😩 I completed a PCT class and externship in 2011 (while pregnant w/ my twins) but I never did my state exam smh😌 I know it's not to late for me though... I really want to get started so I can make my family happy. So proud of you Ladies 🙏🏾❤️
lol at the end " being nosey"..& you mentioned Veeb! I was looking into that program (since I'm in LI) and got into Hunter's instead ..I'm definitely going for my RN after this..thx for sharing this info!
I always wanted to be a Nurse (no kidding), I always was attracted in working in the Medical field. I wish I could’ve stayed in school for Nursing. My Auntie who passed was a Nurse in the Military, my other Auntie on my Mom’s side is a LPN & my cousin is a RN. I guess Nurses run in the family. I need to find my true calling. Thank you for sharing the video. Also new subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️
Passion T you got time. Go to air force and be a medic for 3 yrs. Get a foundation. Get that GI bill and get paid to go to school.
Passion T it's never too late.
That whole medical industry is a racket.
Exactly
Wow this video was very helpful !!! And explained very well sometimes it be / feel like your getting nowhere because it’s taking to long to get where you want to be and god place / bring the right person to you and help you get back on track !! I need this !!! Hope all is well and congrats on the bundle of joy #newsubbie
Get it how u live! Ayyyy...Congrats mama! ✊🏾
I went through the same thing..started out in RN school with pre reqs only to find out the waiting list was horribly long, so I got my lpn, I make what a new rn prob does in the hospital. I've been a lpn for 7 years now! I'm so desperately wanting my RN! Good for you and I pray I get mine soon! ♡
You broke this down so perfectly 😍🙌🏾👏🏾 thank you so much! Going for my LPN September 2020 😊
I wanted to check your check pay amount, but I also wanted some information...which you also explained the difference in pay for LPN to RN in your case. I like how you continued to fight for what you wanted and that is what I like most of all from you video. It's nice to know your self worth and value when it comes to these types of opportunities and you didn't give up.
Thanks for being transparent! Great video 👍🏽
I work as a Home health RN in Los Angeles.... take home pay weekly ranges btw 2-5k. Amount depends on how many hrs you put in. Nursing is a career path that one can’t regret, especially if u ready and able to put in the work.
I make 2400 a check as a cna in California 80h every 2weeks . My mom makes 5000 as a masters level RN in California
What part of Cali?
shitttt that is why I have to move to California after I get my license they pay lolll I çñt wait
But the cost of living is higher in Cali
Cost of living is ridiculously high over there though
Amber Cole my friend just moved out to Cali and she makes $102 an hour to work in the cath lab. Cost of living don’t matter when you’re making money like that lol
Good job.
You are on a journey. Keep up the good work.
God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m currently in school to receive my RN!
I been a CNA for 3 years now. I was looking into being a LVN, but I'm thinking it's hard. I'm just going to keep myself encourage and go back to school next year. Thanks for sharing!!
Ashley Mason y got this❤️❤️❤️
@@brownsugarcoffee1 thanks ❤️
Im a travel Certified Nursing Assistant and make the same amount in CA with overtime and doubles. I can pull in 8k a month if i really want to and can get enough rest.
Just become an RN... It's hard to be an LVN and be treated as a nurse.
U can do it!!
Hi,
I’ve been an LPN for over 30 years. I have always regretted not becoming an RN.
I am making more than most of my coworkers that are RNs. I am conflicted because I want to earn my RN.
I am however planning on working about 5-7 more years and don’t know if it would be be worth it to take a pay cut....
Thanks for sharing. I live in Brooklyn and this video is right on time.
I’m not even trying to be in the medical field but I’m African and know sooooo many family and friends who are, your video gave so much insight!
I still know my work!!! Amen!!! You have to let them know!! Yes mom!!!!
Like the video but I also believe that pay varies on what state u live in as well pay is gonna be more bc rent is higher you will need that extra money unlike a state that has low rent your income won’t be as high but at the end of the day the pay evens out to the same bc all that money will be spent on rent
Chris Smith it does vary by state. For my case, the area that I live in cost of living is high. The cost of living is going up but yet the pay isn’t so I know a lot of nurses that struggle due to this.
It would seem that it's that cut and dry but it isn't. Just because the cost of living increases doesn't guarantee an increase in pay
it's not that cut and dry as someone indicated but you are right is largely affected by location and cost of living just like any other jobs
thanks so much for all this info. it gave me a better understanding bekuz this is exactly what i will be doin in the near future. thanks again stay blessed100%
awww i love your sweet beautiful self...hehehe.and yes I am nosy because that paycheck looks good doll...hahaha...anyways i am heading into nursing school soooo yesss get ittttt!!!I love your videos....
Good luck! Build your savings!
j jones it’s building and thanks 💗
Wayyyyy to go girl
Thank you for your transparency!!!
This was so informative! Thank you!
I’m currently a LPN. I’m starting the bridge program in Fall 2019. I’m 21 and I’m so excited to become an RN. My goal is to become a nurse midwife.
I came to see the paycheck, I wish I was bringing that home, good girl.
Me too👋👋👋😀
Oh my Wonderful God above girl you are the perfect example of PERSERVERENCE I love this video. Currently a nurse KNOWING YOUR WORTH AND VALUE IS KEY. You have to market yourself...glad for you. Is BSN in your future .
aritha brown im currently working on my masters in education 💕 thank you for watching!
So now I really want to be a RN! All you nurses better get it!! I can’t wait to be one! ❤️❤️
Do it if it's your joy and your calling. Don't just do it for money.
Sarah Givens trust me, if it was for the money I wouldn’t be a nurse. I do this because this is what I’m meant to do 💕
Yes and amen! It takes a special kind of heart to care for others with dignity... We need more loving nurses!💗
👍👍👍👍that’s why I’m lab. I prefer the poop in a sorbet container or urine cup. Not thrown or smeared around.
That is a good statement because you can tell the people that are doing a job and they really don't like it.. and they're doing it for the money they have no bedside manners and very rude. Nurses are my favorite people..
Don't do anything for the money...never works
“I know my worth!” Yes you do!
Know your worth 🙌🏽 In a job interview you really have to sell yourself to let people see that. I can't wait till I become a nurse God willing.
I've been pondering about going to school to be an LPN... this helped a lot
I Just wish nurses would do the job because they want to care for patients I have had terrible nurses over the years so bad I tell my family never leave me alone at the hospital
Thanks for sharing your paycheck! I graduate as an RN in a year!
How many years of schooling have you attended
Me to i graduate next year 2019 RN
Go Kayla !!!! I have been a nurse for 13 years, 9 as RN and 4 as LVN.
Hey I graduate in May good luck nursing sister
This was a very informative video! I am from New York as well. I’m not a nurse but I have friends who are LPN’s and had the same struggle! And you would think you’ll get paid more as an RN! Lol.
This was so detail. Thank you for sharing
I live in a rural town in Minnesota and as an LPN they start somewhere between $16-18/hr and and RN starts at $32/hr in the hospital. So for us it is double to become an RN
Was an RN and switched to a therapist and I make more money as a private practice therapist! Good luck !
Thank you, for you candidness!👄
Congratulations on gwtting your RN!! The trend for nurses these days is to be bachelor's prepared, you might want to consider it!
1cbjack I am and thank you for watching 💕
That’s why I’m n struggle to get accepted to the ADN program now if i gotta work i May as well get paid for it ... LPN Jobs here are basically limited to Nursing homes and they aren’t my thang ... congratulations on your success
Lesa Rena Do not limit yourself. Never saw myself working in a nursing home either but you have to start somewhere.
Wonderful video. After 12 years in Police work I'm strongly considering the LPN path as a start to the medical world. Any advice would be great. And thank you.
This poped up in my recommend videos as a black male tryna go into Occupational Therapy waiting to get into the program ( I applied twice got put on waiting list the second time) this just kinda reassured me that being consistent with pay off
Thnk you so much for this video ! This was so helpful
I tried to become an RN but my math and science grades were too low and the program is too competitive. They have straight A students to choose from and admit to their program, spaces are limited and the A students are the ones competing for those limited spots. They say there is a shortage of RNs but the school requirements should be strict, especially when people's lives and health are at risk. How much do you pay for RN liability insurance?
I never understood that either. Where I live it's a high nurse shortage, but they make it so hard for people to get in the program. Everyone can't get all A's,and I feel it's unfair that they look past a potential great nurse because they didn't get all A's. Good grades is cool don't get me wrong,but that doesn't mean you will be a good nurse. I worked with nurses who were top of their class and let me tell you, I would rather die before I let them touch me.
I just wanna do my LPN it’s 11 months over here in FL but every facility an hospital pays different an agency plays a big part in it too cux they pay $26-30 an hour
IDK why im seeing this. Im a compsci major and i dont like people enough to be a nurse. But glad to see another sister making her career goals come true! Push thru sis!
I needed this video. I recently relocated to Florida and I'm debating about going for my RN. I have my BS in Public Health and my Masters in Public Administration. I'm still indescive about where I want to advance to.
MissesWest whatever you decide to do you’ll succeed 💕
I went to BD. Of Education Adult Practical Nurse program I am a travel LPN my highest rate is $35 hr. /in facility & $40/ for flu shots. I have a wonderful career. RN is also a great career.
Inger Williams I wanted to go to that program because it was wayyyyy cheaper than veeb but you had to be 21 to start and I was 19.
Inger Williams I am looking for something PT would you mind sharing where I can apply to work administering flu shots?
melizabeth what state are you in I used flu busters it was great
What state are you living?
Judy Ellis I’m in Georgia now California is the best pay
Arizona new grads (RN) start from $28-35!! And that’s considered the low end here !
Boss Lady yeah....but it’s Arizona 😬
I'm a new grad LVN in Cali and at Kaiser you make 28-30$ starting !
I have been an RN for 32 years. I graduated from BCC and College of Staten Is. started In private, but left to do Level one Trauma centers, Jacobi, Harlem & Bellevue. I stayed at those hospitals because of the camaraderie , benefits and the pension! You can always work per diem outside! I’am an OR Nurse so I get work anywhere! As a NYC employee, you will have the best pension system! I now work for the dept of health. When I retire in five years, I will make more money retired than working my regular job! HHC always have OT. When you are young, you are more focused on money! Plan you future wisely! Time goes by very fast! Good luck!
Did you stay at the same facility for 20yrs? or did you roll over your retirement
