    So glad I left nursing, $2,300 bi-weekly was not enough for the amount of work we did and the liability we carried. I went back to school for IT 2 years into my nursing career, i now work for Epic as a contractor at the same hospital i was an RN, my base salary new out of school $120k a year, no weekends, no holidays, no nights with 10% annual bonuses and 5% holiday bonuses annually on top. I can work from home when I want to, I can leave by 3pm everyday and arrive by 8am. Computer Science is where it's at

    Nursing is my 2nd career. It has always been rough. If you have been at the bedside 20+ years that speaks to your perseverance. Nursing has many avenues, many opportunities. Bedside is only one aspect. Nursing is also a part of a broken system that is healthcare. I would never discourage anyone from following their dreams. Step into this field with your eyes wide open. Advocate for yourself as you would for your patient. Take care of yourself physically and mentally. Understand, that all money isn't good money. Decide when the sacrifice is worth it. Stand up for the rights of nurses. Covid magnified issues that were already there. This is not an easy field to be in, but I wouldn't change my choice of being a nurse. I love what I do. Best of luck to you!!

    I have been a RN for 20 years. As a new grad I'm sure you are excited and driven by the financial incentives to frequently pick up extra shifts. The down side of this is the mental and physical stress you encounter. The poor staffing, forced overtime and often poor administration can add to job fatigue and burn out. Most nurses will eventually come to the realization that no amount on financial incentives can replace your mental and physical health needs. Bedside nursing has become unbearable in many institutions which is why many nurses are finding positions outside of direct patient care or leaving the profession all together. It's sad to say I would no longer recommend a career in nursing to any of my family or friends.

I mean they gave me an unstable patient who had a rapid response called for him 30 minutes before the start of my shift on my 4th day as a graduate nurse. Hope it changes otherwise l don't see myself lasting in bedside care.

    As a new grad you make good money! I have been working for little more than a year as a CNA at a local hospital. Our nurses start out at $29/hour in midwest.... after 2 years a nurse friend was just raised to $31/hour. The COVID pay (that came to an end) at my hospital (for RN nurses only was $100/hour bonus plus weekend plus night shift differential). Now the money was great for nurses! My friend showed me her bi-weekly check she's getting $6k after taxes bi-weekly with some bonus shifts/hours.
    Now... the reality of CNA/Nurses (at MedSurge floor)
    - You get patients who are at the hospital (because they have not pooped for 4 days). I had an obese woman who was given laxatives and instead of calling us after she went 1 time to bedpan, then she started just pooping into bed! When I walked into her room and asked her why she didn't call? She replied "oops I forgot". The patient could not or would not even turn to her side. The male nurse helped me to clean up twice the patient for the 3rd time she pooped in an hour, the male nurse was not to be found and I had to deal with the patient myself. She just enjoyed pooping into bed because she knew it would be taken care of.
    - You have "bed rest" patients that PT - Physical Therapy love to get those patients to sit on chairs/bed side commode and leave them there for CNA's and RN's to get the patient back into bed! There were multiple times when the patient was not getting up even with two helpers and 4 people had to be asked to help to move the patient from chair to the bed
    - Many patients "slide down in bed" - even if it's not your patient, you are asked to "boost the patient up in bed" - remember it's YOUR back! If you pull your back and live alone and work as a CNA for lousy minimum wage - sucks to be you!
    - A good number of patients think they are "God's gift and everyone in hospital must dance around them" - They have "the call button syndrome" - they press the button to mute their TV, they press the button to take their dirty cup from their table away, they press the button to unplug an IV from an outlet, they press the button to ask "what day is it today?"
    - When you are given 8 bedrest patients / 4 being COVID, 2 being Enteric isolation (fountain of smelly poop) - That's my typical work day!
    - Sometimes a patient can be "confused" can beat up a nurse! Happened on our shift! A charge nurse was beaten by a patient. The charge nurse wanted to press charges, she was told "the patient is confused"
    The bottom line : They don't pay you these money for nothing! CNA's have it the worst I think but nurses are responsible for the patients. As a CNA a patient yelled at me "I will kill you! etc...
    So the nursing/CNA career is not appreciated as much and the pay could've been better if you think how much money these hospitals make per patient....

      Yes, thank you for mentioning this. I think many people these days is making videos about how you can make the big money in nursing. Sadly, they forget to mention about all the exploitation, unsafe conditions one has to work in, and violence. I believe if people is going in for the money, they soon will have a reality check.

      I make $2700 BI WEEKLY as a PCA SO $5700 A month because of overtime pay working a extra day 12hrs and I just sit with psych people lol. I’m in school for nursing though. I understand this as they are short staff at my hospital, but it crazy how an older psych tech told me some of us make more than these nurses. Which is why they don’t like us working overtime meaning another 12hrs shift lol. Why? Because they only work 3 days a week out of 12hr shift because like u said it to much and it a lot of stress and roles for nurses. As for psych tech it’s easy because we watch only one patient and it’s basic stuff as it can be stress some days, but not as much as nurses which is why some of us work overtime shift and weekends to make $5700 a month lol. It a good pay for me when I’m in school and it better if u have a spouse that split bills so I’m pocking the other $3700. Taxes are less for us compare to the higher salary. Do I do retirement? Yes lol 16% take out while my employer match 100%.

    Nursing is tough, those 12 hour shifts are exhausting. Pick up what you can, but don’t exhaust yourself. REST and enjoy a balanced life. However…the extra shift does help especially if you have a financial goal you want to reach such as a new car, savings goal, house, vacation, etc. Perhaps set up a goal and put the extra money from the bonuses and overtime towards that goal.
    I work like crazy during my semesters in between nursing school and it’s exhausting. I try to get as much rest as possible, and enjoy my life, but I am also motivated to save as much as I can during that time because it creates a “buffer” for me when I cut my hours back down one school resumes. Prior to nursing school, I worked overtime when I was saving for goals like my down payment for my house and new car.
    All in all, do whatever is best for you. Thanks for your informative video as well as being an awesome nurse for your patients.

    Treat your CNA’s nicely and they will treat you back nicely. Worked as a CNA for 2 1/2 years. Got sick and tired of working in a SNF facility due to disrespect, understaffing, and my job pressuring me to work 16+ hr and if we picked up extra shifts we would also get an extra 50$. I was in LVN school and working at the same time. Couldn’t take it and had a big mental breakdown and left LVN school. 5 months ago I switched my career to medical billing and coding. I am so happy with my switch.

    Never in my life have i seen any check i’ve made over 19 an hour. Getting paid enough is based on your perspective. If you want to be of good use to your community and get paid well while doing it… NURSING IS THE WAY TO GO. I can’t wait till i graduate!!!

      I make $2700 BI WEEKLY as a PCA SO $5700 A month because of overtime pay working a extra day 12hrs and I just sit with psych people lol. I’m in school for nursing though. I understand this as they are short staff at my hospital, but it crazy how an older psych tech told me some of us make more than these nurses. Which is why they don’t like us working overtime meaning another 12hrs shift lol. Why? Because they only work 3 days a week out of 12hr shift because like u said it to much and it a lot of stress and roles for nurses. As for psych tech it’s easy because we watch only one patient and it’s basic stuff as it can be stress some days, but not as much as nurses which is why some of us work overtime shift and weekends to make $5700 a month lol. It a good pay for me when I’m in school and it better if u have a spouse that split bills so I’m pocking the other $3700. Taxes are less for us compare to the higher salary. Do I do retirement? Yes lol 16% take out while my employer match 100%.

    I’d do the same, have the highest or close to the highest amount of taxes at ken out to ensure you don’t owe in the end. Once you get a grasp on your income and taxes then make adjustments to receive more take home pay.

    Time and a half after 40 hours is law in any job though .... shift diff is customary in any healthcare position for weekends / nights / etc. the only difference here are the incentives given due to covid which none of this has to do with being a new grad RN, it's just timing of what is occurring. Please take the time to heed others advice and don't do too much too fast - you will burn out.

    I left nursing and work as insurance adjuster now and it’s about a 70k a year job but far easier and didn’t even need a degree… and I’m in west texas where that salary goes a lot further than other cities. My job is salaried and usually finish my work sooner than end of day. But I will admit when I switched was pre Covid when nurses we’re definitely underpaid far worst. Pay scales have really gone up post Covid

    Instead of paying the most in taxes. I recommend you look at what tax brackets you fall into, depending on income and/or dependents you may have, get that percentage taxed from you pay checks.
    Yes you may not get a huge refund at the end of the year, but as long as you did it correctly and wont owe them.
    Then with the extra money that would have gone to taxes just invest it in your retirement.

    AZ and NV are really great paying states. My friends graduated this year and started at $40 an hour at the ER here in Las Vegas…. And girl, no state income tax! Come on over! Also, forget the 401k! As a higher earner you can do more with that money in other investments and probably make more! 401k’s are more for those that will not have a high earning salary!

  • @jasminflowers9545
    @jasminflowers9545 Před 2 lety +3

    While it’s a good idea to pay enough in taxes so that you don’t have to pay back any, overpaying is essentially giving the government a free loan with no interest. Best case scenario is to break even and invest your savings!
