I love all of you sooo much and I hope you have a fabulous week!! Be kind to one another😊
Wow thank you much for saying how much you get pay! I don’t see why most people don’t like to share that 🥴🥴 like dude I am not coming to take your money!! 💰 I just want the truth and a little inspiration 😆
I hear you girl and that’s exactly why I made this video l🙌🏽 I’m glad you found it inspiring 💓✨
Lmao yes on the inspiration 😂😂
RIGHT. I don’t understand why it’s so personal 😭
It's so important we are more transparent about pay so employers will pay people fair market value for real... This can help close the cost of living and wage gap for. Good stuff in sharing this!
Some employers don’t allow employees to discuss salary.
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
Uum what degree do u have and what is your job title???
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.

Thanks for sharing this with us! I appreciate you being so open and honest❤️
Love the transparency! This is super helpful
Miss ma’am, thank you so VERY MUCH for being so transparent with your pay. You & another travel nurse young lady are the FIRST women, I’ve seen take the time to do this. As someone has already mentioned in another comment, this subject use to be so hush hush 🤫 taboo type S**t, and I never understood why. Anywho, I thank you for sharing & inspiring so many like myself. 💙
i really appreciate for your honesty and being transparent.❤
Thank you for sharing!! People are so scared to talk about this but I think being someone who is about to go into my final semester of nursing school, this is super informative!
YESS ! I’m super happy it was helpful to you 👏🏽 good luck with your final semester 🎉😇
Love this video and your transparency. I remember when I made around $37/hr working nights in NYC at my first job as a new grad. My wife and I learned quickly that if we would move to California we could make double that. I'm now making $96/hr and she's making $118/hr. We're never working in another state again.
I just graduated and got my SEMI Truck CDL A license. As a rookie, I make $4000 every two weeks. $8000 a month.
Where do you make $98 and $118 per hour? Bull shit! 🤣
@@GhostRider-il8en you must not live in California
The cost of living is more expensive in Cali you probably aren’t making too much more when you crunch the numbers.
@@bigjerm210ify depends where you live. Even after taxes, my wife and I are taking home an average of $15k to $20k/mo. After our mortgage and expenses, we are left with $11k per month.
I'm so motivated. Of course I am not only doing Nursing for the money, but because I am BIG on being a people's person and I love the medical field! HOWEVER, I am looking forward to the pay being that I've grown up in poverty! I'm so proud of us all!
I agree 💯
I’m so so proud of YOU🥺👏🏽 keep shining like the star that you are ⭐️

Love this video! You have a smart plan for your scheduling and taxes, you will continue to do great! Congrats 🎉
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!!
Great video breaking down the pay! Goodluck on your new grad journey!
Don’t ever be ashamed to brag about your accomplishments ! you earned it. Even though i’m not interested in being a nurse, so far I enjoy your video and I wish you best in your career! and for the ppl that want to be a nurse just do it! you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain
I appreciate your kind words 🙏🏽💕 thanks so so much!
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.
Sad truth, poor outcome for nurses and poor quality of care for patients.
Very true! I have a masters in nursing and I’m leaving the profession! It’s not worth it any more! There are so many opportunities that pay close if not more per hr than nursing… with out the mental and physical burn! Best wishes…
She is very young, so she's smart to take advantage of these differentials. Her perspective will change drastically if she gets married and has children.
Thank you for that. I just started nursing as a new grad and l feel like am being rushed to finish training so l can be on my own and pick up extra shifts that l don't want. 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.
Should I go straight into managed cAre I’m already in managed care field lol
That’s great that you were very transparent about the pay. People need to have an idea of what to expect.
Thank you ! I hope you found it helpful 😊
Thank you for the information ❤️I like knowing just because new grads lie about pay or dont want to say!
Thanks so much for sharing, I am a parent so weekend is when I get to spend quality time with the young children. Thanks for picking up the weekend shifts :)
Aww that’s so sweet, of course it’s my pleasure 🥹💘
Thank you for sharing this information with us, Darian! Congratulations on your new grad pay! 🎉 This is inspiring information. 🤗
You’re so kind, thanks sm🥰
Hi! I really enjoyed this video! Not just because of the helpful information you provided but your genuine personality! Your patients are lucky to be attended and cared by you! You should be very very proud to call yourself a nurse! Much love and take care always! ❤
OMG THANKS SO MUCH 🥹💗💗
Thanks for the honest info. I’m still a student in NY state and I’m excited to graduate and start. I been in the medical field as a medical assistant for 5 years so I’m ecstatic to be elevating in life as a soon to be RN.
I don’t blame you. 1 every other week is good. You don’t wana get burned out or feel like you’re always at work! Thanks for this!
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%.
watching this as my mid-schooling motivation. I need it.
Thank you for sharing, Darian!! so helpful
It makes me so happy to see people talking about this! My generation didn't and would stay in low paying jobs for the security. But in today's world the only way to get a true raise is to change.
I'm happy to see so many new nurses entering the field too!!! Thanks for the video and good luck in your career🥰
YESSS! I love this so much 🙏🏽💕 thank you !
Thank you for letting us know! There are not many videos about this subject!
Wow! Love my very first watch of yours!! Thanks for that info💕 Congratulations!🌸
Very informative video, thank you!
I am also on night shift, and as long as I can handle the schedule, night shift pay ain't too bad lol.
Girl I don’t even know you and I’M SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU AND ALL OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS! 🥹🫶 your videos are so educating and helpful! ❤️
Awww love this means soooo much to me💓 thank u🥹
Give anyone in the medical field props!!! I could not do that job not even for the pay . It takes a very special person to do that kind of job. I hope, that any nurse or student wanting to be a nurse ,treat your patients with the upmost respect and care . Good luck
I appreciate the love thank you🙏🏽
Thank youuu!! I really appreciate the transparency.
Thank you for being a real one. 💗
Thank you for sharing. My graduation is next month. I’m so excited
Nothing wrong with bragging. U earned it fully. Take a bow

Of course 💘 thanks sm! I’m glad you found it helpful

AHHHHH I LOVE U🥹💕✨✨ thanks sm
Wow thank you so much for sharing your pay information.
I’m also a new nurse and I can second this!
As a nursing student in AZ, THANK U!!!! ♥️
AWWW OF COURSE 🥲💖💖💖
Keep in mind that these shift differentials typically don't apply to the outpatient setting. Even if you work a weekend or a holiday (free standing urgent care).
Thank you for this video!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
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.
Yes and I agree 1000%. Picking up extra shifts is tough but it all depends on your goal like you said.🙏🏽 maybe after my vacation I’ll feel recharged again😂
Horrible, takes a full day off just to recover from a 12
Wow congratulations! I’m going to work weekends too for that pay girl! I don’t even need to go out at all! I’m staying put, prices be too high.
Hun, brag, share your accomplishments! You have put in the work to make that pay. No matter what your pay is, it’s not enough! All you have to do is save 1 life, and your pay will never be enough. I’m so glad you are the one that takes up the slack! God bless you
Oh my goodness you are the sweetest for saying all of those nice things🥹💖
Thanks so much for the love I really appreciate it🥲💟
The more you make, the more they take. You can ask payroll to put your bonus on a separate check. Some facilities will do this, so the tax hit isn't as heavy.
Thank you for this information 😊
Thanks for this vid!!
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.
Incentives, bonuses, and overtime pay 😊😊😊😊
So helpful! I save about $600 in taxes per paycheck by maxing out my employer's version of the 401k. Instead of taxes it goes into my retirement account (less taxable income).
Have you heard of Ms Anastasia
Can you explain this further?
401k is really only good for LOW income earners! You can use that money and put it towards other investments that will allow for returns that can be touched unlike a 401k for like 40 years!
@@davidcantor293 sorry I meant 457b* which can be withdrawn after I leave my employer with no penalty
Just make sure that you take care of yourself mentally and physically because at times working too many hours will hurt you in the long run.
Just becareful because there’s nothing only one you!!!!
nice informative video about new grad pay! although not all states are the same new grad pay, it is great to see the openness about the topic. on a side note of the differential pay, nights on weekends though >__< haha.
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 can’t focus past your hair… it looks GREAT!!
As a mom who makes 550 every 2 weeks this sounds amazing lol even after all the taxes taken out I’m going back to school this fall and can’t wait to push forward with my babies ❤️❤️❤️
Go you!!!!All the best in your studies.

The hospitals put the nurses in unsafe situations, and if you make a mistake, you get prosecuted. Way to go!
$36.50 is base pay here for new grads! Shift differentials for night, evening, day and weekends!
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.
Glad I’m a queen for being here as a male nurse
Thanks, good information
$3,173 gross per check is the number you care about here. Times 26 checks bi-weekly equals $82,498 annually in Arizona. Everything else like overtime, bonus, incentives is variable and not guaranteed.
Nice video and informative👌
So helpful thanks ☺️
The only thing i dont like about some of these videos is people don't always specify whether they are RN's or LPN's because theres a huge difference in pay and education to get there.
You should be paid double!! God bless you!!
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
Hi! Ty for the info! Talking about the high tax percent and 401k deduction, when did you choose the percentages you wanted to pull out? (While signing the contract to be employed, after being employed, wayyyyy after being employed, etc?)
Thank you so much sharing. We really need to know how to earn and real figures. Thank you
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.
Awesome video and taxes are too much and a pain 😒
Girl I don’t pick up extra either. I did once and it was the worst day EVER so I said never again! Lol.
Way more than me!! Lol you deserve it!!!
Great video.
I thought nursing paid a lot more. I think it should since your helping save lives!
Thank you so much for being transparent about your pay!! Girl soo appreciated, if you get medical insurance through the hospital you work at, could you do a video on it?
Of course ! But I currently do not get medical insurance through my hospital only because I am taking full advantage of being on my mom‘s plan until I turn 26😂🙏🏽 No extra costs here until it’s absolutely necessary😂😂🙌🏽
@@DarianHeaven girl I feel it I’m the same way 😂 but 26 is getting closer for me so was tryna get an idea what that’s like n how much it costs, etc. so I can plan but thank you!!
Oh my gosh that makes two of us😂😭 If I get more info about numbers I’ll define ugly let you know 🙏🏽
oh my god thank you so much
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!
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!
Thank you so much for sharing this! 1. I am new to your channel - what state do you live in? 2. Girl, you're gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing, Darian! This is truly an inspiring 🤍
I’ve been a nurse for 12 years, have my CCRN, CSC, TNCC, ECMO trained, Total artificial heart specialized, IABP, CRRT, LVAD,HVAD, and impella trained and I made 39.17. Just took a remote triage nursing job and went down to 37 and hour lol

Pay depends on the state
You’ve got ripped off even with the $39.17.
Considering the remote job too...good for you

hey so are you gonna stay in postpartum or will you move to L and D since that's what you said before what you wanted
I have a question so do you get paid while being a nursing student or is it just school without getting paid
I hope I can pass NCLEX I Don't haves a job,I am 36 years old all my dreams related to NCLEX,if I can choose between my life and NCLEX I would choose NCLEX
I've always believed NCLEX is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass
So sorry about that am still looking forward too take my NCLEX exam on April just studying hard and praying to God I know I can make it.
NCLEX exam is so difficult & I don't know the reason why it should be?
After, 3-4 years of studying we are being challenged be the ultimate exam "NCLEX" many students face difficulties in acquiring their license
I failed my NCLEX exam 2 times first was 2020 second was 2021 and I lost money on review questions and also wasted a lot of time studying which never helped me .
They also take so much taxes here in Virginia, it's so crazy.
Yes they do!!!

Serious question. You mentioned paying tax and putting towards your 401k, so you don’t pay medical/dental/vision?
