Thanks Katherine!
Thanks
We may need to at Travel nursing in here now too! 🤷♀️
@@Katherine_Ann Yep agreed! travel nurses top the list right now.
Thanks to the both of you.
Can I be a Nurse Manager if I am LPN that has a Bachelors and Master’s in Healthcare Administration?
To get into the anesthesia program, you have to work in ICU for 1-2 yrs. Then Another 4 extensive training once you get accepted to the program. I would do travel nursing now and save as much and pay for school in cash. Goodluck young nurses!
CRNA programs are 3 years, not 4
CRNA rates are only going up. During Covid most places realized paying a general anesthesiologist $500k was crazy when CRNA’s can legally do all the same functions. CRNA’s will be making near $300k within the next 5 years. My wife just got into CRNA school 😊
Wow, good for her! Hopefully that pays off!
@R I am the MD 😂
What is crna
@@zalezluciano2899 It's a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist :)
Shhhhhh dont tell people about this career! lol Just found out about it from a CRNA, I switched from PA to BSN and am going for the CRNA program after.
This is great info. You described how to go about obtaining these credentials and the salary details without implementing a whole bunch of useless info wasting time. Loved It
Thanks so much for watching and your feedback!
Nursing educator is where it's at. I made 140k (socal) after taxes teaching psych clinicals. Once I started making that money I had 0 interest in getting my crna/np/pa etc. Never got the run around dealing with pts/family or upper management breathing down my neck. I am my own boss. I just watch tiktok and then teach around an assignment towards post conference and that's it!
Wow! Not a bad gig! Thanks for sharing!
What degree you need to have for become nurse educator?
Kindly request you to answer my question!
Goals 🙌
@@anushree324 I am also a nurse educator, well I’m adjunct, I am a cath lab nurse as my FT job. You need to have one degree above what you are teaching. I have MSN and teach BSN, if you have BSN you can teach ADN. And if you are watching TikTok’s, you are not teaching your students and thereby not doing any of their future co-workers any favors
@@tellmeofyourhomeworldusul6060 thank you so much for your valuable guidance!
I'm starting RN school this August and I've been really disillusioned and frustrated by my cna experience in LTC. Watching this to shift my thinking to future choices!
So happy to hear that! You'll find different types of nurses all over, happy this gave you a better outlook 😊
@@Katherine_Ann
Pharmacist vs nurses who earn more plz suggest me
@@positivevibes8752 Why that interest you. Question is “where am I GONNA BE HAPPY”. Thats what you should be questioning
Thank you for your honest comment, makes a difference, because you say the truth about what’s going on with the job market in nursing.
Hey @nursekatherine could you update this video to apply for end of 2021 rates since the pandemic and so many people leaving nursing/shit employers? That'd be awesome! Hope you're doing well, thanks for the videos!
Great idea! I'll have to do that!
Vallejo, CA you said it correctly.
LPN bridging to RN next year, then on to F-ENP (Emergency NP) ❤️👋🏽
I've had nurse managers with no bed side experience in 10+ years lol
Nurse Practitioners in alabama over saturated so their wage isn't that much
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
this is so amazing thanks for sharing. i'm only a pre-nursing student right now so becoming an RN is my goal. but it's cool to know i can go further in the future. i never knew you could do so much with a nursing degree.
@aaronbenson4234 so far very well! i'm halfway through nursing school now!
@aaronbenson4234 good luck!!
@aaronbenson4234I did the same thing! I am in a accelerated nursing program
I am also half way done, hardest year is over ❤❤
I just graduated in May with my associates and passed Boards in June. I’ve been looking into becoming a nurse educator. This was helpful. I will be working on that over the next 5 years
Very nice, Keneisha!
Thank you so much mam 🙌
I wonder where travel nursing ranks in salary in comparison to those jobs. Also, I read that in order to apply to CRNA school you need at least 1 year of experience in critical care. I think 2 years is preferred though.
Great point Alexandra! I can say for travel nursing it depends what area you work and what type of assignment you take. If I worked all year doing my current travel contract I would bring in just over $200,000 this year. The problem with travel is having to constantly find your next job which isn't guaranteed of course. I'll have to look into that for CRNA school!
Great insights, really thinking about nursing school
Thanks for watching, it's a great career path!
@@Katherine_Ann fasho❤️
So nice to be able to start a new career .. I'm interested to help others and care for the ones in need
After being a nurse for 9 years, I have arrived at one truth. If you are doing this for the money and not because you actually care about the patients, nursing is not the profession for you.
Thanks for your thoughts, Winston. I would agree that no one should become a nurse if they just want to make a lot of money and I would argue that most people do not become nurses for that reason. With that being said, I believe that money is still important as nurses provide a service through a specific skillset that they dedicated a portion of their life to hone.
Economics matter with inflation and real estate prices soaring and hope for families and their healthy outcomes truly matter. There are many fields in nursing for all types.
Haha!
Bla bla bla
Lol I dont want a nurse who worried of her unpaid bills to take care of me. Nurses deserve high paid
Awesome information! I’ve heard of RN case managers making 200K - 300K per year in California. Pursue what you’re most passionate about, and you’ll be okay.
In Wisconsin case managers are the lowest paid nurses along with outpatient clinic nurses. Love your channel!! Usually in the high $20's/hr
Still low
It's one of those things you play the hand you're dealt and just work to what you want
Not true
I’m a nurse currently working in a psychiatric hospital in a forensics unit. You don’t need a bachelors and I make more than some of these jobs, likewise when I worked in jails. You don’t need a BSN to be a corrections nurse either.
Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing, this is great info 😊
Are you technically a registered nurse with your associates? Forensic unit sounds awesome.
@@tammybenadventures4839 yes after the nursing associates degree you sit for NCLEX therefore becoming a RN
Nice! May I ask what your position is and generally what you do?
Corrections Nurses make big money!
GREAT video! (Mid - Whiffery)
I'm going to start my education for a rn program, but should I go right for a bsn degree. Or should I just go for the rn and try to have a hospital pay for my future bsn degree
CRNA is not just a nursing degree. It’s a doctorate degree on top of your RN plus 3 years and 100 k to 200k in tuition. The same with midwifery and NP… so no you can not earn those income just with your RN. The good news is with investment of time, money and energy you can earn degree to give you the potential to earn such incomes.
You're right, Layla. They are all quite an investment, but it can pay off in the long run.
I'm a PMHNP making 300K plus in private practice, working less than a full-time job. :) So yeah. It's great. It is a demanding job when I am working, but the work-life balance is amazingly better than anything I have ever done in any nursing job in 20-plus years.
Wow, that's amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Where are you located? How much school? It’s hard to find direct info! Do you have to work under a doctor for private practice?
This is peanuts… it’s a shame … so underpaid…
Watsonville and Santa Cruz is not a metropolitan area. A MSN is not required to be a nurse manager in most healthcare organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. The average salary is starting around $190K annually.
As a nurse in the Bay Area, BSN, Cath Angio. Nurses make a wide range of income in my department. Average is $220,000/yr I have some friends who really hustle and make $440,000. Bay Area nurses are the highest paid nurses in the country. I believe new grade nurses are earning $60/hr…
@@jeremymontemayor 65 -80 in the bay/Sacramento UC's pay the most!!
OMG amazing 😍🤩 looking forward to California nursing jobs
Hi! I'm a plus size lady thinking of getting scrubs as lounge wear, and I found your channel searching for scrubs try ons. I tuck everything in and haven't seen many people wear scrubs that way. Sadly I don't have your gorgeous figure, but you look so cute with scrubs tucked, and untucked, I just made up my mind to go get a set! :)
Which brand did you go with?!:)
@@Katherine_Ann I haven't yet. There is a uniform shop near my house, and if I can go there with the pandemic I was going to get the brand they carry. if not I may order the brand in your video. I'm old fashioned (LOL!) and want the old school powder blue with the 1 pocket on the left breast. Although, i don't remember if it was youy, but I saw a video where the lady had a top with the 3 pockets at the bottom, and she tucked it in anyway.I never considered that as I thought it would be too bulky, but I thought it was a cute idea as she still could reach in the pockets with it tucked, so I'm considering it. I have told my story on many plus sized channels, but after well meaning but misguided parents body shamed me, I was scared to wear anything but shapeless tops 2 sizes too big. I discovered plus size try ons, tucked in a blouse that mostly fit which I was forced to wear at work, and the compliments poured in from everyone who never saw me in the office tucked in, (I would pull my blouses out so fast once out of the door so fast, heads spun!) including from my Parents! Now even if I leave a top out at the urging of friends, it usually gets tucked in my firsdt trip to the ladies room. So I can't see me wearing untucked scrubs, pockets or no.
@@mariskacandice890 I enjoy uniform shops as well :) All scrub companies fit a bit differently so it is a great idea to go try on scrubs instead... of course if they allow you to!
I have tucked in scrubs with pockets before, not sure if I did it on the video but it definitely works too!
Simulation pays! Also really glad my wife is a CRNA. 😂 Great video! #SimTribe
thank you katty
Yay, Missouri Nurses!!!!
Step 1: move to California 🤣
hard pass !!
lmao!! true if u can live modestly and have ur MSN degree you could live extremely well
@@summers1604
Facts
I laughed HYSTERICALLY! 🤣🤣🤣
My step mom got her ADN here in Ohio at Mercy College of Ohio them got an offer to work ICU out in California. She makes almost as much as some primary care Physicians I know. But the cost of living in Cali offsets her pay by quite a bit. She lives very comfortable though and can afford a little bit of luxury. I'm considering taking a break from my Public Health degree to get my ADN from the same program she did. My step sister is getting her BSN at the same school as well!
Nice video and informative👍
Hi mam, I am glad to watch your beautiful video and interested me🙏
Dear Mam, I am an Diploma in Nursing&midwifery graduated from india. Having experiences more than 4 years in a hospital in different wards. Moreover, recently working at singapore👌Mam, Now i intend to work at USA as an nurse job? Pls guide and suggest me? Waiting your sweet reply🙏
Thank you for watching!
Mam, Thank you for your feed back🙏
Info was relevant and u r so cute 😀
Wages in So California are lower than in Northern California. Please check the numbers! Staff Nurse NICU, night shift with 17 years experience 148K (Sacramento).
Wow, that's solid!
All of these jobs require at least a masters not just an RN. That is a lot of time, hardwork and money.
You're absolutely right. Those are all things to consider, but if you can manage that, they obviously can pay off!
Ma'am the salary only for Govt or include with the privacy
Do you mind doing a video with just BSN?
Absolutely I can!
@@Katherine_Ann thank you so much for the quick response ❤️
There aren't enough NP jobs for all the NP students. Everyone and their mother and their mother's dog is becoming an NP these days.
Yep! Miami is oversaturated with NP's. Everyone is shying away from the bed side.
How does a nurse virtual career fair work? Do you have sum tips for this. I’ve never even been to a physical career fair.
Hi there! I personally have never attended one, nor heard of this before! I have been to a physical career fair and brought my resume with me and dressed professionally. I also thought of questions to ask ahead of time. Bring questions just as you would to a job interview and dress professionally as well :) Hope that helps!
The doctorate isn’t needed for the CRNA, I’m currently applying. I live in Texas . This was great information as well !!!
Thank you for watching!
It will be as of 2025
Do CAAs generaly get paid the same as CRNAs? Or does it depend on the practice/state you are in?
Hi Red! I would imagine that is dependent state to state. When I lived in Pennsylvania, CAA were not even a job to be had, but here in Georgia that is a job.
I’m an OR RN and make 121k a year not including differential. I’m currently getting MSN in Informatics . And believe me just to start its 145-155k in my area.
That's great!
Just wondering, what state are you in?
Where are you working for that pay?
I've heard that it's difficult to find a job in informatics. Do you have one lined up or are you seeing job openings?
Same! I am an OR nurse as well pursuing the same degree. I don't plan on using it right away. I plan on getting some side jobs to build a portfolio and gain experience in NI before I try to get hired. The money in the O.R. isn't bad though
Lol being from Missouri, that part made me lol 😂
Thanks for watching!
Don't forget the bridge programs! I have a masters in another field and am pursuing my RN to transfer into another masters, RN will only take 1.5 years and I can transfer undergrad and grad classes, only about 3 years total.
Wow, very cool!
Hi nurse Catherine I have a Bachelors in business administration & LPN. What route would you recommend?
LPN to RN comes to mind right away but I guess the real question would be what do you want to do? Work business, work nursing, or a mix of both, or maybe even become an entrepreneur!?
@@Katherine_Ann mix of both
@@Katherine_Ann And I'm not really into entrepreneurship immediately at the moment
Thank you Katherines husband! lol :-D
If im going back to school, CRNA is the way to go.
As a CRNA in LA I make 331k A year.
Wow! That's great! I hope you're able to make it go far out there in LA!
@@Katherine_Ann I'm Contracted 8 months of the year to them, so I have 4 months off to go back home to Texas. They pay my housing and Utilities While I'm there. So it goes pretty far LOL
Holy shit.
Are you with travel agency? Do they match 401k? Are you 1099 or W2?
I am from the California Motherlode/Sierra's- can confirm it's aa real place! Haha-pretty cool :) they also offer lots of loan forgiveness in that area as well!
Very cool! Thanks for watching and the comment, Tanner!
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Hi Katherine and all
I am a registered nurse in Ghana with BSN wanting to further my nursing education in US and sit for the NCLEX. Should I apply for the BSN pre licensure program or you have a suitable program for me?
Bridget Bema, enroll with a recruiting Agency, get a job in the US...of course you must pass the NCLEX...enroll for your masters within the first 2 months of your arrival to US. That way, you study and earn
Definitely not making near that in Alabama as a Crna
😫😫😫
I'm surprised RNFA isn't part of the top 5 top paying nursing jobs.
For some reason all the times I've been put under I honestly do not think half of the ppl in the room had even graduated yet
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I was born in Fairfield. Also Vallejo is pronounced Va-Lay-O or for the fancy folks Va-Lay-Ho. Thanks for the info as well and cudos to your hubby for getting us the info.
Try vayaho!,
There paying LVN sin CA $70 / hr to work in state prisons! I’m an lvn going for my BSN!
Wow! That's wild!
She said CNA. Wow!
It all depends on what organization you work for
That's a big part!
can i still become CRNA if i finish all my master's and doctorate degree in other countries like australia?
Hi Catriona, that's a great question. I'm not 100% sure about that. Make sure to do your research on that!
Suprised that NPs earn more than CNM
Random Question: How does a nurse apply to a speciality? I’m not in nursing school yet, but is it apart of the schooling? How do we match with a program( example if you want to do med surge/ or peds etc.)
Hi there! You just apply to that job posting! Thats it!:) it's quite simple actually!
starting nurseing school this fall due to injuries I cant Weld anymore
Awh wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you do well in this new field!
@@Katherine_Ann to be honest wanted to be a nurse to start with just grew up welding and fighting lol
CRNAs are making 0ver 300k as new grads in CA right now.
Wow! Insane!
Hi the income which u had tell in this video ,is on monthly basis or yearly ?
It's a yearly basis!
@@Katherine_Ann thanks mam

I live in Missouri.
what is the best way to prepare for NCLEX?
Thanks for the question! You should check out OverLearRN Test Prep on CZcams and Etsy for some helpful resources :)
I'm curious as to how continuing education is being financed.
Good question - as in how are employees or employers paying for it?
What about Psych wards?
Here the local ward pays well
Does MSN degree in the philippines, credited in the america maam?.
That I am not sure!
Cali nurse make bank . Cost of living is high but im an lvn making 6 figures doing contracts/ travel/ agency n stuff similar… n the RN make like 100k in 6 months so yeah. Travel/ assignment nurses. U can travel nurse to Cali n go bs k to ur state for the low cost of living but the Cali pay
Thanks for your comment Grace!
You are very beautiful, thank you for this upload 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching!
Don’t do it for the money. You will hate it. Even if you somewhat can tolerate it, it still sucks. Getting worse by the day. When I started there was no such thing as meth. Now 4-5 out of my six patients can be meth related patients, it makes what I do seem so pointless. Beyond depressing.
Wow, that's wild! What part of the country are you in?
"With a nursing degree" you say that as if we shouldn't be earning that much. Yes we should. All nurses deserve to be making 6 figures.
Hey, thanks for your comment! I agree with you, I do think all nurses should make that much. Unfortunately that's not the norm if you're looking at the statistics.
@@Katherine_Ann No, of course not. In some parts of the country you need to work two jobs AND have a partner to share expenses with if you want anything resembling the American dream. For the amount of schooling and stress and risk that this job comes with, we are not doing for our nurses what they've done for us. So much for being heroes. This country craps on its heroes.
Was anyone surprised pharmacology nursing not on this list.?
there’s no such thing.
Shocking to hear Vallejo is highest paying for np. Homes are real cheap over there
Win win!
👍
Thanks I hv a nursing license and I hv an advance diploma in anaesthesia.
Wow, very nice!

Hello I am new at all this.
I am a 43 year old woman and I have a different background totally different..
I need a change. I new beginning..
Now I am interested in getting my certification in nursing or phlebotomy certification need help deciding. Please help me I need guidance 🙏
Hey Erica, thanks for watching and for your comment! Are you considering becoming a RN or LPN? Either way, it's quite a bit more schooling than getting a phlebotomy certification. A lot of the nursing careers mentioned in this video require more schooling than just your RN or BSN. Long term, I don't think you can go wrong with pursuing nursing over phlebotomy as you'll earn a lot more, but it all depends on what you want to do and your current situation. As always, I'd recommend doing your own research. I hope that's helpful!
Is health science same as nursing major?
No. Health science is a branch of Public health. Not an RN role
@@Internetlo thank you😇
I want to be midwife nurse in California awesome 😎🆒
These are the truths universally acknowledged. I learned nothing knew from this video. To be different, you could have researched Cardiac Perfusion, RN First Assist to really appeal to those researching educational opportunities.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hai Katherine am from Africa Zambia am a trained nurse anaesthetist,how can I apply for a job ad what's the requirements.
Hi! Thanks for your comment! That all depends on where you're looking. You would have to obtain a nursing license to work in America. There are companies and programs that look specifically for foreign educated nurses, I would look into one of them!
Nursing is not just money!!! ....but sadly money is a factor for it nowadays.....
Hey Jane, I agree! Nursing is definitely not all about money, if it was, I'd pursue being a CRNA. Money is important and I think it's necessary for us to realize our worth or what the potential for us as healthcare providers can be.
Crna is not all about the money either they get paid a lot because the schooling is hard and competitive to get into.
Does RN can become nurse educator ?
An RN can become a nurse educator. There is a nurse educator degree you can get which is a masters program
You vastly undersold whats involved in attaining the ability to practice in any of those. And those are all advance degrees
Thanks for your feedback Ethan!
Honestly referencing California is completely pointless. The cost of living and tax rate makes it a silly data point that should not be included in any analytics. Also CRNA isn't really just a "nursing degree". Yes its a nursing degree in name but in practice you put in another 4 years for it. That's alot of time and investment on top of the bachelors. Plus not it's even more since they require a DNP first before you can even apply to CRNA school. That's an additional 8 years. Funny thing is that this change was put into place by the nurse governing bodies. It's not even push back from MDs or other special interest. It's OUR OWN Freaking people giving us the middle finger.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
CRNA takes so long you mine as well just go to medical school and become an anesthesiologist
Don't become a nurse unless you like being treated like garbage and paid just enough to force you to stay in nursing.
May have been a better job when humans took better care of themselves. Not worth it now.
Can u get BSN online
Hi Jessica, you can get your BSN online if you already have your RN!
Robin Upton will get Dave ghrols autograph and a quick "video hello
Made it Doctorial to keep the undesirables out 😢
Nurses here in California are like that rich compared to nurses in other states who r just average living. I met a RN who lives in SF bay who drives a Lamborghini. I'm an RN here in California and my hourly rate is $118/hr. Even those taxes here r the highest and cost of living here is the highest. Your pay as an RN overweighs it.
Wow, that's impressive! Yeah, when you consider taxes and cost of living it makes sense that you would make that much.
@@Katherine_Ann ya there is a lot of myths and misconception about cost of living and RN pay that people r not getting or understanding. RNs here believe it or not some are making around 300-600k. U can youtube nurses to ritches. I work with them. One of my friends here showed me his paycheck of 12k. Some makes 20k on one paycheck.
just can say Pretty Lovely but can't wait
But the s nothing in cali
Nclex test is really frustrating, i can't believe I failed again after studying so hard

I saw someone say she could be a scammer i couldn't stop laughing, really people say a lot of shit these days

I've heard a lot of good stories about this same woman all over CZcams channels can she really help
It's my first time I'm scared, I don't wanna fail
Cost of living is very high in California. Not a job you do for the money. If you do not have a family or kids and live alone and in a lower income area you might be ok.
Crnas are making more than Drs!.?
Depends on the kind of MD I suppose!
