- Welcome back Sweeties, This video was inspired by a TikTok I made regarding my first nursing paycheck. I also wanted to reiterate that it's okay to start low if you have to. It sure does get better with time! Thank you for watching this video of how much I make as a new grad registered Nurse.

I appreciate everyone's concern. However, I will like to add that I am a BSN graduate from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Also, I am a USA citizen, and I currently reside in Dallas TX
Texas really sucks in terms of pay and staffing
I'm in Dallas too for nursing I'm changing my major
Congratulations, Sugar, on your new job! May God continue to bless you!
Thanks love ❤️❤️
@@MyLifeasSugar You're welcome, Sis!❤❤
Your skin is flawless sis. Great video!!
Oh you took a big risk sharing this info sis Thank u (all folks like to beg) ! I’m in nursing school now this is some real tea!!! Hunni
hahaha, You are so welcome
I absolutely love your videos. I’m currently in the Navy as well while being in nursing school.
Girl you deserve more! I'm a new grad in Houston and I'm making $34/hr rn
Hey, I found you on tiktok as a nursing student. I graduated and passed my licensing exam and even got my first job with your help through that interview video you posted. I really thank you!!
Please post a video about overcoming the lack of confidence as a new grad nurse, please please…
I'm so glad!
What video about passing the nursing exam? Is it still available to watch?
Nice 👌.. I like the way you spill out the breakdowns of earnings
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this! I am sitting here trying to decide what unit to apply to for residency. I am precepting in the ED and love the pace I just don't want to get stuck on a unit I hate!
you are welcome
It heavily depends on where you're working & the type of hospital. I've worked in hospitals in so called great areas and the nurses made 20 something an hour. Went to a hospital in the hood that was considered highly undesirable & the nurses and doctors made that bag! There were plenty if nurses in the psych unit earning 50+ an hour easy. That's not including shift differentials and/or charge nurse differentials.
woow, just woow
22.50 is low sis don’t let them do you like that please!!
Ikr 😓
Way too low 😳
okkkkk the liesssss here in Atlanta they making 62500 starting..WTH wrong with Texas?//
@@ateeb77able sis, ain’t telling no lies! That’s the FACT!
@@mrsbrathwaite83 I know right!
Nice info, thanks for your service to humanity 👍
My pleasure
I feel you on your "whats app blowing up" part😂. If you know know. lol
Right!! 😂
Preach sister. You are 100% right.
I think it really depends on your location! I know new grads do start off lower for sure. I make $28 as an LPN and I am in BSN school and I will not accept anything less than $32 because there is no way I am taking a pay cut!! Gotta pay off those loans.
Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉 🎉🎊🎈
Great video as always 👍🏾👏🏾🤗
Thanks love
Alaska pays pretty good. As a new grad I started at $40/hr + $4 night differential and some make more then that! Girl I’m used to being broke so now I’m officially a shopaholic.😂🛍💰
i love that!!!!!!!! Spoil yourself, you deserve everything and more
Alaska Sis how is the winter?
@@IAMJEWEL7 Horrible but the money is so comfy! Lol After 23 years , I’m ready to move though. Let me get ready for $22.50😂
I want to visit Alaska so bad (even though I HATE cold weather lol)...how do you like living there, outside of the good pay that you’re receiving? Lol
@@kw6724 it’s cool. Just like many places, it’s all about what you make of it. If you go home and go to work, you’ll be bored here and anywhere🥰
I work for a staffing company for nurses and we pay our RN between $1300-$3000 a week. You should look into being a travel nurse.
Should do travel nursing. I’m paid $115/hr and my contract currently is around $82,000 for 13 weeks of work since it’s 48 hours per week with overtime being over $160/hr
Where did you go to school?
Woooooow
Which agency hun
Wow!
Thanks, this is very helpful. From these comments,I think I will move to Houston. Nigerians don't share such information, lol.
Congratulations
I love u aburo....am also a Nigerian wife mother and your sister here in the Uk... Am a lecturer. Congratulations. Am here to support you.
Thank you so much ma and welcome
Tiktok brought me here , thank you for your channel
Yaaay! Welcome to the family
Okay am here early today😄😊😋
I see !!!! Yaaaay 💃🏿
Location, location, location. Some states are playing RNs.
i know, its so sad
Yeah because my friends are new grads and they make 50 dollars an hour but we are from jersey/ New York
Thanks for being honest.
$22:50 is very very low. As a new international nurse I was paid $37/hr with $3.90 as night shift differential in Virginia.
Right now I cannot accept any pay less than $70/hr
Wow! Which area is Virginia please? I'm in Norfolk
It is super low . I wonder what country she lives in
Was it thru an agency or direct hire
you wonder what country i live in??? I guess the only country that uses US dollar bill
@@MyLifeasSugar yes I thought you were just translating the price for your american audience. Please forgive me
Congrats!
Got 2 more months to get done with with ma BSN
Gosh!am excited am stna payed 9.50- now
I can’t imagine that income bump😊😊!
No more brokenness-atleast ma kids won’t witness my card declining anymore😢😢!
Awwww, congrats
I have been having a lot of discussions with my classmates concerning the pay issues lately. I'll be graduating in August and I can't beleive someone's would want to pay me $24/hr with all the stress in nursing school. I have been thinking about moving to Texas when I'm done but I can't live with that low pay.
its ridiculous... we deserve so much more
Its kind of like every job tho. Like Doctors are also underpaid but they have even more schooling etc.
Hi Sugar. This Rofiat from feggo, I am one of ur low key followers. I just graduated december from nursing sch about to take my nclex soon . Hearing the amt they pay is kinda discouraging though cos here in Cleveland, the lowest amount paid to new grad is $27 ...Cleveland clinic is paying $27.50 and dats the hospital that even pay the lowest here as far as am concerned and others are paying like $30+
hey love how are you?
People say the only way to make real bank in nursing is through travel nursing 😭
Congratulations on your new job
Thanks sis
You welcome sis❤️
guuuuuurl...here in WA state new grads usually make $32 starting in hospitals and we’re already complaining about that! I get $33.90! New subscriber! good luck!
U guys making more than a Florida nurse
thank you 🙏
here in texas too
@@Beyondme7700 I think nurses in florida are not unionized right? Here in WA it's required (mostly). It helps with the salary. I think by the end of this year when the contract ends they're looking to increase pay again.
@@Beyondme7700 the cost of living is higher.
I would highly recommend trying to get a job at at a unionized hospital where the nurses union bargains for fair pay
WHAT!!!! You are worth so much more! I am an LVN and make $30!
Hello guys ! I’m a Nurse resident working a Ben taub making $34 dollars an hour on day shift
Your video 💯💯💯. I wanted to move to Texas too but when a recruiter told me how much is make hourly , I felt embarrassed. Like no thank you. I told the recruiter keep your job lol
That’s LPN low and I was complaining about $25/hr $2 night/weekend differential I left after four months and became a PRN RN with agencies, best choice I ever made...less stress, MORE money....work smarter not harder! Sis you killed me when you bust out with the calculator 🤣😭😭😭😭 like hold up wait.....🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is exactly what I'm going to do. PRN my entire life...maybe🥴
Lpn low, honey I make way more working in a ALF making 25 hr and agency 28 hr and yes I’m a Lpn new grad in school for my BSN
Hey guys it’s sugar again 💃🏽💃🏽
I know, tell them ❤️❤️
Does anybody have the idea which hospital is she working right now? I will graduate this coming May 2021. I happened to watch her video today. I was intrigued as I agree that we have to normalize talking about money. I have a huge private student loan to pay after graduation. I am in Oklahoma and I am willing to move to Dallas. Pls. any advise is appreciated. Thank you all.
My advise would be to apply to multiple jobs and compare all they have to offer
My first job and I'm making 83k in NYC. Not the highest, I have classmates making 90 at other hospitals.
woow
Mann I wanted to move to Texas 😩😩 Chile they were not calling me back but I’m glad you found a unit you like and your getting PAID!
thanks sis
Ditto on not getting call back from Texas until I ended up connecting with a recruiter. She connected me to smaller town in Texas. The downside is the pay. So if you're still interested in Texas, you might want to consider a smaller town.
where do you live? Trauma level 1 is the highest level of care in the US, the pay for STICU nurse it all depends on your location city or state trauma level, and if you've had experience in the medical field....
Okay, thx for the correction
Girlll. You’re being played! I’m currently applying for residencies (BSN). Harris Health is offering their residents $30 baseline (not taking into consideration of differentials). I suggest finding a hospital around Houston! You definitely deserve more!
I did mention ben rain in the video, I got offered that as well.
In canada at public hospitals LPN can start at 25$ I can’t believe y’all are paid this with a bachelor!!
Truth!!!!
New York pays 45 dollars an starting pay for new grads. 47 an hr for night differential for new grads.
Should I pack my bags?? 😂😂
@@MyLifeasSugar eh new York has its issues.. if you want to be worked to death like a factory worker 🤣 and thats not even in Manhattan. In Manhattan starting pay is 50. During covid the governor was going to pay nurses 80 bucks an hr to help out. However even though the pay is high its not enough to pay bills. In new York its almost impossible to get a place here or make a living its TOO expensive
Yup location, California starting pay fresh out of nursing school 49/hr
Right along with that high California cost of living though.
Hello Sugar, thank you for this video, really useful. Please, do you have any idea how much Nurses in Kansas City make? I'm a UK nurse, however, considering relocating to US for a better pay of course 😉 😀. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
No idea love, however, i know for sure you going to make good amount of money regardless of where you relocate to.
Thanks dear for your response.
I am your Nigerian sister about to start the LPN program. Please, give me some tips that would help me to pass the nursing school.
See as you dey fine like dis....they should be dashing you money!
👍🏼😊
Please I want to ask do we need to do Masters after Our BSN I am a nursing school
You can practice with your BSN love and if you decide to advance your career you can do that as well
Hi. Thankyou for this info ... you are so beautiful... my only criticism is the subscribe sound is very distracting !!!
Thank you for letting me know, I will make adjustments for next videos
Still struggling with NCLEX🤦♀️... frustrating and don’t know how else or what to study for the test
I have a video on how to study for the NCLEX
Try uWorld
Did u pass yet?
I felt you on the whole your family blowing up your WhatsApp I’m Haitian 😂😂😂 they will blow you up!! I’m glad you turned them down cuz baby I had to move to a different state that 22-24 goodbye!! Y’all tried it I need to get paid and like you said most of us have loans
i know right!! its so not worth it
M a new subie🌹🎊
Welcome, glad you are here
How much are u making now?
This is discouraging. As an LVN I’ve made up to 50$ an hour. I’m currently in my BSN program to bridge to RN and I’m afraid to graduate and get paid less for more education. 😭
What state are you?
Lets keep up the good work to humanity
@mylifeassugar I’m in California
Yeah that’s super low! In also in California & I’m an LVN. Some new graduate RN students (without a license) are making $40 just swabbing noses at a Covid testing center.
But hey, I hope you have a great experience and move up! 💕
Jeezez I am appalled!!
Grad nurses in my province of Canada get a starting wage of $35.53
its sickening over here
Is this pay for RNs or BSN graduates?
Yes
You can get travel positions in CA making $60-$90 hour
The cost of living there is high though.
Ooooo girl you must live in Texas because out here in California nurses get good pay
California living is more expensive
Doesn’t matter because all their pay goes into the high living costs.
That pay is not right heck no. I will be done with my program in December guess I will not be moving to Texas for that pay rate!!
Lol, the standard of living in Texas isn’t too high. And that equally affects one’s pay as well
@@MyLifeasSugar yes true I’ve have visited reminds me of people in LA cali but a lil behind wearing all the Gucci they own 😆
Go ahead girl, talk about your salary! We need to share so we all know when we're being ripped off, lol. BTW, come to California and you will be making 5 times that amount.
I’m thinking about it, I swear to God! Lol
Cost of living is way cheaper in Texas, tho.
California has a really high cost of living though.
@@olawunmivera-cruz4879 it definitely does but when you take into account that nurses easily make 200k/yr (with no overtime) then they are still able to do much more with their money than nurses in Texas.
Hi dear, I just discovered your channel today, pls can you talk about how a nurse or midwife in Nigeria can come to America to work. Like does she have to take other courses or what pls shed more light
Hello, I’m not so sure. I went to university here in the states.
As far as I know you probably will have to take courses in America and get American certifications, but you should still bring all your Nigerian certifications in case they help with the level you can begin at.
@@crystaleniola thank you for your contribution
Whattttttt as a new lpn in TN I started at $24.50 now I’m an RN for 6 months and I make $37 at a dialysis clinic. Bedside nursing is hard enough but 22.50 😱 no Ma’am I will be unemployed.
Was dialysis your first nursing job? Everyone says get medsurge experience first. What do you say?
@@taneshiao9337 No I’ve worked at the ER as a LPN at my local hospital and I’ve seen med surg first hand and most of the nurses were miserable. Being a mom of 3 I need a set schedule and no weekend and to be honest I don’t like bedside nursing specially med surg ( 12 hrs shifts, hospitals politics and cranky family members) Most of my classmates went to med-surg but I looked for a job for 5 months before getting this position. I was burned out and stress at the ER now I eat dinner every nights with my children. I’m grateful nursing has different specialties.
@@taneshiao9337 they say med surg 1st because if u can handle med surg thrn you'll be ok in other areas...it makes u well rounded so to speak.
😂🤣😭😭😭 hilarious
@estrella Brown where in Tennessee? I’m in the Nashville area and I’m starting nursing school in a couple of weeks.
Where do you live RN make money about 45 hr. In NYC and NJ
Texas
Is $45/hr enough to live in NYC?
@@meeka59 no
What is the nurse to patient ratio?
it varies
Doubled my take home pay as a new grad in 6 months! U gotta be willing to work and work the system. Healthcare is a business and u gotta be about your money. Whoever wants to argue about this can waste their time.
lol
Have any tips?
This will depend on where u work. My hospital offers bonus $300 per additional shifts picked up. So this plus the overtime pay, plus night and weekend differentials equals double take home pay at the same hospital. I will do overtime when the pay is right.
LVN 1 year experience make 85,000 base pay in California
Nursing school is not just expensive the extensive care these patients need and the care they need u get home without life 😩 it takes a TOLL on you ! Unacceptable!
No less than 28 for me in NC with one year experience. Nursing is so stressful
What city are you in?
@@octaviat.2093 Charlotte NC
very tiring
@@Dexters.LaBOREatory thank you! I graduate nursing school in December looking into specilties
@@Dexters.LaBOREatory Hi, I am in NC also. So places like Davita pay $40/hr?
Girllll that's chump change lol
HahAhaha
Florida doesn't pay nurses good either
I enjoyed it. But u didn’t mention your name.
Sugar
Reading the comments on this video make me sad😂. At my hospital in Alabama we start at $23, there is no negotiating that we can do😅, unless your night shift or something like that
Alabama is different though bc of cost of living...in LA min wage is $15...so working ICU for $20s seems crazy...but again it's relative to what cost of living is
Yes I know that...... I just find it funny to see people complain about $20 cause like you said in Alabama $20 is very normal.
What people aren't saying is that the states that pay double the cost of living is probably triple. What she makes is probably good for where she lives. Same with you. People from Nyc and Cali making double but it will equal the same due to cost of living. Nurses won't make what doctors make but its not the worse pay either.
Imagine how cnas/pcts feel. I make $11.50 😩
I feel you. I told my husband I'm not going to work during the pandemic. Cuz I'm not risking my life for a $12 job.
@@linawil793 be a pool cna usually pay 18-25 per hour
its so sad. we deserve better
I get pay $24.84 as a cna in NYC.
You can go work as a receptionist with less stress & responsibilities for 11.50. I'd get another job, work evenings or nights somewhere & go get your LPN or RN, BSN.
Damn I make more as a new Lpn grad in Florida
For new grad RNs the pay in FL isn't that much higher than what she's making. Maybe like a few dollars more unfortunately 😩
No wonder cost of living is lower in tx that’s why the salary is 23hr
It depends on your specialty, years of experience, and where you are located. Med/Surg nurses don't make as much as L&D nurses. Small town hospitals don't pay as well as large cities.
What does L&D stand for?

I can relate😂
Sis sorry for how your WhatsApp looks right now. You’ve said too much. It was helpful though thanks.

All this people saying she's been played ,new grad nurses make that in Texas. It's as simple as that
THX SIS
You're not missing anything not work at Ben Taub....it's definitely an interesting hospital. 😳
lol 😂😂😂
That is rediculous. I started with 32.50.in Nj not even as a hospital nurse but homecare nurse as a new RN.
Hospitals pay less
so ridiculous
Me, an unlicensed CNA making $21/hr... whut?! 😳
What do u do now?
Go to California or NY...see how much they make.
My bags are packed, lol
NYer here. Making 53/hr. Please get out there sis. The amount of work we do, we deserve more.

Are u LPN or RN

@@MyLifeasSugar ... and they wanted to pay u only $22.50 ?
I’m a LPN and I get paid $23.20
@@MyLifeasSugar bsn is still rn. At the end of the day you are a registered nurse period with a bachelor’s degree ( I get that part). Your title is a registered nurse , ( kpamke). Smh you could have just answered rn
@@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061 Yes but BSN took more classes and is identified as the "professional" nurse. IDK why, but that is the term my professor stated when we were told the difference, but it doesn't make any of the other nurses any less. For example when I chart its my name followed by BSN RN, the associate RN is shown as their name followed by RN and the same for LPN. Some jobs pay BSN nurses higher just like the pay would increase for MSN nurse. But at the end of the day we all take the same test.
There was nothing wrong with the way she answered. Yes, RN is RN, but it’s okay she specified.
Wow that's really low,I will suggest you move to California
I'm thinking about it
Girl where do u work..... 22.50??? Is this a third world country
