What about nurse managers
Hi what type of work I'll get after passing my NCLEX RN exam
I have been a silent subscriber for 2 years now. I just want to tell you thank you so much! Today I just passed my NCLEX RN. Your videos helped me through nursing school and help me study for the boards. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Congratulations!!
congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!!
Congrats bro !!
Truth be told the way you make more money is by not staying in the same place for long periods of time. You move around gain experience then return to the place you like best and you salary will be higher then if you stayed at that same place that entire time and earned small raises every year
Facts
Yes. This is another example of why 1099 contract assignments are the way to go.
So true!!!!!!🙌👏
how often should you find a new place to work?
@@yuyu-jy8zz My husband, who is an economics major, has advised my to switch jobs every 2 years.
i’m 12 years old and i am researching on becoming a pain management nurse when i’m older!
I’m 13, and I wanna be a registered nurse !...we can do it🤍🙏🏽
Awe I love to see it y’all can do ittt
If you do agency/contracting or travel nursing you can make WELL over 6 figures! You will make less being staff. Graduated from nursing school in 2017. Started at $28/hr in Maryland. It’s definitely gone up substantially since then !
I'm studying to be a nurse, and it can be really annoying when people tell me I won't get paid much. Clearly, RNs get paid a decent amount. "Poor pay" to me means under the average wage, which nurses definitely get paid more than the average wage.
When we talk about salary it's important how many hours in a month you work. Because someone can say his/her big salary and everybody like: "Wow, cool, you're so successful!" But maybe this person works 6 days in week, 12 hours a day😀
Sarah basically got me through nursing school. Thanks for another great video!
Just because of you. I passed my patho exam. I really appreciate the videos and how you gave examples in order for us nursing students to understand.
Yes, nurses make decent money. we old hags in Texas make about $60/hr. When you apply for a new job, always remember the posted salary range is a mere suggestion. If you have experience, push for the hourly you want. Hospitals will pay for experience but will also pay you what they want if you'll accept it. Know your worth.
Pretty cool ! Thank you! I’m currently in CRNA school! Very challenging but in a good way! :)
Just wanted to say thank you for your channel! I passed my nursing exam here in Quebec, Canada.
I’m graduating this semester from my accelerated program and I want to be a psych NP as well! Awesome content and informative! 👏🏾
I graduate in august from my accelerated program. I can’t wait !
Congrats!!
I graduate absn next Dec and also want to be PMHNP!
Congratulations! Best of luck to you!
ME TOO!
I just finished my degree in nursing and your videos and website helped me out so much during the last 4 years from my first vitals taking practicum class to my final SPAN revision. Thank u loads.
How u r doing now
woww that's amazing. i just started my nursing degree and now i'm in my 2nd year. i am pumped to finish this and finish this degree too!
It depends on which state you live. I’ve been working as an LVN here in Bay Area California for only 1.5 yrs and making $38 per hour. The rate is good but you have to consider the cost of living as well. It’s so damn expensive to live here.
I wish I made close to $77k as an RN. Iowa is a lower paid state, but our cost of living is also on the lower end.
Remember that it isn't always entirely about the raw income.
I imagine you still make upwards of 60k
Florida pays low also
@@Thatguyy002 i live in iowa too and just graduated nursing school and let me tell you the pay is not upwards of 60k lol i'll be lucky if i make 50k ...i know new grads get paid less but the pay is a joke in iowa
Hello doc .. I was looking for NCLEX - RN and I found you. Thank God! Your videos are very informative and the video that appeared just today, I think is what has been chasing me for almost a month! Because I went into nursing and was thinking about salaries and things like that! All my doubts are now cleared up! Thank you doc! :)
So happy to see that you are staying safe and healthy and hope everything is going well and God bless you and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘,
Great info as usual!
Thank youuuu for always post a good videos for all of us.... i really appreciate it😍😍😍
You are rare gem Sarah. Your videos are really helpful and helped me in my study for the NCLEX exams. I successfully passed . Thxs be to God and to you.
Thanks to Florence Nightingale
majority of the nursing is at the undergraduate level. these nurses work bedside and in specialty areas like ICU and surgery. For the amount of responsibility, stress and physical labor, I don’t think we’re properly compensated at all.
Thank you for introducing.
Thank you for making nursing school essier
Right I’m in a LPN program now and I love her skill videos. Good luck fellow nursing student.
*easier
Yaasss!! Sarah literally got me through nursing school. Graduated this past May :)
You forgot to mention that you can also be a nurse if you have a non nursing degree by doing accelerated BSN or Entry Level MSN which I did.I am a proud nurse and even more proud especially during this pandemic.I agree that nursing salaries are competitive.
Love You Serah Thank You For Making This Video Love From INDIA
Thank you!
Hi Sarah I graduated 12 years ago BSN and decided to take the NCLEX exam right now iam starting to review and dont know how to start . I came across your video and find it very informative thanks .
Btw it would be great is you can give some pointers thanks!!!
Thank you for information
In Vegas, i made like 65k-70k from acute hospital IMC dept for 3 days a week, then 40K part time /per diem in post acute 2-3 days if i feel like working.... But since the pandemic i layed low picking up and rather stay home as much as i can..
Thank you so much⚘
I’m glad to know that I took the time to invest in myself and earn a nursing degree! I, like you, enjoy the money we make! I enjoyed listening to your message😊😊
I graduate from my accelerated program in august whoop!!!!
Inspiring.
I’m in my first semester! Goodness gracious I’m hoping to get there
You’ll be fine, just keep pushing when the road gets bumpy.
I'm finishing up nursing school around Philly. Many of my friends are nurses in Philly making 80-100k without OT. Just depends on where you live.
But is it expensive to live there
Thank you so very much
Been a nurse for 11 years in west michigan. Definitely don't make enough money.
Am on my second year, second semester doing RCHN hoping to get there. Thanks for the video
I'm an lpn who makes less than 23 so don't worry. Are you nursing in the south? Lol I'm in Georgia.
@@blackdahlia4232 No am not in South, am in Kenya
Starting salary for RN’s in NJ at my hospital is 80K
try and invest with a company and make weekly profits
Can you speak more about the CRNA what exactly do you have to do to become one? How long does it take?
Am a registered nurse in Australia and have done Masters degree for 3 years & am 20 years experience & yet am.still on the level of RN .Does it mean if I was in America I would be Advanced Registered Nurse? Love the way they promote ongoing professional development
In the US, you had a Masters Degree in Nursing, you’d be considered a Nurse Practitioner
@@ryankelly8077 thank u maybe I should consider relocating 🤣
Same goes for African Nurses
For the amount of studying and stuff we need to do , no not enough imin my opinion
You’ve got to be kidding me. Try looking at what paramedics make and you’ll shortly change your mind.
Ya but nurses got tons of responsibility. Dangerous nurse to patient ratios and so easy to get sued and lose our licenes
@@Slaeadventures as an Emt, that’s why I went into nursing school
Amount of studying??? 2 years of nursing school to be at same level as a bachelor is not a lot. Now how much we have to do on a floor, sure, lets get a raise
Down South they dont but Here in the Bay Area we do. I know a staff nurse II who works at Kaiser who makes $88/hr. Vegas makes decent too and cost of living is lower too
Whut👀👀
88 DOLLLARS GAAAAD DAMNN I WOULD RETIRE AT THE AGE OF 50
@@user-mt3uf1mc2e 🤣🤣🤣
👀
Do you know how much in Vegas? I applied for nursing school there!
Man. For the stress you take no money is worth it, but if you like looking after people is all worth it.
Yes is also true nurses have good wage :)
I guess.My point is. Don't be a nurse who just wants good wage.
Can you make more info on how to be in dermatology nursing or cosmetics nursing?
Agreed! That would be a sweet job!
There are crash courses for aesthetics (botox/fillers) that usually take 1-2 days. The best way to learn derm/aesthetics though is to get hired by a dermatology clinic or med spa and get on the job training.
I’m a nursing student currently, and nursing school online has been hard. I hope to work in med-surg for experience and I believe nursing is not only $$$$$. Our patients are people and they need wholistic care. Empathy and valuing a patient is important and I hope we implement that in nursing.
I feel your struggle! I'm also currently trying to navigate online nursing school and I agree that nursing is a very rewarding career (not only in terms of money).
Best of luck to you!
Yes it depends on ur loans my friend is a poor nurse her loans are 70,000-80,000
Thank you for explaining because I kept seeing that nurses don’t get paid enough that their salary is the same as a teacher 🤦♀️
newly licensed LVN here.. here in california, they are starting lvn's anywhere from 30-40 an hour
I make that as a truck driver. Local deliveries.
Can you please make a video on breast cancer?
Hi, do you have videos on how to pass the Hesi exam vides?
Thank you for your channel; it's very relevant. I have been an LPN for 23 years with a vast amount of skilled nursing experience in several areas. I graduated in the 94% of my class, despite being 43 years old and going through a divorce. On many occasions when people find out that I have been a nurse this long, they quickly say to me " Oh you make the big bucks!" positively to
NYC and the surrounding area ! 88k-upper 90k ! Some places . 100k. New Grad ! Some places Asn or BSN. Not just hospitals btw!
Because of cost of living..sigh
Where? I’m a new grad in NYC and I would love to look into these places.
@@ThePresentation010 yeah plus they tax they he’ll out of you
Taxes are a nightmare in New York
I know nurses in NYC working as RNs making 150k WITH overtime, and some who make that amount with two jobs (FT and a perdiem position).
I hope salary isn’t the motivation for people to pursue nursing. I’m afraid people talk about what they want to become but don’t talk about what kind of nurse they want to be. This career is not for everyone and people have to get their priority straight because your pursuing isn’t just about you. Don’t let your selfish greed suffer other people.
You're wrong in some ways because some people do pursue nursing for the money, and that does not make them bad nurses if they can do the job competitively. You can be greedy and do an amazing job as a nurse.
I disagree entirely. I work as a nurse to make money, that is my primary goal. So how do I go about maximizing my income in a system where trade is voluntary and work opportunities are competitive? Simply put: I must maximize my value. I need to work better, be more thorough and more attentive than my colleagues. I need to make few mistakes or none at all and to constantly learn and improve. I need to develop new skills in order to be competent in an increasingly wider range of areas in nursing care. And thus I do exactly that.
My motivation is entirely selfish; I work for myself and for my income. Not only do I make no apologies for this, I maintain there is nothing wrong with this approach whatsoever. The end result is that I work better, put in more hours, study harder and provide a higher level of care to my patients. I do this for the reward, and my patients benefit from my efforts.
@@marhattariz You are wrong. Nursing is caring. If you really love what you do you should be able to do it regardless of salary, and interestingly patients can see the difference in your care whether you are just doing for a job or you are actually caring for the patient.
We all need money to survive so I don’t see anything wrong in going into nursing for the money. It’s a better gig than being a teacher or making $10 an hour
Can you talk about medical assisting salary please
Do you have information on CRNA? “certified registered nurse anesthetist” that’s what I plan on being as I continue with nursing
181k
@@muthoni632 thanks
CRNAs are the highest paid nurses - they make around 200K depending on where you live and such.
As an LPN with IV certification, I make a little more then $15/hr
No way. What area do you live in and how many years of experience do you have?
What?? Which state is that 😳😳😳😳???
That is important to note, money should not be your primary motive to be a nurse or study nursing
You must feel connected to the profession.
As a nursing student, I know we can keep our values and principles and treat our clients with respect and dignity.
These are my key points, and I am welcoming to hear your thoughts
You can say that but reality is, people have bills and debt to pay. Having a connection to the healthcare field or any field will not retain anyone if the pay is low. That’s just facts. Look at the high turn over of teachers and Nurses that have to work overtime, have multiple jobs, or leave the field they love because of low pay. Inflation never stops.
What is the difference between a clinical nurse specialist, a midwife and a nurse practitioner?
Just had my final semester final today... waiting for results...
In Ontario, Canada:
LPNs earn $20-23 (USD) in hospitals, less in other settings
RNs start at $25 and cap at $36 (USD) after 8 years.
NPs earn around $40 (USD).
When you compare that to what American nurses earn, we are underpaid.
NP $45? what! RNs in my area make $45/hr in nursing homes as an agency. I live in the midwest small town.
Lvn 26/hr!
I was an LVN in CA and I made NOWHERE near that lol.
I’m an LPN in Utah and make more than the average she mentioned 😬✌️
In Arizona as an LPN you make at least 27 dollars an hour. Sooo yeah...
I’m a NYC LPN make only 50,000
Hey sarah! I' m nurse from sri lanka. I had 4 year (120 credit) BSN degree and i already following masters program. Is there any pathway to apply as a nurse in US? please share the links
Have you tried looking up the information yourself instead of relying on others to hand out the information to you?
WOW
I am registered nurse in Bangladesh.
I love your accent
Hi
How to come us as a RN
Yes, short answer. Nurses are some of the better paid in the medical field. I work in ems. Nurses learn a lil about a lot . Paramedics learn a lot about a little. Be a nurse. Paramedics get the shaft with longer schooling.
They get the shaft, and broken backs
Ehhh we learn a LOT more of a LOT compared to EMS/medics.
Nurses in Somalia do the most jobs in Hospitals, nevertheless their salary is $100 pre month.
InshAllah one day it wiil change.
Hi guys just let you know in Memphis, TN newly graduated nurse gets pay between 23.88-24.88/ hr so please move away from Memphis. Nurses are underpaid here.
You could try Nashville but it looked just as bad
while in the Philippines 50 pesos per hr (400 pesos per day) equivalent to $1 per hr . 🤢
I’m an RN and I make about the average income that an LPN makes 😬
Which state?
advocate for yourself for a raise! I'm a CNA and make as much as an LPN right now. In nursing school
Damn, I have a phd and I earn 52000/ year. I should have gone to nursing schools.
PhD in what?
@@Citygal01 gender studies
Whoever is an NP taking $53 per hour needs to reevaluate that decision lol
Exactly,that’s too low
There's a lot of np that make 70k
Many fnp accept just about any offered salary because the market is so flooded
@@bxjagal That is beyond sad. And should be unacceptable. Most NP's I know wont take a position for less than $140,000/year. I made more than 70k per year as an LPN
@@Thenurse_jay If you don’t mind me asking, What did you have to do from start to finish (post high school) to become an LPN?
RN in Alabama here, apparently way underpaid :(
Is that before or after you factor in the cost of living?
From South Dakota... I feel you homie
@@MrRdvs87 unfortunately before, definitely not rolling in any surplus dough. Explains the constant shortage at my hospital and why everyone eventually leaves for a contract or to travel. I'm thankful for the extra shift pick-up incentive right now though. Rather than hiring a lot of travel nurses they are giving staff the chance to work extra shifts and that helps.
Agree. RNs were starting at $17/hr in my area of Alabama a year ago. Then Target started paying $15/hr to cashiers. RNs then were bumped to $22. coincidence lol. You can make 5-10 more an hr with many years experience and/or being in a speciality. Even in Alabama with the cost of living being a little lower the salaries are very low. I feel Reg RNs here should start at least a minimum of $40/hr and top around $60/hr with specialities pushing $5-$10/hr more to be competitive with the cost of living right now for this year. Even the cost of housing has went up $50,000+ more for a house since Spring. I have spoke to people working in factories right out of high school In Alabama that started out making more than an RN. At the new to experienced salary of $22-$30/hr here you will struggle financially. If you want to save for retirement that will get you a tiny home, tiny car and ramen noodles.
I am from India , wanna crack NCLEX , but the question is how can I get job after becoming licensed
?
ma'am i am from india
can u plz guide me after completing my bsc nursing which course should i persue
In Toronto the average is $34 for RN’s 😭😭😭
The cost of living is higher
That’s a good wage where I live
Is that Canadian nurses or the USA
USA. Canadian nurses earn a lot less
You guys should get paid more. I make 90k as a Diesel mechanic with no degree.
they get paid 40$ a hour now wtf
As a new grad, staff RN in a PCU unit in Florida, I started out at 25.50/hr. Got a small increase to 26.81 after 6 months. Nurse don’t really talk about their salary so it’s hard to gauge if or when your being cheated 🥲
Too low. Cdl with haz mat make more. I studied for RN biggest mistake in my life. All that work and responsibilities, if not more than a doctor, for only $30 - 40 / hrs. Heck na. I quite having 2 semesters left.
Yeah if you go to California you make good money
And pay $2300 for a 2 bedroom apartment... and 50% in taxes
I’m an LPN in Maryland. Lol i made more than that fresh out of school.
Hey mem .How an indian nurse become canada.

No. We don’t! 😂
