No nurse anywhere in the country should make less than $50/hr

[sonnyarce]

10 years with an associate degree in Los Angeles with a base pay of 73/Hr. That being said we have so many travel nurses from the south and Midwest

[mahrimorrow]

Portland, OR. BSN. 5 years of RN experience. I make $53.96/hr.
When I lived in Albuquerque, NM and had 3 years of experience I made $34.78/hr.

Not in nursing but studying at a community college to get into the career so I'm glad to found this video! Thank you!

It’s sad to say that her pay does not reflect her many years of nursing. I have a friend who is a new grad nurse who makes $41 dollars an hour. If your aunt would have moved jobs, had a couple employers throughout her nursing career she could have such better pay than she does now. She could have negotiated way better rates than staying at one hospital her entire career. I have another friend who worked at a hospital for 2 years, accepted a new job somewhere else & negotiated $8 dollar raise. Worked at that job for a few years & then moved hospitals accepting another $8 dollar raise. She told me the way of increasing your pay faster is by not staying with the same company/hospital & moving to different hospitals & negotiating for better pay— she said they will look at your experience & increase your pay way faster than your yearly raises at one hospital would. A hospital is more willing to pay more for new hires with experience than to move up pay for their long time employees.. it’s sad

New Grad here from CA. Just got hired at $60.80 an hour.

The money seems ok being a nurse but for the job you guys do, you should be getting far more. Being a Doctor or nurse is not voluntary, it is not a charity nor are the doctors or nurses charity workers, they do a job that is needed and should be rewarded for that job with the best money possible. Its not their responsibility for the millions of people who just dont look after themselves well and the emotional blackmailers of the world need to shut up and see it from the view of the care workers. Pay them more i say.

Please also include insurance and pto and extended illness bank too. After I broke my leg it's 100% pay for 3 months. 401k match too. It's just not about a hourly rate

Thanks for sharing. When I started as new nurse. I made about 32$ in CA but times went by 24 years later I made a lot more and cost of living is so high.😅

[hannahhaaland]

Rn-BSN in Texas with 11 years of experience and I make $38.16 for a base rate … this is crazy

[ericafitnurse]

When i was a NEW grad in 2020, i only started with $27/hr in florida…. Only at $32.76 right now…so awful

[mirandaalexis]

Hospitals in Alabama don’t incentivize you to get your BSN but they incentivize your CEN and CCRN

[MNP]

Hmmm, your 3-5 year estimate is very high. We don’t make $90, 000/year base salary in most of the Midwest. You should stick to hourly base rate without overtime added. The supplemental income is so varied. You aren’t comparing apples to apples so this is a little misleading.

[rosemensah]

I’m a 🇬🇧 RN and I’m just watching videos to make an informed decision before I decide to relocate to US. I would love to live in the east coast states with a low cost of living especially rent to raise family

[lc-ilwr]

U couldn't pay me a $1 million dollars a year to be a nurse..

[jayc]

Thank you, for that information. I have summer and fall semester, and I graduate with my master’s degree. Do you have any idea about a new grad with a master, 0 experience is worth?

[regondolapatrick]

Can i ask if after bsn degree, do you need a agency to work in a hospital in US or you can apply directly tp hospital

[isorozco]

So many nurses making this kind of bank should i be salty i picked a horrible profession or is the system overpaying yall? Being a mechanic is touch and requires highs skill but our industry pay sucks yet i enjoy cars much more than healthcare. WTF i hate this.

[tun]

Yeah, but are these stats inflated by California?

[toyarj]

Oh nah I thought most nurses make at least 120-130 on average. That’s a shame
