i was a patient in the hospital and i was in the Heart section of ICU and this young 22 year old nurse, i was her first patient. I was the first patient that she ever put in an IV...She did it perfectly, and i told her to take a picture on her phone and text it to your mom... she did and she said "i did it".....her mom was so proud and happy...

As someone in his 50s now dealing with an elderly parent whose health is failing, do yourself the biggest favor you possibly can now: get in the habit of saving and investing for the worst times in life, not the best times in life when you imagine yourself retired and on a beach somewhere. You may find yourself set for what remains of YOUR life, but a sick parent or child can wreck those dreams in an instant.

The market will fluctuate during the years but there are plenty of investment mixes from which to choose and vary your risk levels. At a bare minimum, you should contribute the maximum amount your company would match -- otherwise, you're throwing away free money.

Cheers and well done. When I retired from the Navy, becoming a nurse was my plan. I was basically a logistical and computer guy in the military for 20 years. I took night classes for years to obtain the basic Bio 101, AP 102/102, chem, etc, etc. Since my BS was in computers, I needed to get all of my pre-req courses for Nursing School done for the Application Process started. I applied and was accepted. I took one semester at Nursing School with a very nice college. During the winter break which was 4 weeks, I got a computer job to pay for the next round of books ($$$$). However while doing computer stuff, another person I knew offered me a full time computer job. That was a huge thing for me. I earned a B+ in Nursing school, which as you know is very good. Lot's of people when home and had to re-apply to the school because their grades. I really loved the nursing school, the teaching staff and administration was incredible. But, in 1998 the average starting pay was about 15 per hour/day shift. My computer job was 25/hour/part time. So I wrote a letter to the Ph.D Dean of our school and informed her I was leaving the school. She was very nice and really wanted my to stay. You make great friends with the students and staff, so It was like when I retired from the Navy, a sad day. Now moving forward, my computer positions moved me up to over 100K/ year within 8 years leaving. I had to to retire from computer programming. due to a neck injury. But, even though I am older than most, I would love to start that adventure again. Really, loved the way you broke down the pay process. So many folks don't under day, night, weekend or holiday pay schedules. I'm in a retirement age and still get offers for computer jobs, but having watched your video, I might go back to school! The medical field is in short supply and they help 'everyone'. Thanks and the best luck in your future assignments and growth.

I was so excited to earn a good check my first 5 years because I made the most out of all my friends. However, after about 8 years, they began to move past me, had off weekends and holidays. After 15 years, everyone made more than me. Nurses max out quickly in healthcare. Plan ahead!

Love that you are an Oregonian!

Thank you for sharing w us. I’m in the process applying for nursing school.

Nice! Oregon State Hospital starts at $45/ hour, and nothing beats State benefits either!

Congrats on your new professional career as an RN! There is such a nursing shortage in our country of nurses so it doesn't surprise me that hospitals and nursing homes are doing all they can to retain nursing staff. I thought about becoming a nurse myself at one point, but the idea of sticking a needle on someone's body was just too much for me 😂Stay with nursing, you obviously seem very passionate about it and that's what matters! I'm in healthcare as well, just not anything with providing direct medical care. I'm and administrator and that works best for me. Thanks for sharing. If your interested in ways to pay off your student loans I know how to do so by still being a nurse. Just FYI.

Great insight! Am looking forward getting my own pay check after graduating.

That’s actually really good. In 2017, nurses where I worked made significantly less than that even with many years of ICU experience. Some of the clinical ladders to increase pay make it almost impossible after a certain point. A lot of hospitals will pay as little as possible and staff as little as possible. We got several “market raises” because our pay was behind everyone else. The raises are a joke too. Inflation used to be about 2% and our standard raise was 2% so really we weren’t even getting a real raise. I’ve changed careers but it’s nice to see that some of you all are at least getting paid better. Unfortunately, I feel like travel nursing or changing jobs every two years is the best way to make money as an RN because a lot of hospitals don’t take care of their nurses.

That's different than what I'm used to. At my hospital you get the differential of whatever the majority of your shift is. So for 7p-7a you get night shift differential for the entire 12 hours since the majority of your shift is 3rd.

My pay is way lower: $30.14/hr base, $3.50/hr diff for night shift, and $5.50/hr if it's a weekend. No incentives, but I can get time and a half as well as a sign-on bonus of 15k for a one year contract. I feel like Florida doesn't pay nurses that high as I'm seeing many Floridian nurses make less on average. That's OK though, this pay is literally double my last job's pay with the base pay alone. My first paycheck will be exciting!

Great vid! I just found Your channel and will be doing a lot of catch-up. I’m a 70 year old retired Metrologist from a DOE National Standards Lab and my main hobby for the last eleven years has been having surgeries. Three years ago I came down with pulmonary fibrosis and COPD. As a result I spend a WHOLE LOT of time in this chair watching you tube. I know a good channel when I see it! Anyway, if You get tired of Nursing I guarantee You could make a killing in modeling!!

Thank you for what you do!

I make about 40 an hour in Virginia for an ICU night shift, its def low but tbh i only have my ASN and ZERO experience so it kinda makes up for it. Luckily i plan on only doing this for 2-3 years and going to crna school also cant wait for that overtime! need to finish orientation for it, also gonna work all holidays - 2x pay!

that's awesome. i wanna go to crna school too, i currently have a year left of nursing school! i'm from florida and i've been seeing a varying range of salaries for ICU nurses here so i can't really gauge it. how do you like working night shift in comparison to day?

40 an hour is literally the dream in Rhode Island as a new grad😭😭. And our cost of living is soo high so idk why it’s still like $30.

VCU has one of the top CRNA programs in the country. Stupid competitive for obvious reasons. Good luck! We're on the same track!

That’s an amazing base pay. My base as a new grad RN in 2012 was $22/hr. Working night shift amounted to an extra $10,000/yr.

That’s insane! Where is that? HCAs (American equivalent is CNA) start at $30 an hour plus differentials. I started at $38 an hour and now make $46 an hour plus differentials and we get $5 an hour extra if we are short staffed, which we pretty much always are 😅

My base pay in NJ in 2002 as a new grad was about $22/hour. Nursing pay has always been very location dependent - larger, more metropolitan areas have much higher rates of pay.

when you consider inflation since 2012 it's really not great at all

@@msltoe15 in Canada it doesn’t matter, I live in a small town and that was my pay or if I lived up north in a tiny little community I’d get the same as well. It is different province to province, but in general much higher than the states almost double. Our province is one giant union though of almost 50,000 so shit gets done

Thank you for sharing!! congratulations :)

Good video. Im in Florida and am a Respiratory Therapist. Been one for 1 1/2 years now. I know from my nurse friends the new grad nurse pay is 1.50 more than RTs. Pay in florida is horrible but is starting to get better. I was hired at 23.50/hr but within 2 months they increased the new grad base pay to 27/hr and now Im paid 28.34/hr. Our evening weekday differential is $3. Weekday nights is $4 and weekends is $2 on top of whatever the evening/night differential is. My first year up until august our OT bonus was $700 on top of time and a half but since august it has been $500 but we do not get pay a higher incentive outside the bonus like the extra $25/hr you were talking about. .Traveling is where its at if you really want to make money. Ive seen contracts for both nurses and RTs average about 4000 a week and exceed 6000 a week. during the height of covid i saw 12-14000 a week contracts. That being said I am looking at doing a bridge BSN program and making the switch to nursing due to nurses having more opportunity.
