HOW MUCH DO NURSES MAKE IN NORTH CAROLINA? Cost Of Living in NC VS NJ

[@WazirinJosnEnvirons]

Proof that is not about how much you MAKE, it's about how much you actually get to KEEP.

[@EricaFuller]

Relocating to NC soon from NY tks for the video. I am aware of the cut however the housing savings alone off sets that.

[@alaska340]

Also in NY take home is around 70% and NC is 77%, on the same income. I managed to spend less in Charlotte, even tho its not as cheap as I expected. I live uptown, shop in whole foods, traders . Surprisingly Whole foods was cheaper in NYC, due to sales :) Still its not bad. Let's say you are moving to Charlotte to have a peaceful, comfortable life. No dirty streets, no homeless people who are pushing you, yelling at you etc. SO it's all about what you are looking for. Lets talk about $12 water bill lol or $50 electricity bill, having AC on :) Thanks for this video, your make up is very pretty today!

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Yes your so right. Thank you 😀😀

[@UnderRatedBeauty88]

Omg I feel like we are the same person. I currently live in nyc trying to move to Charlotte by mid to late January. I’m also into Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. My main concern is avoiding crazy homeless people and dirty neighborhoods. Is the rent uptown expensive to you ?

[@alaska340]

@@UnderRatedBeauty88 :)Hi! No, rent is pretty much the same all over, uptown, south end areas offer 2-3 months free rent, which is amazing and building are new. Mine is 1,5 year old. I did not feel safe in NYC, especially past 6-7 months. You wont regret, its nice, clean, air is so fresh, parks and sunny most of the time.

[@UnderRatedBeauty88]

@@alaska340 hi do you know where there are 3-4 months free rent and safe? If I didn’t have family in nyc I probably wouldn’t have felt safe either although it’s a little convenient because I don’t need a car. I will have to get use to driving up there

[@alaska340]

@@UnderRatedBeauty88 I searched on apartment . Com , some buildings have offer on their website. Try Savoy, 2 months for sure. Also compare to others fee is very small.

[@TC-mg3ug]

That overtime isn't worth it! Lol

[@La05g1rl1987]

People aren’t taking into the cost of living into effect when you’re talking about salaries. Obviously if you live in the west coast, like California, you’re expected to make 6 figures because of the cost of living. You’re not going to make less than that, but when you’re living in a one bedroom apartment for 3k, and making 100k, it makes sense to make that amount. This ain’t happening in NC… our cost of living is much lower and the average salary for RN, is right at 32-35$. Mortgage is around 1600$ so it balances itself out.

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Exactly!

[@HoneySoooFly]

Lately the cost of living in NC has been increasing a lot but pay isn’t going up

[@lydiamerritt1174]

And it also depends on the type of nursing you are doing. But you are correct. Nurses are in a lot if fields that really do pay higher, even in nc. But this is still good info

[@blessed2xx]

Wow this video couldn’t be anymore than 💯%. I’m relocating down to GA from NY and everyone keeps telling me I’m gonna regret it because of the pay cut. But the quality of life for my kids and myself is so worth it. A lot of nurses in NY don’t realize the cost of living is higher here so of course u get paid more here, but you don’t see it. I can’t wait to move this summer❤️❤️Thank you for your video

Thanks for the transparency & details!

[@JCO65]

As a new RN grad in Northern rural California, I'm on schedule to clear $101,000 my first year as a night shift med/surg nurse at an independent hospital. That's without overtime. With the noc diff, I'm at $54 an hour. It's no issue to clear 100k in California as a new grad.

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Yes but as stated your cost of living is outrageous. Plus 101k is barely 6 figures but thanks for watching.

[@stilman3780]

There is also shift differential for those working 12 hours from 7pm to 7am.

I'm interested to know about that too!

What part of NC? How long have you been a RN?

@@EJIMANnenaNgozi im in fayetteville, NC and for 2 years now and 6 and an LPN.

[@arlinenivens997]

Say it. Unless you are advanced level nurse like a NP you will make six figures. People think nurses are rich!

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Yes people look at extreme cases or travel nurses and come to unrealistic conclusions regarding nursing salaries.

[@Rmm760]

What is the average pay for a RN with a BSN and 10+ experience? Specifically in the Raleigh area

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Hello. I don’t like in Raleigh. I’ve been a nurse for 7 years and to get $40 an hour at a full time job is challenging.

[@ObjectivelyBias]

I started at $51.50 as a new grad in San Diego. What are you talking about? Not one nurse at UCSD makes under $100K.

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Is that the average in San Diego? were you hired during the pandemic? In North Carolina no new grad is making 100k that’s a fact.

[@Stefanbites85]

Yeah but your rent is over 2k. I Know some nurses who make 50 an hour here in ct and the average of a home is 300K

[@ObjectivelyBias]

@@Stefanbites85 $300K gets you a mobile home in San Diego. Our housing market is trash. $500K for a 3br house in the inner city under 1200 square feet.

[@EJIMANnenaNgozi]

Yes you cannot factor in salary without factoring in cost of living!

Possibly moving to SC from California. RN here. How is the job hunting there for RN? And how do you like living in Carolina?
