Granddaughter just got hired as a CNA while in nursing school at Texas Medical Center. Hospital has magnet status. She will grad nursing school -December 2020 BSN.

Big misconception and what hospitals want you to believe, higher paying states have higher cost of living and it BALANCES OUT. This may be true in some cases but in Northern California nurses live a much more comfortable lifestyle. I spent almost two years in Texas as an RN and living paycheck to paycheck was depressing.

[@multifocusmom4678]

Great video! I’m a nurse from Nola as well.

[@Jsttalilbitt]

Love this video. I will be graduating from nursing school in December with my BSN and will be moving to Houston. How did you adjust with the move? You mentioned that you lived in NOLA and I'm from there. How was it meeting new people?

[@dearnewnurse6244]

Amanie Amazing! I’m originally from Houston, so moving back home after being away for 10 years wasn’t too bad! I had old friends that I reconnected with. I’m also very involved with church so attending events and meeting people there made it easy as well!

Wanted to hear exact numbers & also location in TX. Not enough details.

[@JaideRenee]

Average pay here in Houston for a new nurse is $28-31/hr. I was offered $31 but like I said that was the high end.. most are closer to $28

[@Nurseaholic]

Jade what hospitals/ H. system do you suggest applying to? I’d be moving from out of state & don’t want to be hoaxed by numbers.

[@ijgr]

I talk about numbers you make in California as a RN if you’re interested... just go to my channel...

[@terrycrews1760]

@@JaideRenee can you provide more detail on how you got the high end of that? Was it bc the hospital you applied at? Did you negotiate to get that?

[@JaideRenee]

@@terrycrews1760 i didn’t do anything special, it was just the starting pay for that hospital. As a new grad there is little room to negotiate because the hospitals have to invest so much money to train you.

[@veliciawilliams5865]

Not enough. Nurses and teachers are too underpaid. I would advise a nurse to keep up with your certifications, learn new skills. And if you can , go to law school.

[@kali18]

Sorry this might be a silly question but is an ADN ( associates of nursing ) a RN or LPN?. I want to be a RN the fastest way possible and later get my BSN while I’m already a RN.

[@dearnewnurse6244]

Kali J Hey! Not a silly question at all! RNs have either a Bachelor or Associate’s degree. LPNs obtain a certificate, usually from a vocational/technical school. LPNs are usually supervised under an RN and their nursing care is restricted. For example, they are not able to give IV medications, and they cannot work in critical care areas. They also make less than an RN. These days, you won’t find many LPNs. Atleast not in the hospital settings I’ve worked in...I’ve come across 1 LPN in the last 5 years. Also, some hospitals only hire BSNs and many hospitals are pushing their nurses with ADNs to go back to school to obtain a BSN. I encourage those who want to go into nursing to definitely go for a BSN. You be glad that you did later!

[@alanamason-walker6409]

Another thing to consider is that a lot of hospitals are still hiring ADNs, and most of them will help or completely pay for you to obtain you BSN. Weigh your pros and cons, and compare costs and options available to you.

[@desschante]

I plan on moving to Dallas after I become a nurse possibly a year after but idk what’s a good area to move into , could you do a video on that

[@dearnewnurse6244]

Hmmm, that's a tough one for me. I travel to Dallas almost monthly but I'm not sure how the pay is there as an RN. I would imagine that the hospitals located in the city most likely pay more than the hospitals located in suburban areas. At least, that's how pay goes in Houston. Hospitals in the medical district in Houston pay more than the suburban hospitals.

[@stepangolub3384]

Money will be a factor in the end.

[@TITOBAP]

How about cna rate per hour?

[@dearnewnurse6244]

titobapRhads channel not 100% sure..I believe the cna’s I worked with made $15-17/hour. Of course the type of hospital you are working in and how long you’ve been working will affect this rate.

Hlo.I am an rn from India. I cleared my nclex rn recently.my husband is in texas Houston. So I would like to find a job as an rn in nearby hospital.what are the procedure for getting job ,where we want to submit our resume ?

[@meusepierre8501]

Where are you from?

[@nataliahill3397]

Was really hoping to see real numbers 😭

[@dearnewnurse6244]

So sorry! The numbers just vary so much depending on state, experience, day/night shift, degree type, hospital credentials! In Houston, as a new grad I made in the mid $40Ks. I worked day shift as a new grad with a BSN as a bedside nurse. After 1 year, I moved to a different hospital (still bedside and acute care) with more credentials, still dayshift and was making a little over $60K..my night shift coworkers who had about the same amount of experience I had were making a little over $70K. Picking up overtime shifts can boost your pay a couple thousand as well, but I never did overtime as I was too exhausted from my scheduled shifts.

[@kyleychanel5574]

What do you mean by location. Do you mean if it is in a new metropolis area. Also did you have any experience in hospital/nurse extern/ or nursing home before applying to your 1st nursing job.

[@tesslynland6089]

Hello! I can’t speak for other cities, but I know in Houston, nurses who worked in the Texas Medical Center which was directly in the city, made significantly more than Nurses who worked in hospitals that were in more suburban areas. I had no experience before applying to my 1st nursing job. I was fresh out of nursing school and got accepted into a 3 month new graduate nurse program at a hospital in a suburban area.

[@pedromax6878]

I would like to ask how much salary per month after all deduction including house rent electricity transportation. How much you will save money a month after all expenses. I want to ask for comparing purposes whether to move or not. Im presently working in Kuwait and i save 2000 us dollar a month converted after all deduction cause here no tax. Free accommodation including utilities and transportation to work. Only food and internet phone charge are not free. Sorry for comparing.

[@dearnewnurse6244]

pedromax68 it all depends on your years of experience and what area of nursing you are in and the shift you work and where! So many factors. I’ve made around $50K/yr working as a new grad in a suburban hospital to $75K working in a specialty area. Also, how much you are able to save monthly is subjective to your monthly expenses. If you don’t have much debt or bills you can save a decent amount on an average salary. You can be making a good salary and have tons of bills and debt and barely be able to save anything.

[@zendayasworld1825]

But you're not calling the actual Salary 🙄

[@zendayasworld1825]

Or even an estimate

[@jeanvogler9131]

A basic rule of thumb to estimate salary is to double the hourly rate you're getting, then multiply by by 1000. So, as an example, if she says she was making in the mid'20's (I'm assuming/HOPING she means hourly) then $25/hr would be $50K/yr. If she then got a pay raise of $9/hr, that would be $34/hr, which is $68/yr. New nurses I meet at my hospital in South Texas usually start at mid-20's.
