I wasnt financial free as a nurse until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips would be appreciated

[@skoopqueen.]

@@eadad4371 Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.

I made 71k as a clinic nurse with 3 years experience in 2018 in Houston Texas. They offered me 69k and I said no, too low. Always counter, respectfully. I didn't like working 5 days a week. yes it's less physically taxing BUT you spend 9 hours a day (if I'm including my lunch break) at work plus driving to and from (my drive was short but still). I now work in the hospital setting. I am a M/S float pool nurse who works PRN. I get paid more to float, I get paid more for PRN. I make $47 an hour before my shift differentials. I think it's important we start talking about $$$ bc it only hurts us to keep it hush hush. we work hard, we should all be compensated fairly.

@@brenda-ff3ix at the first vax job they would have us drop in to two sites a day. Team consists of a covid tester, administration/sign in team, vaccinator (RN/LPN) and RN manager. Some sites were super busy (homeless shelters, detention facilities, etc) especially if we showed up with incentives (MetroCards) or if the facility provided incentives on their end (donuts/etc). You get the hang of it pretty quick, try not to worry. Hopefully you have a kind RN manager overseeing/assisting you. I now have another job...better pay, one main location so I have a predictable commute home now, and for the most part I work alone out of an office doing appointments only. Much more organized.

In Canada, Ontario specifically, the starting wage for any RN new grad working in a hospital is around $33/h. After 8 years (per the Ontario Nurses Association agreement) is an incremental pay raise of $47/h now in 2021. Then the wage stays at that amount for a long time. However, the more North you go in Ontario, the more money is offered especially because of the rural areas and the high need for nurses . Nurses can make what doctors make in wages. But taxes are heafty in Canada, because we do not have privatized health care.

@@Katherine_Ann We pretty much do the same obviously certain areas are higher pay like ICU and A&E and you get paid more if you work in the city. Being a higher band or specialising is what gets you more pay, yes that should correlate with skills but some juniors have more skills and experience than seniors in some cases. The average I would say is £23k to just over £25k in NHS (before tax ) increases by certain % but nothing noticeable for a few years. Private healthcare here pays higher as well as agencies !

Okay a bit of history (location South Midwest) i worked alzheimer's unit and hate mental health, worked MED/SURG and that is without a doubt the hardest area to work in, I did ICU and that is super easy cause their all sedated and you only have 1 or 2 patients, Worked ER that can be super busy using all your skills or nothing but crickets you never know. Pay at hospitals (33 to 40) is always more and you can get more overtime, If your a young person or a go getter type personality and want money than hospital is the place to be, remember the hospital never closes! Clinic is set schedule, relaxed, controlled, predictable, work with same employees and less employee turnover, closed on bad weather and disasters, yea it is 5 days a week no weekends or holidays, you lose skills. less money, but the stress level is not there and your happy and you don't take your work home with you. Clinic nursing is for nurses that want a environment that they can make money but not be stressed. (Clinic pay Low as 23 ((New Grad)) to up to 33.)

In the midwest (where the wages are lower) new grads start out at $27 / hr (recently increase to $29.)

[@NeuroNate24]

Hey Katherine cool video, nice job. I wanted to ask your opinion on this which some people may disagree with or not like. What field in nursing (outpatient only) can you come out with as a new grad making 90-110k/year? Assuming you want to work in California, Oregon, Colorado, or Nevada. Additionally, I know this may be a bit tougher since I want outpatient which means less pay and you can't do 12 hour shifts, thus no opportunity for overtime. The inherent structure of the work week within a hospital allows you to make more, but you may hate or constantly have anxiety or dislike what you're doing and I don't want that anymore since I'm almost midway through my life. Moreover, for salaries, even for the states you listed and the survey shown, that is grossly underpaid considering what you have to do. I would not work as a new nurse for less than 90k a year personally let alone after 5 years. My goal is to work an an RN for a year-two while going to NP school right after graduating. I would do both simultaneously ideally so getting the NP would be a part time student and take longer. I have a proclivitiy towards sports medicine, sleep medicine, potentially opthalmology, or cosmetic dermatology. I have no interest in pursuing bedside nursing after becoming an RN (things like blood draws, bed baths, transferring patients, setting up IV's, catheter insertion). Potentially just hands on skills like injections, or some light medication administration involving simple pills with no IV's/infusions or any of that. Thank you!

[@Katherine_Ann]

Hey there! Thanks for your question. The pay depends on a variety of factors as you know, with location being one of the biggest ones. I'm sure you're going to get paid significantly more in San Francisco, California compared to Reno, Nevada. As a new nurse, getting an outpatient job may also be more difficult. I wouldn't want you to necessarily steer yourself to a field that is just for the money, I would just focus on getting good experience and doing something that you enjoy while pursuing your NP. This will prevent burnout and you'll be making more once you get your NP anyway! Let me know what you decide, you're obviously very considerate with your options and I'd love to hear where you end up!

As a new grad ICU nurse in the NYC area, we make $50/hr for night shift!

[@Katherine_Ann]

That makes total sense, if I were still in PA I would be making 40+ an hour for ER nightshift but theres no difference in ICU vs MedSurg vs ER where I came from. It was straight across the board.

Anyone knows the usual rate in FL for RN and LPN in a hospital (new grads for both)? Thanks!

[@lovelyyuliaa]

Everyone makes so much. I'm 1.5yr into having my RN and I'm finally and only makes 36/hr. Before this I was offered 29, then 32. I feel so left behind. Rural illinois.

[@Katherine_Ann]

Thanks for your comment! I don't think that's bad at all after only being an RN for less than two years. I only made $26.10 my first year and was only making this amount I mentioned in the video after 5 years and moving to a high cost of living area. I would imagine $36 an hour for rural Illinois is pretty good!

[@angp2027]

6 years experience in central CA ...I make $49 in er. Outpatient is like $36 here(what I started off as a new grad). If you live in a bigger city area like bay or la you make a lot more.

Hi, did you negotiate your salary as a new grad? If so how did you know your worth?

Hi Charnise! I did not negotiate as a new grad as it was the same pay all of the other new grads were getting that I graduated with. Negotiation as a new grad comes when you have your evaluation!

[@mongoose.0819]

One of the nurses I used to work with said her new grad rate was $24/hr here in Louisiana. As she was leaving to go PRN her rate was $25/hr.

[@mongoose.0819]

6 years ago in Louisiana I started out in psych at $22/hr. Now I’m at a local ER in Louisiana and am making $31.70/hr. I really would like to move out into an urgent care or freestanding ER someday, I’m scared some of these outpatient jobs won’t pay what I need to, especially if I decide to move to Texas, where I want to go.

Out patient clinics in Florida are very low paying! Especially for eye surgery

[@Katherine_Ann]

I could believe that. Florida isn't known to have the highest paying jobs to begin with probably due to cost of living.

[@Yaowza1227]

I’ve been a bedside Med/surg nurse over two years and have an opportunity to potentially work in ambulatory surgery at a hospital. Anyone have any experience with this specialty and know if this is better and less stressful than being on the floor? I’ve heard and seen mixed things about this.

It probably depends on the hospital and how your unit is run as well as what your schedule is like! Stress can definitely be subjective.

[@Katherine_Ann]

Hi Ann! Thank you for your questions and video suggestions! I had several years of experience prior to working as an outpatient nurse, but it depends on the healthcare facility and the setting. I would just recommend doing your research on the specific kind of outpatient setting you want to work in and see what they require!

I do home care shift so I’m at my patients home 9hrs a day 5bdays a week and other week I do 6 and I’m on track to make 85k but with my agency I can make 6 figures because I can pick up hours hourly pay isn’t all nurse should look at you also gotta consider how much you like what your doing I’m not a facilities nurse so hospital and LTC isn’t for me I found my niche brand of nursing and I’m maximizing every bit of it. So many of my nursing friends are shock to know oh wait you can make this much in home care shift work not visiting I’m like yes but you have to put the hours in most of the nurse who work in nursing home shift do 60hrs a week now it sounds like a lot but 60hrs in home care shift isn’t the same physical and mental stress compared to 60hrs a week in a facility
