Nurses Are Broke Vol 2| Why Are Nurse Broke| THE COMMENTS: 11 Reasons Nurses Are Broke

[@redrock740]

There is literally a line of broke men waiting to pick up their wives and girlfriends who work the graveyard shift every morning at my healthcare facility. These women are so broke, they share the fancy car with their man. They work extra graveyard shifts to enjoy fancy vacations with their man. They work extra shifts to gamble money with their man. When you ask them what their man does for a living they say, he is on disability, he owns his own business, he is retired, he is a student in school, he takes care of the kids and extended family. It's so sad to see how much these women give up, in order to have a broke man in their lives. Eventually you hear that the broke man was cheating on them, stole their money, divorced them and getting alimony/child support, or straight up ghosted them.

[@AccordingToTawanda]

It’s happening!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Lisa-kz7vw]

Lol I'm telling you everything you just mentioned I hear and have heard at every facility been a nurse almost 18 year's this is real yes everyone situation is different but just letting someone use you like that to be able to say I got a man it's sad I see someone who can't be alone it's really sad those nurses are never happy their usually very negative at work, moody or just rude hard to get alone with because their home life unstable.

[@redrock740]

@@Lisa-kz7vwThese nurses are beyond unhappy. They are downright miserable and exhausted. It is like their man is their pimp, hustling them for a bigger and bigger paycheck. Some of these nurses never take a day off. They work two jobs, and only take a day off if it is paid PTO.

I’ve been a RN for decades and I’m single as a dollar bill. Recently had a guy tell me he can no longer talk to be because of he doesn’t feel like a man even talking to me. He’s on very very hard times (getting groceries from the church, no car insurance, threatening repo, back child support, lost his job, etc). I just wished him well and pivoted. I’m not the Hope House, I’m not a “nurse with a purse” and I won’t be taken advantage of. I’m too busy trying to get these educational, personal and spiritual goals checked off. Sheeeesssssh!

Omg! The Starbucks! I’m a Case Manager RN and I ALWAYS see Starbucks, Jamba Juice, in the drink section. And when I go to the break room lol it’s like a smorgasbord! I make my own coffee and cook and bring my lunch. I’ve been a RN for years. I did have a bum fiancé when I was a new nurse and got rid of him. I stopped telling men I was a nurse when I first get to know them. When I tried online dating I had to take that I was a nurse out of my profile. I know several nurses who are the breadwinner and their husbands or boyfriends are stay at home dads or just stay at home period with or without kids. And oh my goodness I know several nurses who are paying alimony too here in California. I do travel a lot but I do it for business (I have several businesses for home decor) and it’s a business expense. I also do not work extra. I have several streams of income now in addition to my part time nurse job.

[@rubychew6535]

I worked at a technical school, and they had a two-year nursing program and the instructor said that men want to marry women who are nurses. There was a nurse who completed nursing school (the school that I worked at) her husband kept having her apply for different jobs and he would tell her that the job you have is not good enough for you. The instructor got tired of writing letters of recommendations for her. Her husband was using her.

She eats out all the time. Just bought a 6 bedroom home here in Florida. She drives an SUV and a Jaguar. She doesn't like to drive to her assignments so she flies to her destination and pays someone to drive the SUV. Then pay to fly them home. When the assignment is over she does the opposite. She flies back to Florida at least 1-2 times per month. Now she wants to do a girl's trip to Dubai! NOT ME GIRL! I got it but I have better things to do with my money.

I had a coworker last week with a Maserati truck ! I know a nurse who lets her deadbeat man drive her car and drop her off, then goes wherever. Also the expensive Figs uniforms. Too expensive and I don’t think the intent of the company was to market to nurses but doctors. The doctors don’t wear them. They wear old scrubs. Great videos and so accurate

I was getting my car serviced and I overhead a man talking about the fact that he drop his wife to work and pick her up. He was on the phone saying she was a nurse and she was so happy to give him money. He goes over to the side chick house all day and then go pick her up from work. I was so disgusted by him. But he’s not lying. I see the nurses outside work waiting for their man to pick them up with their cars.

[@MRyWil]

@@gmorris2891 i don’t know why women want broke men. A man MUST make at minimum double my salary or I wouldn’t even go on a date lol. These men make fools of these women just to say they have a man.

[@had123ish]

Tawanda…could you cover the legal documents that nurses need??? Like Wills, Power of Attorneys, Medical Directives, etc? Nurses need to do the adult things…get a financial planner, do estate planning, and make a money plan so they can live BENEATH THEIR MEANS!!! (We beggin’ for a Part 3)

[@AccordingToTawanda]

Will definitely add it in!! Thanks for watching ❤️

Please do a part 3!, I loved this! And it was eye opening as I'm an RN really willing to try to take back control of my spending habits, it's actually irresponsible and embarrassing at this point.

I loved this !! I am an NP driving an 11 year old car living below my means. The parking ramp is loaded w those fancy cars !! I think nurses have to keep in mind that the job is physically demanding a lot of times and you could get injured and then be stuck w all those huge debts. I think it’s wonderful to enjoy your salary but is it worth all those extra shifts and relying on OT which may not be avail ? Just a thought!!

[@AccordingToTawanda]

So true! People need need to be a little more cautious about spending hard earned money. Thanks for watching 😊

[@ebonyroddy4473]

It's funny when black women step out and get that bag 😂😂. All the black nurses I know have built business including myself and self -loving ourselves. Traveling, making our own schedules, living our best life and why they are counting our money. lol if I want something special financially, I can do numerous things to make a quick buck as a nurse ... Blessed is all it is. 🤑🥰 I say go get you a degree, a trade, start that business and don't limit yourself. People do assume when they see you living a lavish life, you have to be broke or financially uneducated. I lease a BMW every three years. I don't worry about Maintenace, I don't need take my car in they pick it up. My note is less than just about everyone I know with car headaches. I don't need to owe something the depreciates in value and I have to constantly spend on. Everyone reading, please don't believe that the goal is retirement, its freedom.

Maybe its because Nurses see Death on a regular basis, that it's something psychological to live in the moment and not save or wait til later for anything.

[@robgrant4265]

You are a Leader Ms Tawanda! You make a great wage! Most people live at their wage and or way above their means. Example: Buy a bigger house, a much nicer car, etc. Which uses up that great wage! What should be happening and requires discipline and consistency is living way below your wages and having more money to put into investment vehicles that can then give you much more options like..buying your independence back. Like taking a year off and doing what really stokes your fire. It could be as simple as working around your home for that year. Why, because you have no debt and your investments/savings are taking care of you. I tell my grown boys that only get into debt if that debt can make them money otherwise they become indentured servants to that debt. Its all about total freedom and giving yourself more options. Keep learning and leading.

[@AccordingToTawanda]

Rob, thanks so much for your kind words! One of the best things that I have ever done is to put myself in a financial position where I have been able to take extended career breaks throughout my life . It has proven to be PRICELESS!!
