[@jnikz]

To anyone who wants to become a nurse, don't go to school in California. Go to Florida and finish your ADN for 20k in 2 years. Take your nclex for Florida B.O.N then endorse it to California B.O.N. You will get the same RN license for 100k dollars cheaper. This is a life hack not everyone knows about.

[@monicawilson8075]

I went to school in CA. I got my ADN at my local community college, with financial aid and scholarships, I didn't pay much at all. I worked for about a year or two, then went for my BSN also im CA. I worked and didn't need to take out a loan or anything, I don't remember if I got financial aid if I did probably not too much. No debt though. It can be done in CA.

[@jnikz]

@@monicawilson8075 Problem with community college is people are fighting for the same credits and classroom spots, sometimes you end up delaying because you have to be waitlisted. I tried doing it in las positas college and loss motivation so I did lvn private school first in fremont california, then went to rn school in florida while working as lvn full time. The pros of going to a private nursing college is convenience and time. Also it is designed to help you pass the nclex while in school rather than doing credits 1 by 1.

What a lot of home health nurses do once they get the hang of the work is get a fulltime HH job that pays hourly or salary, then get another per diem home health job that pays per visit. When the salary job gets slow or if a patient cancels a visit, you can pick up extra $$ working the per diem job.

[@DRventura333]

Becoming a nurse is a very rewarding job for the person who IS serious about Caring and Helping patients when they are in their most vulnerable state. The whole world needs very good and dedicated nurses who will treat the patient with absolute care. There are unfortunately many people who come into this profession just for the money and they don't care about the patient, as some mistreat the patient, and as we've seen in news reports, they actually take the patients life. Good information and we hope more good nurses appreciate the profession and not look at just the money aspect.

Everyone works for money. With that being said pivot your complaints to health insurance companies and hospital CEOs, they are making billions. Not nurses who make less than 1% of that

[@geenr9766]

Exactly. You work 8-3 and then you are not paid and work for free doing the documentation at home. So take the time you don't get paid post visits into calculating your actual per hour rate. Then you also get taxed on what you make and in NYC, you get rubbed on a massive scale ( 38% minimum) gets taken out of every paycheck.

[@pielai719]

What agency are you working now? I LOVE HOME HEALTH, but there are pros and cons with Home health.

[@beenthereworethat1603]

The downside is the long charting. It can be very long, particularly with wounds, however, once you get used to the Oasis, it’s faster. You will still be taking work home but it is 1,000 percent less stress and you are a resource for the patient and family once you get familiar with different services to help them. It is extremely rewarding. Love this vid. I typically alternate between travel ICU, HH and ER freestanding

[@cartermclaughlin2908]

I don't understand "getting used to the Oasis" Many ppl tell me they do the SOC in 1 hr, but I don't see how you can plan a through POC in 1 hr. I started HH out of school & over 10 years I only got slower as my assessment skill and understanding of medicare requirements grew. I see lots of "top" agency nurses visit 10 pts/day, dump time consuming wound pts on co-workers, and sit on months if incomplete documentation that is clearly fraudulent when they finally do it. I have never been able to DC one of these nurses' pt when I happen to cover for them - it's always a recert for 90% Dz process knowledge deficits. Maybe it's my ADHD, but I'm pretty sure anyone who can be a "FT" HH nurse in 40hr/wk MUST be negligent.

[@NursesToRiches]

I remember when I was working in NYC. I worked with a few nurses that were literally at work almost every single day of the year and when they told me they were making $180k/yr I was blown away because I thought that was a lot of money. That's until I moved to California and realized I could make $200k working less than 30 hours per week.

[@BigTroubleD]

@@NursesToRichescan you elaborate on how you make $200K under 30 a week?

[@supreme5998]

@@BigTroubleD he has videos that break down his pay. Basically in CA there’s overtime laws if you work over 8 hours a day, you get time and a half, so if you work 4 hours after the first 8 then those 4 are paid at 1.5x. He picks up hours on the days that he works. Also with his experience, his pay rate is over $86 an hour, and then at 1.5x that’s $129 an hour. So with 3 shifts a week he can work 28-32 hours a week and collect 1.5x pay on a third of that.

[@NursesToRiches]

I would personally choose nursing because the job opportunities are endless. And, how many Chief Physician Assistant Officers do you know in a hospital setting? The answer: none. There's a reason why hospitals have Chief Nursing Officers and not Chief Physician Assistant Officers. Nurses make up the bulk of the budget in most health care facilities. And, as a nurse you can make way more money than a physician assistant.
