It is wonderful to discuss salaries. Employers love it when the pay is secret because then they can pay people less money. Being open and honest can help people get they pay they deserve.

Don’t pay attention to people judging you for saying how much you make. The people who make it such a secretive thing are old in their ways and have negative mindset. It doesn’t make anyone any less classy for saying how much they make. It’s transparent and helps a lot of people know if they truly want to pursue a career in the medical field.

[@greciaah]

Exactly ! 💯

[@greciaah]

@@wendygreene682 Of course it’s not but it also has to be considered just like any career.

[@sarachristine5305]

@@wendygreene682it still plays a role. I love nursing but I also need to survive. Also California pays more due to cost of living lol. Duh?

[@SierraLyn]

Thank you for your support🤍🤍

[@izabelw6142]

proud and happy to see new generations are coming in loud and proud to discuss this *oh-so-sensitive* topic as pay transparency, thank you for contributing

[@SierraLyn]

Say it louder for the people in the back👏👏💛

[@theclaamaterasu]

Thank YOU Sierra! You are doing God's work by being transparent with your pay! I am in nursing school now and will be applying to RN positions this upcoming summer!

[@theclaamaterasu]

This is so empowering for us so that way we are empowered to negotiate and not be taken advantage of, we must unite together!

[@luv2cruise80]

Nothing wrong with discussing salary! With all the hard work you put in, you deserve it! With inflation on the rise, this info is helpful knowing that we make enough money for rising rent costs.

[@kinzefreiatg3351]

Thankyou so much! As a teen trying to figure out what to go to college for this was very helpful❤️❤️

Thank you so much!

Thanks so very much!!!! You are really sweet to be so honest!!!!!❤❤

Love incredible health actually. I have the app downloaded. I’m a new grad NICU nurse in LA and when I was job hunting there were helpful resources there. Also, love the pay transparency.

[@incrediblehealth]

We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the app and found it useful in your job search! 💙

[@marsha008100]

Thank you for sharing. This was very helpful 🙏🏾

[@JuliaHansen-lv2bx]

Wait a minute. Even at $26 an hour working 40 hours a week as a caregiver with taxes taken out..I am netting around 3.6k. How do you make barely 5.5k a month on a high salary? It truly seems like if you make more you are just robbed of it 😢 you deserve so much more

[@sarahsselection]

Crikey, well done! The pay for a nurse in England~ particularly one fairly new to the industry~ is not even half that salary. Crazy to think how little nurses in England are rewarded, but happy you're paid properly. Most nurses are incredible & deserve to be handsomely rewarded ❤

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Sierra happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@TeddyD4]

Thank you for the transparency! Nurse salary varies sooooo much. I get some people live in higher cost of living areas but the work as a nurse is still the same!

[@SierraLyn]

Amen!

Thank you so much!! Currently in nursing school and its so hard to find salaries. I just interviewed for a student nurse position at the VA and still dont know what they offer, but hoping to hear soon!

[@SierraLyn]

Absolutely! Also that's so exciting, congratulations!

[@sybelausia317]

This is really helpful, especially since you live in oregon like me. 😅 im starting my pre reqs in january for nursing school.

[@SierraLyn]

So excited for you!!

[@noellechang4035]

Missed seeing your videos!! I’m currently doing my prerequisites for nursing school and your videos are so motivating. If there is a low census and you’re working your assigned shift can you still be sent home? And does it affect your pay? Thanks!

[@taylercornelius9011]

Yes, at least in the ER where I work if there is low census then you can be sent home even if you didn’t pick it up as an extra shift. And then you would get paid less than usual, as you would not be paid for the time you aren’t working. HOWEVER, that rarely happens because there are always people who want to go home early that day, and even if u do have to go home you can use your PTO or floating holiday pay so it’s no big deal. That being said, since starting in the emergency room I have never had to go home early unless I requested to.

[@user-xj6fi7be9q]

So pretty!! 😀

[@angeliquemaez5569]

Thank you! I’m considering going back to school to be a nurse. I have degrees but now I have a kid and I need to be sure my TIME and MONEY spent going to nursing school would actually be worth it!

[@taylercornelius9011]

Definitely don’t go into nursing if it’s just money you are after, it is a hard profession. It is something you have to have a passion for. However, I do have that passion and yes in my eyes it’s more than worth it hands down no questions asked. I love what I do and it’s who I am is a nurse… that is everything to me and I could never work anywhere else or do anything else

[@tobiaugustin485]

You should make a video for for new grads starting the in the ED… I may or may not be starting in the ED soon!

[@SierraLyn]

AHHHH! That's so exciting!

[@oyato1]

What was the hourly n how much hours u worked ?

[@MuhammadZama]

nice post

[@paolacuriel6570]

Can you maybe do a budget with me or what I spend as a RN?

[@SierraLyn]

YES!! I plan on starting a monthly series in January!

[@amyg8761]

Interesting video thanks. Off topic- any chance of a new apartment tour?

[@SierraLyn]

Ooooh! Maybe once it's completely furnished YES!

[@luv2cruise80]

With rent being so high in many areas, that is pretty good. To get a nice apartment in the Northwest is approx 2500 minimum and let alone all other expenses that have gone up with inflation. I'm in Florida and its not uncommon to see billboards for homes starting at 800k.

[@Ghostfriend7100]

Especially with everyone wanting income to be 3x the rent!

[@luv2cruise80]

@Ghostfriend7100 this is why im moving to Kansas because the rent is dirt cheap!

[@JordanRahul]

Is that how much you made for normal shift or for all the extra days you picked up

[@taylercornelius9011]

What is your hourly pay, then? WOW that is crazy good money. I have been an RN for almost 8 years and I am working in the ER as well… and my base pay is 52.50 or something like that and then I get 4/hr for night shift and 2/hr for weekends. So I make 56.50 or 58.60 an hour which is actually pretty good I thought. I’m in Minnesota. But, I usually take home anywhere from 2500 to 3500 every 2 weeks or 5,000 to 7,000 a month so I think we make a similar amount. I guess you did pick up 2 extra shifts though, lol I NEVER work more than 72 hours a pay period/36 hours a week.

[@emilymckay1937]

Thank you for sharing! I am in North Dakota working as a pediatric home care registered nurse for over 2 ish years. Started as a new grad because Covid 😂 so so so happy with my specialty. I definitely sacrifice pay, but I never work nights, weekends, holidays, and have a set schedule every week. My hourly is 32.86. What state are you in?

[@SierraLyn]

Thank you for sharing Emily & also your career sounds amazing, thank you for all you do! I live in Oregon:)

[@taylercornelius9011]

Oh that’s why you are paid so well as a new grad… OREGON! lol between Oregon, Washington, and California those are the highest paying states for nurses. Then there are places like Colorado where I just moved from where cost of living is just as high as those states but nurses get paid only half. Moved to Minnesota and cost of living is the same as Colorado and I actually got a 15 dollar an hour pay raise. Yes that is true… if you want a Cush schedule you generally sacrifice on pay. But that’s why nursing is such an awesome career field to go into… something for everyone! I would/could never do home health I think I would be way too bored. I also don’t think I would want to do pediatrics.

[@emilymckay1937]

Also I don’t think bedside pays much better here. A classmate during Covid worked in the ICU for 28 something an hour. It helps to share and to know what to look for

[@emilymckay1937]

@@taylercornelius9011 home care is not boring! Especially with kids. They change so fast. I like the routine and family centered care but you have to stay on your toes. I’m the first one who sees anything that should be looked into. It’s not a specialty to look down on at all 😊 I wish it was talked about more in nursing school!

[@Mel79439]

Yeah I need to be a nurse. I just don’t know where to start.

[@taylercornelius9011]

Go talk to an advisor at a community college and find out what pre requisites you need and start those, then apply to a nursing program after that. Take your NCLeX and boom u are a nurse

[@dddaaa6965]

:( I’m interested in becoming a nurse but I don’t see how that’s a livable wage alone, this is so scary, I’m scared of throwing the rest of my life away but no matter what field I look into it’s just mounds of people saying to do something else or not making enough to be comfortable

[@taylercornelius9011]

Wtf are you talking about lol. That is plenty to live off of, where the heck do u live

[@jasmineartis5754]

dddaaa6965 I’m in the military (navy) if you really want job security look into it. I’ll do 20 years as an officer and I’ll never have to work again, if you’re a nurse you can be a nurse and still get your retirement (military retirement especially offficer retirement is nothing to sneeze at)

[@alexcyabasilio8547]

Which state does she work in?

[@briannguyen4078]

Wow… half of it is already gone. That’s what makes me always worried due to my 100k student loan

[@nilleyi2231]

Do you get paid weekly or biweekly? This info is so important, in particular to compare pay between states

[@taylercornelius9011]

She said bi weekly

[@Angelica-xh5zw]

Would you be able to share (or even reply here) what your paycheck looks like without working any overtime? Thanks!

[@SierraLyn]

Unfortunately I tend to always pick up overtime shifts due to the incentives but yes I definitely will in another video soon!

[@taylercornelius9011]

It would be a lot less I’m sure

[@VanessaDiazKratky]

Is $5200 for the month right so the amounts were for two paychecks ? Thank you for this!!!

[@SierraLyn]

2 paychecks equating to a month of pay!

[@user-ui1zv8bd4y]

What I earned as a nurse 40 years ago is nowhere close to what new nurses make. It helped me always help my family so I am grateful I always had work. Also big differences in different parts of the USA. I had to work rotating shifts 8 hours 6 weeks each, every other Fri Sat Sun Mon. My base pay was 9.85/hr with a BSN. I.50 night differential, 0.75 weekend Friday and Saturday after midnight. There WAS a nursing shortage not many foreign students going into nursing. I was hired into ICU/ transplant unit so was very grateful for extremely thorough classes and clinical training. Thats why it does not help to talk about pay. It cannot and will never be the same to expect. Definitely not a profession I went into for the big bucks.

[@kamran6336]

Then you have to pay federal and state income taxes at the end of year. Ugh.

[@dominiquesanchez9888]

Absolutely no disrespect to you girl or your channel cause I love your content! but it literally blows my mind that we live in a generation where people think it's okay to share things like this? Idk I just grew up & taught where money and finances were no one's business but your own and w your significant other

[@sarachristine5305]

That is a very old fashioned ideology. That’s why employers were able to screw a lot of people out of proper pay because everyone was so hush hush about stuff. Also she’s sharing things about nursing. When I was in nursing school I would’ve loved to have someone tell me the details of things. I didn’t know all that much BECAUSE of ideas like yours. People go to school for years just to not know what they may make after graduation? Stupid. Your generation is the same one that complains about kids going to college then not knowing how they’re gonna survive after since everyone is so secretive.

[@greciaah]

Yea it’s another generation alright lol. I don’t think it’s a big deal for her to share earnings for a month. Her pay can fluctuate depending on some things this is just an example for some of us that want to know as myself looking into a different career in the medical field. Statistics vs hearing it from an actual nurse. I appreciated this information.

[@Angelica-xh5zw]

It absolutely is okay to share these things as it's HER paycheck therefor her choice. She's not sharing your paycheck is she?

[@kelseyrowan9393]

You make far less because the cost of living in Florida is far lower . I’m an ICU nurse making $100 per hour in the northeast and I’m pretty classy …

[@kristinshaw7557]

It blows my mind people STILL think discussing pay is taboo. Bet you don't share recipes either 👎👎
