I am retired RN/FNP 32 years. My piece of advice for newly graduate nurse. Don’t get overwhelmed. Take one day at time. Live with means. It’s not much you make but much you keep. Pay your student loan if you have any as fast as you can, start putting money aide for retirement, emergency fund, and investment.

Great advice!

Some nurses see hospitals as their end goal but I just want to shed some light on other opportunities in nursing. You also need to take into account your mental and physical stability when you work in hospitals. Home health in California pays 150-200$ per admission which takes 10-20mins, if you pick up 5 patients a day you can earn 1k a day. As a nurse, you have endless possibilities in this industry. Just find what gives you good money and stability in your life if you want to last for more than 10 years.

Hi everyone - thank you for the comments! Thank you Jason for sharing your knowledge and helping nurses get ahead 👌🏽. Also want to mention that I don’t work like this year around like some of my paystubs would suggest. I averaged 37 hours of work a week this year. There were a few months I didn’t pick up any extra hours at all working 24hrs a week. I used all my sick and Pto this year (25 days, and voluntarily took 2 weeks off work when census was low). Ca nursing has been great, not perfect.. definitely appreciative!

[@NursesToRiches]

Good point. The key takeaway is that as a nurse in Northern California you have the opportunity to earn a living wage and you can work as many, or as few, hours as you see fit. Keep it up Oliver!

Hi Oliver could you share more about your icu nursing experience, the learning curve, pros/cons, etc

[@oliverlikescheetos]

@@cutepinksocks ​ Hi! I did 1 year of experience at a level 1 university hospital in NC prior to moving back home to CA. Your first year as a nurse will be challenging! I recommend looking at teaching hospitals with established new grad residency program if possible. The learning curve in ICU is higher due to the acuity. You’ll be studying a bit outside of work and familiarizing yourself with the ICU. Pros: solid experience, cons: I disliked my toxic manager, almost quit a few times. I stuck it out. My experience my first year made me a better nurse and I am thankful for it.

Nursing salary in CA is the best bang for your buck considering the amount of schooling, loans, and income as a new graduate. Pharmacist need 8 years of schooling (4 years undergraduate + 4 years for doctorate + 1-2 years additional for residency if wanting to work in a hospital). Average student debt is 250k plus and starting salary is 150k. Kaiser definitely pays the upper end for pharmacist in CA. Pharmacy directors range between 180k low end to 250k higher end. Inspiring me to create some content about pharmacists salary. I've been fully focused on real estate currently.

This comment may get kicked out but here goes anyway. I will preface this comment by saying that I love being a Nurse. This is the most rewarding job I have had in my 30+ years of working. That being said, nursing can be extremely stressful, and I think that's across the board with all nursing jobs. It's nice to hear about nurses doing well financially and your channel is doing an awesome job of presenting that. But I still hear you guys talking about a lot of overtime. I'm 54 and have been a nurse for 14 years and I have no interest in working ANY overtime. I think anything over 40 hours for any person no less a nurse, is torture. I currently work Neuro ICU which is a whole nother level of kray because these patients can turn for the worst in a matter of seconds. I think there's a better way to be a nurse. Would love to come on the channel to discuss it. I have a link, but so as not to be spammy, I'll leave it out. Keep up the good work and I will definitely be subscribing to the channel. Thanks.

I agree with you on not wanting to work overtime. I burned myself out over the last few years from working too much overtime. I've settled on working 20 hours per week and I couldn't be happier.

I agree. This job is rewarding but brutal. It’s important that we enjoy the work we do and find a balance, too much of something can be bad. I also wouldn’t do OT at a high acuity trauma center or unit, it’s unsafe to me (I’ll start at Stanford icu soon). It really depends on the practice environment. Balance is key. As a perdiem, I hope to just work 2 days a week. It’s hard in this economy, and if we can front load some work to lighten future responsibilities so be it. Everyone has different tolerance for work. I’d rather do 1-16hr shift than come in to work 3 separate days to make the same pay.

Not to mention the mistakes made by over working yourself. The mistakes are what people won't mention

[@djbabygggudani7911]

Oliver,you are my kind of partner !!LIFETIME PARTNER…I’m so proud of your achievements and hard work….

[@shirnadasmith8667]

I'm so glad for your videos they have really opened my eyes when it comes to nursing as a career. I'm glad I came across your channel. I should be finishing up with school by next month. Im just hoping I get a chance to take my boards soon before the big change in the NCLEX. I screenshot 99% of the content you provide. Keep up the good work. Thank you

Nurses make about 70k a year. These people are targeting unionized hospitals with strange OT regs in high tax areas. The people being interviewed are not the norm in nursing.

[@benbauer769]

I am actually in the mist of doing the same exact thing. I’ve been a CVICU nurse for almost 2 years (nurse for 4). I am applying to Stanford and Kaiser. The main question I have is what are you doing for housing? Any suggestions for some affordable/clean/safe housing?

[@bluebirdstar249]

Great video,keep killing it Jason

[@NursesToRiches]

Thank you soooo sooo much! 🙏🏼

[@marcocuevas1927]

Thanks for the video. I can relate to Olivers story and sometimes question if nursing is for me! Graduating Dec 22 and found this video inspirational!

[@NursesToRiches]

Don't give up man. It'll be worth it in the end.

[@thuit77]

Such a great son!! God will bless you with many more wealth!!

[@NursesToRiches]

Yes, he is. Thanks for the lovely comment.

[@gif24gt60]

Some travel nurses are making $250/hr. Florence nightingale would be fuming. A lot of primary care doctors, pharmacists, and other medical tech jobs do not make anywhere near this.

He is a good man more blessings to him

[@sidandsof12]

Fantastic journey Oliver. You're an angel to your family. Love pupusas! With all the OT offered to current staff what is the likelihood of hiring per diem nurses at Kaiser? I'm an ED nurse out of state.

[@NursesToRiches]

Per diem positions are not as readily available as regular staff jobs that's for sure.

[@gemilyn6]

Just found your channel and I also work for KP, but in the PNW. I am dumb-struck that a nurse with 2 yrs experience makes $15/hr more than one with 34 yrs of experience! Great for you both, but super disheartening for me. AND our Kaiser big-wigs believe I'm over paid (and the rest of our nurses). Even our union dues are the same. Birthday day off?! I think I'll be sending a message to our union folks!

[@NursesToRiches]

Yeah, no kidding. We wish we could move to Seattle but the low wages there are holding us back.

[@Lola.y.KillaKash]

Thats the way it goes unfortunately...all the new nurses make more ..which socks and discouraging because you end up mentoring the new nurses

[@SILLYCATSY2310]

Am an international nurse. My nursing experience is more than 10 years in the neurosurgery department at Saudia Arabia King Fahad Medical Hospital. your KZbin videos inspire me. Am living in California Sacramento and looking for a job So I continue my nursing career.

You're welcome! And thanks for watching! Best of luck and stay positive!

The stress and bs and the level of burnout often make travel nursing more of a risk to your license than an enjoyable career path
