US nurse or UK nurse? What will you choose? US vs UK

[@jayrhampas86]

No regrets when I moved here in the US from Ireland. Pay is a lot lot better. I'm living a much comfortable life. In Ireland I don't have any health insurance. I always pay out of pocket everytime I have to see my GP. But here starting day 1 you are covered already with you employer's health insurance. Workload is a lot lighter here. You work as a Nurse. In Europe you can be an Aide and Nurse at the same time. When it comes to medication administration US is way ahead in terms of technology. We have computer on wheels, we just scan the medication barcodes, scan the patient's ID band etc so less medication error. In Europe you have to manually sign the MAR sheet. We have Respiratory Therapist here so we don't have to worry about nebulization or any respiratory treatment unlike in Europe and Philippines. We have more autonomy here in the US when it comes to nursing procedures while in Europe there are some nursing procedures that you cannot do. Like IV insertion, NGT insertion etc... US has 50 states its like having 50 countries merged into 1, its a land of endless opportunities.

If you work thru an agency here in the U.S., your vacation time is limited, but if you were hired directly by the hospital, it depends on the time you have accumulated. So it means if you have a lot of time, you can go on vacation for a whole month or more. That's paid vacation. I'm from NY, nurses here make an average of $120,000.00 with you're same experience. That's just one job. They get a second job because they only worked 3 days per week (12 hr shift).

Interesting, I was born and raised in the U.K. but moved to the US many years ago. The reason medical personnel make more money in the US is because healthcare is so expensive here. In the U.K., the taxpayer basically supports the system. In the US, you have to have insurance because the cost of a doctors visit or medical procedure is so high. Many people in the US just work for the medical insurance.

Hello! Thank you for posting this on your channel. Its very interesting to watch as I agree on so many things that were discussed in the video. I was born and raised in the Philippines but my family moved to California, USA when I was 14 yrs old. I am currently in college now taking up nursing and currently working as a nurse assistant. I am planning to moved to the UK after getting my BSN. Many has discouraged me to pursue my goal kesyu daw walang sweldo ang nurse sa UK, sayang ang course mo, and etc. But you know, not everything is about money. Yes mas mataas talaga ang sahod ng USRN compared to UKRN but they don’t have a life. All they do is work and so they are so burnt out at the end of the day. Work balance is not part of their vocabulary. On top of that healthcare care is astronomically so expensive. Hindi kaya ng konsensya ko ang gumamot ng pasyente knowing na mababaon sila sa mga bills pag-uwi. Atleast pag sa UK, my patients will go home with peach of mind because they dont have to worry about medical bills. Mas makakatulog ako ng mahimbing.

Once EU govts start applying austerity measures like in France a few months ago, riots will ensue. In US, it is more balanced and we also have 11 paid holidays and plenty of vacation days too in US, 4-6 weeks once accumulated. if you work a holiday in US, it is DOUBLE pay. Many US RNs work for US or State/County govt too for same leave benefits like NHS but much higher pay. Traveling and vacations are NOT fun when you do not have much money in your pocket and cannot save for retirement. Think long term, US is best for type A personalities who are driven to succeed.

I believe America is better for nurses than anywhere else in the world.

[@paengguin9381]

@@maretvilla1531 I totally agree with you. Healthcare in UK and Canada are not free, they pay high taxes to fund their BASIC rationed care with waiting lists for specialists and surgeons. Their basic care is fine but for specialist care and surgeries, US has the best doctors because the best come from all over the world to work in US due to high pay. Plus US has Obamacare now so people who do not make much are subsidized by the govt or Medicaid, free to almost free medical and dental. Poor and disabled have free Medicaid(dental and medical) and over 65 have Medicare in US. Almost everyone is covered in US now because of Obamacare, some people choose not to be covered and would rather spend their money on material possessions. Bills and healthcare premiums/co-pays are NEGLIGIBLE, US nurses do not worry about it because they make great money in US. CNA salary in US is better than UKRN salary. NHS nurses have been moving to US and Australia in DROVES for better pay and working conditions. Dental/vision/pharmacy and are covered in US, not fully covered in UK and Canada, they pay for meds, dental and eyeglasses. People are just envious because they cannot work in US. It is possible to retire early in US in your 30s, 40s or 50s with good financial planning, cannot do that in UK or Canada because their respective govts suck more of their money through high taxes and VAT. How can one save/invest in UK and Canada? Professional Canadians and Brits come to US to work for more money and a more secure future for them and their family. Period.

But in terms of benefits you cannot compare it to Europe . Its way way more better specially here in Germany I have 36 days Vacation leave in a year + additional 2 days more because of graveyard shift.

I’m a nurse RN here in California l just retired from 2 companies state and county the salary is better n the retirement wise is the best l will recommend US as good destination for RN

[@paengguin9381]

Very true, working for the Federal, State, County or City govt is great because of pensions. I agree with you, I am triple-dipping and still have monthly Social Security and 401K payouts to collect in the future, 5 checks total when I hit 62, could delay SS until I hit 65 or 67. *If a nurse wants to make a lot of money and join the upper income class or get rich and retire rich or comfortably with no worries, work in USA. If a nurse is content with middle class life and a small house/car and small pension in the future, work in UK.* MOST nurses prefer USA because there are plenty of educational and FLEXIBLE job opportunities for them, they do not just work in hospitals, some nurses are in schools, outpatient clinics, in health informatics, some work for health insurance companies, some work as advice nurse via phone only or do quality/case management only or utilization review making BIG BUCKS. Some US nurses work form home. US nurses mostly work 72 hours per week so there is PLENTY of time for leisure.

[@ceciliaquiocho4169]

paeng guin l have all those quadruple dipping as you mention you don’t have to wait for 65 yrs to collect your sss since you work with the govt its long story to explain check with sss. I am just proud that I’m retired n knows how to invest for my future as well as for my family. If all RN knows what to do not just atm you are one of the lucky person too congrats.

[@paengguin9381]

@@ceciliaquiocho4169 Congrats on completing a successful career! Your smart investing and saving have paid off for a nice retirement with no money-worries. You are set for life. I understand. 62 is early retirement with SS. Even younger if deemed disabled by SS, disabled get paid SSDI (Social Security Disabled Insurance). US is best for nurses, hands down. I know retired military nurses who are Quintuple dipping: military retirement, federal pension, VA disability, SS, and TSP(govt 401K). 5 checks per month for life. NOT possible in UK or anywhere in the world.

Australia is way better when it comes to pay and benefits!

People can afford to get brand new car while in Uk it is hard .houses here are way bigger and lifestyle way better. work wise when i was in uk the ratio is tough!! Here 1 nurse 4 pts or sometimes 3 when i was in uk when u call in sick in the morning about 2 pm they are already calling you to ask when your coming back ...not something you need when you’re sick.here in Australia they never call u they will wait for your call.

I think he did not have enough years of experience working in the US as a Staff RN, he works as a Registry Nurse hired by an agency to work for a certain hospital. He did not mention if he was employed by a Government Hospital or a Private Hospital. He mentioned., NURSES in the US work 2 jobs coz daming gastusin., it is your option if you want., for full time 12 hrs shift., you only need 3 shift a wk., that means 12 shift in a month., anything you want to do sa days na off ka., 2nd job if not OT once a week., or stay home. You got 18 or 19 days OFF to spend with your family and balance the life. At the same time you got your annual leave 5 weeks or sometimes more basta approve ng manager mo.

When i was working in Saudi Arabia i know each Countries Salary Saudi Arabia pays zone1 like a US pay.I have a friend on british passport he knows my salary as American is higher than him.Not all nurses from the Philippines passed NCLEX so they go to facility or home health Nursing.Pay is low in that place.If The RN with experienced is paid 37 to 60 dollar per hr then the hospital is a tertiary hospital.

[@valerieragual8562]

You are right about that. 3 daysx 12 hours in the US is what we really need as fulltime. Ive noticed US nurses work 2 jobs or more because we ought to give in to consumerism unfortunately. That's what i have been trying to tell myself for 5 years as an RN: work life balance if we choose to. Less material things, less stress, and more vacation.

[@youssefmohamed-rm3zo]

Would you recommend Australia for nursing jop or other places

[@nicotin1606]

In Kuwait other nurses are paid almost 100,000 pesos, tax free, with over time pay, free house, electricity, water, and food allowance, sooner there will be a health insurance, usually the house is just near the work place so less in transportation fee. There is an annual leave pay, free ticket if you want to go home after 2 years, or if you still want to work and stay you can too. Can save good money and go home for good in the philippines after a few years. All goverment fees like SSS are paid in person to be used when it comes to retirement as well as the life insurance. But of course it still depends on the person whether he/she wants to have a residency or become an immigrant in the UK, or in the US or any other country he/she can do so. Here it is also possible to take IELTS and NCLEX if you want to do cross country. Based on my experience my life here in the middle east is way better, able to save, and can retire with good money.

But most of the high salaried nurses in the US like agency, travelling, and PRN nurses have no paid vacation and sick leaves, or if there are, very minimal paid vacation and sick leaves.

[@dabz3456]

I also think US will outshine every other countries on your list when it comes to salary. However, when it comes to the overall quality of life, I think the UK and all the other countries mentioned will take over the crown. There is a reason why safety nets for UK, AUS, and Canada are the best among the rest. Also, let us not forget about the incredible healthcare available in UK. Compared to the US, health problems might give you immense financial burden. Let us not forget that life is not all about money. Live, laugh, love. Cheers mate!

It’s true nurses in the US are paid more then if you do agency,more money,but the quality of life here is so stressful specially if you live in a very high populated city such as NYC,I think the quality of life in the UK is more ok ,more vacation time while here in the US two weeks a year which is nothing ,if you go home for a vacation in the Philippines.

[@manonggeorge]

[@tatianaseraspi447]

As far as vacation is concerned, it really depends. In our hospital we have Paid time off and it is cumulative. I usually get as much vacation time of up to one month as long as your PTO hours is enough. So it really varies. In fact, it can even be more than a month as long as approved din ng boss or director. I guess different hospital varies in their policies/benefits.

US is just a status symbol...and i travelled to US for than a dozen times for Holiday.Settled in the UK for 20 years as a nurse and i have no regrets.If your main driven force in your career is Money, then you work for money. Money is always important, but the work you perform is the most important. Every employee who has quit a job in frustration knows the importance of enjoying their line of work. Let’s face it, there ARE a few positions that you wouldn’t do no matter the salary. Watched any episodes of Dirty Jobs recently? There's more to life than money...UK is the best in terms of benefits, i rather stay here with my family because the social fabric of US is much divided and lots of discrimination.NHS is envy to the rest of the world, because Healthcare in the UK can be access whether your are Rich or Poor.lets face is America is not great now...and UK is stable and pro worker.

I was given opportunities to work in UK and Ireland before. I chose Ireland coz they pay better and base sa experience salary mo. Both have free healthcare but anlalaki ng tax. I took NCLEX in 2018 and luckily get a job in 2020. Im under agency but I almost earn 2300-2500 usd after tax every 2 weeks. How much more wala ka na sa agency. Medyo malaki kesa sinasahod sa ireland but wala ka masyado annual leave if under agency ka. But u can have 5 weeks minimum if regular ka na. Not too bad. Me mga magnet hospitals that can sponsor ur tuition fees if u want to achieve a promising nursing career like NP, PA, or nurse faculty (free tuition under NFTP) Health insurance not too bad.. maliit lang nman binabayaran.. Ung copay na sinasabi ni kuya is depende yan sa insurance... usually free nman hospital bills after u maximize ur deductibles which is normally 3k lang nman... Me kilala ako same kmi insurance bill nya is 150k binayaran nya is 3500 lang. Then waiting times is less.... Asikaso ka kaagad. Pag sa OR ka ok din mga oncall ksi mlalaki din premium and overtime and oncall/callback pay. Tsaka mganda system dito, computerized lahat.... U can have a quality life din nman dpende on how u decide on it.... If u work hard here in america, u will be rewarded big time. mga kilala ko pinoy 15 years tapos na mortgage....
