you are wise to adjust it to inflation. $50/hr is really $25/hr today. For the trouble nurses go through the pay should be at least $200/hr and more

Girl I'm a Respiratory Therapist and I'm considering becoming an RN. We are so undervalued and disrespected in the hospital. I have NPs giving me ventilator orders and they don't even understand how the different modes work! And don't want to be educated on ANYTHING. I don't want to leave the medical field because we need more black people there, but chile the bs is TAXING

It was the lack of respect. My first year got yelled at by a doctor at change of shift ( I was coming on, had no idea what was even going on yet), and was yelled at by my preceptor on my second day because I helped a patient to the bathroom before giving insulin ( insulin wasn't due yet, pt was fine, vitals and all). It was a culture shock to me coming from a business office to the hospital. The unprofessional way they talk to each other. It wasn't worth the money to me. I didn't leave nursing fully, I just left the bedside and work from home now. So you don't have to leave completely, but just try to find a place you are respected, at least!

I think a lot of us feel like this. My two big reasons for wanting to leave both are about safety. I worry I'm going to be harmed either not purposefully by a patient but just by the nature of them being very large and big and there not being proper equipment/staff to help them or purposefully experience a violent patient/family member in which case the hospital doesnt do much to protect us. There are so many things I can deal with in this field but my health and safety have to come first if I'm gonna keep doing this.

No one even takes a second look at you without 2 years experience outside of certain areas. *sigh*

Try using some PTO and taking care of yourself. It seems you’re experiencing symptoms of burnout. Bedside is hard on mental health from all the politics and stress. On another note, advancing to your BSN can give you options outside of bedside or even help you transition to another career in healthcare.

I'm not sure if you said in the video you get $70 an hour at the Hospital. But if you looking for a different job that pays around 10k a month then you should apply to director jobs at the nursing homes or facilities. Or even get into HR director and they'll just like you because you already have your nursing license. Also maybe getting your personal care administrator license. They also pay nice. It's all about selling yourself with that nursing license.
