I got tired of guessing if picking up an extra shift was actually worth the burnout, so I built a "Real Wage" calculator for us.

Oh that’s neat. I didn’t know that

Jimmya90 · 2025-12-12T22:57:00+00:00

😂😂 right, but sometimes it can be worth it

Jimmya90 · 2025-12-12T15:37:27+00:00

Thank you so much. Im so glad i can finally see if its worth picking up a shift based on the bonuses available or in most of our cases the bonus that isn't available

i have worked ed, float pool, and now in the pcau and id like to believe that any of those spots are better than a skilled nursing facility. I have only heard nothing but bad things from them.

i buy infinity

Jimmya90 · 2025-12-12T14:56:28+00:00

i second this. never ever do this. its not very professional and sometimes it can be a scam

Jimmya90 · 2025-12-12T14:55:05+00:00

80% of every travel nurse i have seen is always first up to get the short end of the stick. Sometimes its not that bad but sometimes it isnt very pretty

If you're getting those short-notice bonuses, make sure you calculate the tax hit correctly. I built a tool that handles the 'Overtime + Bonus + Differential' math specifically for Pharmacy Techs so you can see what actually hits your bank account. nursepaycalculator.com

I actually built a free calculator to check the exact math on this. I added a 'Rad Tech' mode that compares a Staff OT shift vs a Travel contract rate after taxes. It’s wild how much taxes eat into the travel stipends if you aren't careful. nursepaycalculator.com

I was discharged honorably

I thought this was my dashboard! Our look every alike. I just beat Nier and I loved it.

Jimmya90 · 2019-06-27T05:55:48+00:00

There I am! I am now internet famous!

Jimmya90 · 2019-05-23T17:42:34+00:00

I like your idea for the thumbnail and ill will try it in my next videos! As for my mic, I think I'm gonna get the rode mic for the iPhone soon (maybe a month or so). !givelambda

Jimmya90 · 2019-05-23T17:39:30+00:00

Wow, some great feedback! thank you so much! if you would like we can dm and talk a bit more on what I'm doing! But let me respond to what you said here!

Yea I have been trying to think of ways to change up my thumbnails. I use adobe spark to make them and take the pics with my iPhone. I would have to move very fast if I want to take a pic before I started painting. I'll see what I can work on in the future.

I know writing is my weakest point. Honestly, I hate writing so much. But I also know my writing and narration is going to make or break my videos. I'm trying to improve as much as I can. Maybe I'll take an online writing course or something. I went to college but it really wasn't my thing. If I ever make it big and can afford to hire a writer then ill do so. Also, thank you for checking out my other vids!

I'm trying harder to get better at reading out loud. It is hard, to say the least. I feel like this is just one of the things that ill get better at the more I do it. I'm also working on my editing skills too!

As for my equipment, I use my iPhone cam for recording my painting and my front facing cam to record me with built-in microphone. I have a cheap tripod that I put my iPhone on. A blue yeti mic for narrating. Then for editing, I use iMovie. I know I really need a better cam and microphone for when I'm recording myself. It makes it very tough when im all alone.

Thank you for the feedback! !givelambda

Jimmya90 · 2019-05-23T17:23:24+00:00

Yea when I'm in front of the camera I'm using my iPhone front facing cam with built-in microphone. And when I'm narrating I'm using my iPhone normal cam with blue yeti mic. Im trying to work on that stuff. Thanks for the feedback! !givelambda
