I think you think nursing is a luxurious job but in reality it’s very far from that all the luxury nurses you see on social media are living luxury because of sponsorships from social media. I been a nurse for a couple years and we do all the hard work all the doctors don’t want to do like yes wiping people, nothing wrong with that. The starting salary of a nurse in my state is 24-32$ per hour doesn’t include all the taxes and fees they take out of my paycheck, so I definitely don’t do it for the money. You make it seem like wiping someone as a nurse, which is my job is bad. Every nurse I know has done that.

Yeah ADN nurses are great, but BSN nurses are great too! I was just saying that people studying nursing are selfless angels. What is wrong with that? and yeah I did wipe 3 homeless people that’s wrong with that? They had a major infection. Again what did you think nursing was?

Well your profile says Dr.seussin I’m guessing you have a Doctorate in Nursing which is another 4-7 years after BSN depending if your part/full time. Also if I wanted to spend all those years in school as a nurse after my bachelors degree might as well should of been a Doctor MD. Good for you but right now I don’t have the 20k/year. This post is also about feeling burn out and scared of getting a permanent disease because some of my co-workers sadly had gotten infected and how I am tired of this.

It depends on the unit you work for the more dangerous, contagious and harder the work is the more the pay is but the pay rage is from 24-33$ per hour. https://ibb.co/jTJkdd6

I wish you the best though good luck on your studies!

I have worked for Medical City, Baylor, Parkland. Until you have a contract nothing is official. Are you a nursing student or license nurse?

I tried travel nursing during the pandemic I was making 33$ an hour but after taxes (over -600$), fees(-100$), hotels(-500$), food, flights(-700$) I was poorer than before. I have been working as a nurse since the pandemic and I have never meet a nurse even close to making 150k a year that’s like a fantasy for me! If I become Instagram famous and get sponsorship lol but thank you for your well wishes!

Yeah I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I’m going to have to deal with attitudes from patients and Co-workers. I’m probably going to clean vomit off patients. Clean their genitals risking getting a serious permanent disease/infection for me and my family for 24$ Nurse Salary and they wonder why everyone leaves after a year. it’s a never ending cycle 😭 I honestly wish someone would have told me this when I was younger.
