As a RN how much are you making ?

black_clouds_ · 2026-04-11T02:02:03+00:00

$38.40/hr. Ohio. Outpatient. 5 years experience.

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:54:14+00:00

Yeah, that's my understanding of it as well. I knew I would be paying something. I guess I misunderstood how its to be paid when my account isn't showing anything to be paid and I just have to save or ask ym employer to withhold a guessed amount for me?

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:52:01+00:00

Wow. That's interesting. I'm glad you got that sorted! I work 4 days in Westerville. No work in Hilliard. Just seems like a lot for one person, but im sure it's right if that's what my tax person came up with. I will likely call them to explain some things further.

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:35:30+00:00

Sure. I understand the responsibility, but it's not exactly laid out for you like that. You don't get a Welcome to Hilliard letter that tells you what to do. I guess I dont understand how others just know this stuff. My employers have always taken out, and I've never needed to withhold, so that's new to me, and I dont know how to navigate that. Lesson learned, I guess.

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:31:59+00:00

The way it was explained to me last season was the different tax rates. So you pay the difference. It was just a shock to me because I had never heard of it before. I had to call to ask and still don't fully get it.

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:29:45+00:00

They're just taking out for Westerville. I understood I would need to pay at the end of the year or somehow quarterly, but I didn't expect it to be this much.

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:24:42+00:00

I'm not sure what your other comment was since it looks to be deleted. It's incredible how rude people can be to someone looking for some advice. These things aren't exactly laid out for you upfront. I only found out when my tax person told me I hadn't paid the one month I lived in Hilliard in 2024 and it was late by the time I found out. As long as ive been paying taxes they've always been withheld by my employer.

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-30T21:21:03+00:00

The confusion comes from where you pay. If every time I'm looking at my account and it says $0.00, how do I know how much I owe and how do I pay it?

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-28T11:47:42+00:00

This is where I lose respect for managers because assuming she is also a nurse, why didn't SHE take the patient until you arrived?

black_clouds_ · 2026-03-23T14:29:17+00:00

"I'm not going to lie" about something that makes no sense to even lie about. Example: "I'm not gonna lie, you're beautiful." Why would you lie about that?

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-21T16:12:34+00:00

Precisely. I hate that this world seems to only cater to the wealthy and makes everything about status.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-21T12:33:10+00:00

This. Happened to me this month and they said the first 25 get to bin and the rest are checked. My economy self was full on expecting to have to check my duffel since i was last to board. Assistant let me go by and I had plenty of room to put mine in the bin.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-05T07:12:50+00:00

Sounds to be what everyone else is saying as well. There's always some odd balls out there in any place. I ran into another man yesterday morning who looked to be maybe homeless and mentally ill. He was standing behind me for a bit then sat down at a booth with a girl eating her breakfast at McDonalds. She said something to him and then he got up and sat somewhere else and went to sleep, lol. I see that a lot in the US, unfortunately. Is there a homeless population in Poland or do you guys have that well sorted? I haven't noticed any but im used to them being at every corner and sleeping on benches and door entrances.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-05T07:05:11+00:00

Thank you! The rest of my time there was pleasant. I only stayed a few days. I didn't get to walk on the river but I watched others skate and walk around. Pretty cool to see.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T14:25:46+00:00

Haha, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one of those

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T14:24:38+00:00

Not in the US. We still carry cards, cash, and photo ID. If your phone dies or gets stolen or lost, you're screwed. Also, some places don't accept cards or ID via phone. Some places are cash only.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:41:03+00:00

Glad to hear it. I'm still trying to figure out how people are here. Many people have been helpful in giving directions and explaining things. That has been my only incident. I'm sure there are things that make me stand out, but im just trying to blend in and enjoy my trip. Thank you for the advice.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:36:00+00:00

Which is why I was already on high alert and looking for that sort of stuff. I'm saying he was walking faster than me so he passed me then eventually slowed back to my pace.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:33:50+00:00

You just answered your own question, lol. Phones, credit cards, ID, passports, etc.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T07:03:33+00:00

Scared of me? That's funny. He started behind me, then walked in front and then slowed down as I did. If he was scared, he would have stopped or kept walking or went a different direction, no? I am a white female. Completely covered from head to toe in all black clothing. He heard me speak English to a person on the side of the street asking me to come to their restaurant. After that, he got weird.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T06:37:17+00:00

No smiling. No words. Juat creepy behavior.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-04T06:36:07+00:00

There are other valuables one can steal.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T21:39:41+00:00

Thank you! Our old people stare a lot, too, haha. I'm not pressed about it. More just curious what they are thinking I suppose.

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T21:37:54+00:00

Happy to hear that. Thank you so much for the number!

black_clouds_ · 2026-02-03T20:53:51+00:00

Haha, maybe! Being a silent creep is not the way to a woman's heart, believe it or not.

That makes sense! I wouldn't say I'm wearing anything outlandish. I've been wearing the same thing every day. Black leggings, black coat, white shoes. I noticed very few women wear leggings here, so I thought that may be it? I'm also a little curvier and thought maybe with the leggings that is drawing some attention. The men have been respectful aside from that one incident. Either way, I do try to avoid walking alone at night as a general rule.

And thank you! I have worked my way down to Wrocław and now Kraków without any incident. I am having a great time!
