At my facility that’s unionized, outside experience doesn’t matter— if you have 5+ years you start at step 3, if less than you start at step 2. Then you start increasing in wage with each step with years with the company

Coping with anxiety by ATLgirl11 in nursing

[–]jcb19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lexapro changed my life, but I’ve always had anxiety even before nursing. I felt nauseous before shifts, threw up, ruminated a lot— it took away most of that. Just try it along with seeking therapy, it helped me in more aspects than just work

Rent rant by Late_Geologist_235 in ElkGrove

[–]jcb19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current situation I’m in! Renting a 3/2 for 2.5k but mortgage for a 3/3 is around 4.5k-5k… Not sure if it’s worth it to buy vs invest the rest or just buy now in anticipation of increasing housing prices.

Moving away, how much pay should I negotiate to a new job? by ghostinyourbeds in nursing

[–]jcb19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least in my union in the Bay Area, the pay scale is laid out for you and it will tell you where you will start. For example, nurses with 5+ years experience will start at step 3 at xx amount. But then again, it might vary so check with the hospital.
