    @Del Hiestand pointed out that I forgot Alabama. Dang it, he’s right! I knew I was going to hate myself for missing something, I had 50 cities in my list, thinking I had them all, but now I realize that the reason why I have 50 is because I included Washington, DC even though it isn’t a city in a state. But thanks for bringing up Alabama. Montgomery, AL is actually the highest-paying city in Alabama. The median home price is $110,430, the monthly mortgage payment on a house of that value would be around $504/mo, the yearly payments would amount to $6,048. With that taken into account, and after taxes are deducted, the nurse working in Montgomery, AL would have $42,095 let over on a yearly basis, and would be spending 14% of their income toward their mortgage. This would also put this nurse at the same level as the nurse working and living in Charleston, WV.

    I have my sights set on Seattle. One of the highest RN salaries and no state income tax. Sure, higher sales tax and a high cost of living... but the nature and adventure up there cannot be ignored!

      We did also consider Seattle for a while because of its beautiful landscapes and it being one of the coolest cities we've been to, but ultimately we settled with Sacramento because we're really just looking to have our money go the furthest and lead us to retirement sooner.

      @@NursesToRiches do you think it’s possible to move to California as a new grad nurse from CT? Or should I work first then try to move? I can’t stand the cold, it affects me mentally😩😩

    • @NursesToRiches
      @NursesToRiches  2 года назад +2

      If your that adamant about leaving Connecticut then you should come visit California first so you can take a look at the different cities here. Once you find a city you would like to work in, apply to every single hospital in the area (or the areas surrounding the city). You could get a job as a new grad if you're not picky. After you work for 1 year, you can apply to any hospital you would love to see yourself working in, and you'll have a much easier time getting in with 1 year of experience under your belt.

    Very good information and fortunately being a nurse allows me to commute from a much less expensive area to the more expensive town the hospital is located in therefore increasing my net gross income well beyond what you have computed here. I live in Michigan & work in Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is super expensive but there are surrounding towns that are affordable so working in Ann Arbor pays well but we don't have to live there & pay those crazy high home prices.

    • @NursesToRiches
      @NursesToRiches  3 года назад +7

      Living in NJ is a double-edged sword. NJ has the highest property tax of any state in the country. Even though you are able to purchase a home much cheaper, you still have the high cost of property taxes that pretty much takes away from the "benefit" of being able to buy a cheaper home. And, there's also gas and bridge/tunnel tolls that add up over time and you have to take into consideration.

    • @cristinegil2270
      @cristinegil2270 3 года назад +2

This might be hard to quantify but would it be possible make a video comparing travel nursing salary vs Sacramento or other top tier cities pay-wise. Would you guys ever consider travel nursing? Or is the stability ,consistency, benefits etc of nursing in Sac better than the volatility of being of travelers?

    • @NursesToRiches
      @NursesToRiches  2 года назад +7

      Travel nursing is not for everyone. If you take everything into account (pension, paid time off, sick time, 401k options/match, health insurance, and everything else that comes with being a Kaiser staff RN) we would always be more inclined to take a Staff RN position at Kaiser than a travel RN position anywhere else. I work with many travelers who have chosen to sign up with us permanently because they have told us they make more money now as staffed Kaiser nurses than they ever did as travelers.

      Oh, man. The same could be said about the Kaiser I work in and every other Kaiser. I've told another commenter in a previous video that this is the only hospital I've worked at where my relationships with my coworkers feel more superficial than any other place I've worked. My coworkers here seem more like acquaintances than family. When I worked in NY and in Sutter Roseville everyone felt like family. I think part of it has to do with the fact that Kaiser is like a machine-we come to work to get patients in and out as quickly as possible, not time to socialize.

      The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects income data from every nurse in almost every city in the US. The income data they received from nurses in both of those Colorado cities shows that nurses in Boulder Colorado are earning more per year than nurses in Denver. However, there could be a few reasons for this: 1. Nurses in Boulder might actually have a lower hourly rate but tend to pick up more shifts, which increases they're overall income for the year, or 2. Nurses in Denver just don't pick up as many hours per year as the nurses in boulder do.
