As a RN (registered nurse) I'm not afraid of loosing my job or quitting my job because I learned how to save to invest putting my money back to work to make more money. I'm not just after the money but the freedom to live on my terms
There's a lot of investing options real estate, stocks, crypto, ETFs but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one and make good financial decisions
It was the lack of respect. My first year got yelled at by a doctor at change of shift ( I was coming on, had no idea what was even going on yet), and was yelled at by my preceptor on my second day because I helped a patient to the bathroom before giving insulin ( insulin wasn't due yet, pt was fine, vitals and all). It was a culture shock to me coming from a business office to the hospital. The unprofessional way they talk to each other. It wasn't worth the money to me. I didn't leave nursing fully, I just left the bedside and work from home now. So you don't have to leave completely, but just try to find a place you are respected, at least!
Girl I'm a Respiratory Therapist and I'm considering becoming an RN. We are so undervalued and disrespected in the hospital. I have NPs giving me ventilator orders and they don't even understand how the different modes work! And don't want to be educated on ANYTHING. I don't want to leave the medical field because we need more black people there, but chile the bs is TAXING
I have been watching you since 2017 when I was preparing to start my LPN program, loved watching you then and love watching you now cause you always tell the truth!! You inspired me so much that I became a BSN-prepared RN last month !! God bless you!
I really love being a nurse, but the bs that comes with it is what runs ppl off. Definitely the $$ though & knowing I'll always have a job. Then like you said.....what else will I do! 🤔
I think a lot of us feel like this. My two big reasons for wanting to leave both are about safety. I worry I'm going to be harmed either not purposefully by a patient but just by the nature of them being very large and big and there not being proper equipment/staff to help them or purposefully experience a violent patient/family member in which case the hospital doesnt do much to protect us. There are so many things I can deal with in this field but my health and safety have to come first if I'm gonna keep doing this.
Hunty I jumped from nursing to admin then tech Efffff nursing My mom retired from nursing tired as eff I need BW in admin, tech, Drs, NP etc I need you in higher tiers cause these WW are playing in ur face
Check out clinical research. Nurses are great hires. The pay is good and the nursing background is invaluable. I worked as a hemodialysis nurse for 15 years then switched to clinical research. You travel a lot and if you have oncology experience then you're definitely getting an interview
@@addieidemudia6530 A lot of nursing schools present clinical research as a part of their curriculum. The clinical research organizations generally prefer experience in ICU/ER, oncology, CNS experience.
I feel lost as a nurse. I'm almost at a year. I fought hard to get my degree and landed a job. I was so hopeful. Now I'm part time and burned out and don't even know my next move. Saw an internal WFH Nurse Triage and was overshadowed by nurses with more experience. Being a "new grad" just sucks. No one even takes a second look at you without 2 years experience outside of certain areas. *sigh*
@nizbet5707 That sux. For you If your circumstances allow I would move possibly to get a better pay rate with cost of living? I unfortunately can't move as I take care of a parent also but if I could move I def would if it meant a better opportunity. Rooting for you!
I love these conversations because so many nurses can relate. This girl on RUclips have a video where she quit nursing and started working at target because it made her happy. Yes following your passion is the key and praying about it. I’m a nurse and I honestly wouldn’t mind working in corporate in my cubicle chilling with no liability and lesser stress.
@Citygal01 You're def right it's something to pray about and get some guidance from God. And I agree that doing what makes you happy is more worth it in the long run. We all became nurses for a reason but that doesn't mean we can't use those skills elsewhere if needed for sure
Go into soft life nursing specialties. I thought I wanted to do critical care when I became an RN but I've found that Orthopedics, OR, Aesthetics, PACU, Cath Lab, Infusion nurses and a few more are the happiest.
I'm a pediatric float pool nurse. Weekend Option. Only work Saturdays and Sundays. Love it but don't like all the hospital mandatory classes and skills and trauma hours. Can I just work my shifts and be DONE.
I’m a travel nurse aide. I originally wanted to be a RN because of the of it only being 2yrs of schooling but I quickly realized it isn’t what I want to make a career out. So now I’m in school to be a rad tech which is also only 2yrs of schooling and a lot less patient interaction 😅.
I'm a CNA and gonna get my Med Aide. I'm pursuing my Animal Veterinary Nursing degree program... but after that, I always wanted to become an LPN. But through working in Assisted Living and Nursing homes, I think I wanna do X-Ray tech. But I am still thinking about LPN for the stability. Agency pay's good. I'm still gonna keep my CNA though and always pick up shifts.
Update... I decided to go with the Pharmacy Technician one year program. I'll do my Med Aide, and keep my CNA and do my RVT (Animal Nurse) program for now. Long-term is Nursing.
Have you ever thought about case management? I’m a social work case manager in Charlotte area. The RN case managers are well taken care $ and most of them said they were tired of bedside. Now they get to the bag while sitting down LOL
Try using some PTO and taking care of yourself. It seems you’re experiencing symptoms of burnout. Bedside is hard on mental health from all the politics and stress. On another note, advancing to your BSN can give you options outside of bedside or even help you transition to another career in healthcare.
LPN here working Peds home health and I love it. I work two agency’s one paying $40hr and the other $42 Sat and Sun because of the bridge program during the week. Sometimes I ask myself why the hell am I going back for the RN when I’m making good money where I am and could be living very comfortable if I worked full time 😩 I def wanna go further and I just wanted to use the LPN as a stepping stone but sometimes I feel discouraged like what if I get this RN and still feel unfulfilled.
@@kind2423 oh no 🙈 well I’m an independent contractor doing private duty and I told the agency’s up front how much I wanted. My first home health agency I applied for was on a W2 and they offered like $32. I’m used to the agency money so it’s hard to accept something like that 😫
I stated a job at a outpatient clinic about 9 months ago.. a very well known establishment… I was overwhelmed.. burnt out.. dealing with toxic co workers .. to the point where I was having anxiety, depression and placed on anxiety meds.. I had bad dreams almost every night and was all around depressed! I prayed about it and finally made the decision to quit! I decided welp.. I don’t have to take this! Yes, great benefits and all but my mental health is more important! Been home a month now.. back to school and just working on getting per diem position for like 3 days a week! I am so much happier and have my peace of mind back! I am currently taking my prerequisites but can’t help but wonder if I should really continue with nursing or find something else to do. I am 46.. may be too late to start over 🤷🏽♀️
I'm not sure if you said in the video you get $70 an hour at the Hospital. But if you looking for a different job that pays around 10k a month then you should apply to director jobs at the nursing homes or facilities. Or even get into HR director and they'll just like you because you already have your nursing license. Also maybe getting your personal care administrator license. They also pay nice. It's all about selling yourself with that nursing license.
Thanks, I know DONs pay well but I'm not going to commit to allllll of that. I only work 2 days a week and thats enough. HR seems interesting, I havent heard of personal care adm, ill look into it
I've never worked fulltime as a nurse, LVN but definitely fulltime hours. I work everywhere agency even travel. I work Med surg, in the hospital the most but you have to have something on the side You can get burned out quickly.
First of all, I enjoy watching your videos! They help me get a perspective if I really wanted to switch over to this professional. Hmm, have you considered case management to be an option?
Maybe if you went to school to become a Pharmacist maybe 🤷🏾♀️, but your right tho it’s blessing to be able to change your specialty whenever you want and there’s always a job making good money as a nurse…. but it’s still like your trapped. I be having those same thoughts like what am I doing like wats the ultimate goal , is it just for the money ….like 🤷🏾♀️ ….
@iamdestiny She says she’s not interested in dropping her pay and says several times in the video she wants increasing pay. Teaching pays the lowest. Many do it when retire.
@@penandpencilplow I don’t care how she go about doing it I just know she is very informative and easy at explaining things and obviously loves the learning process therefore I saw good characteristics of a teacher/instructor.
@@iamdestiny Sure. As I said I don’t think she’s interested in that for a career right now just by listening to her video content. She’s got a more recent one where she’s showing an interest in shadowing CRNA and acute care.
I was a CNA for 10+ years and love my work! I have worked both in LTC and the Hospital setting and recently returned back to long-term care as I finished nursing school. I really thought this is where I wanted to start out as but now I’m starting to feel like I don’t want to work in LTC. Between the way things run nowadays and how unprofessional and the lack of compassion with CNAs who are just there to collect a check…I’m considering being a school nurse or work in Peds or doing a 1:1 LPN home health job. I love my job but I never want to get burnt out! It’s tough out here! I’m trying not to focus too much on the money factor either..

Yeah and 9-5 can't give you the freedom you need. An extra income stream (passive income) is a great option, keep it going
Yeah I make 3k as extra income from my investing trying so hard to build more side hustles and extra income
There's a lot of investing options real estate, stocks, crypto, ETFs but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one and make good financial decisions
That's a great idea, an expert will help you make the best decisions about investing
I can't just hope on my 9_5 job. I do more to earn $$ I think everyone should too
It’s the racism and bigotry and bullying in nursing for me that runs me off.I make 50 a hour which like 25 today and I’m still not happy
you are wise to adjust it to inflation. $50/hr is really $25/hr today. For the trouble nurses go through the pay should be at least $200/hr and more
