This video gives me hope! I'm also an RN in the area, I have applied for over 150 jobs and haven't scored one interview! I'm almost losing hope but I will keep pushing through! Thank you
Thanks for the info! Applied/interviewed for a few positions at Kaiser a few weeks ago, and after seeing this I think I’ll keep handing out applications until something sticks🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, the Kaiser hospitals out here in the Sacramento area are the most competitive in California because of the low cost of living and high wages compared to the rest of California. I would apply to all the hospitals in the area, not just Kaiser.
I can relate to Monica… I left the floor and ended up in endo for awhile due to floor was draining… Now im back in the floor-ICU. Im planning to move to cali next year…
Hi Jason and Monica! I would like to thank you because of your videos and your inspiring content that I was able to move from new york to California, Its very hard to work in New York, now I just arrived and accepted the offer from Sutter Alta Bates. Huge difference. Again Thank you. Wish you well.
I started watching your videos because My wife is in nursing college now, and we are planning to look for a place where we can move and settle down. We are currently at Oklahoma, we just moved from New York for her studies, but this place is so boring for us. We were thinking about moving to California, then I saw one of your video and become a fan. This video so nice. The Story how Monica put the gas on her car was so funny... Thank you so much for bringing good content. I really loved it, I am not a Nurse I work in IT as a software engineer
Thank you for sharing this valuable information in your videos! You and Monica are truly inspiring! I received a job offer from Sutter Health three months after applying. I am excited about relocating to CA for its pay and working conditions. In my current job, you are always triple (ICU) and lucky if you get a break. You have to transport your patients to do scans or procedures and can only pray that the other two patients are still alive when you return to your unit. A minimum of 6 triples in a 36-bed ICU is "legal" here, which is insanely unsafe. I am hoping the work conditions will never be like this in CA.
Jason and Monica thanks for the tips! Very helpful for us applying a job at kaiser! The motivation and hardwork you both have are really inspiring! Keep it up!
Another great video 😁. I learn something with each video l. I checked out the apartments in Sacramento a two bedroom is lower than a one bedroom in Los Angeles or Oakland. Los Angeles and Oakland prices are outrageous. Looking forward for more info on Sacramento communities etc. Thanks 👍
I love kaiser ! It’s the best place to work ! I have been interviewed in cedars , UCLA, providence, I am so glad I ended up with kaiser ! Best of the best ! ❤🎉❤
I love hearing you guy's personal stories it is very inspiring and encouraging to keep going. Thank you for not being a part of the gatekeeping gang 😂😂😍😍🙏🙏
😂I used to interview with Kaiser in Southern CA. Definitely long process and I can not wait 😅 and UC healthcare actually faster and I decide to go with UC healthcare 😊. Thanks for VDO. You guys are amazing and it is very realistic about nursing jobs.
Being open to M/S/tele will always open more opportunities. As a specialty I realized this & became more open to float. & ER definitely has more opportunities than ICU. Demand & Supply
In Utah the tele ratio is 4:1 as well, when I moved to Cleveland I was appalled at the 7:1 ratio on tele (cardiothoracic). Western states are so much better in my experience.
Don't think like that. It may take a while but it doesn't hurt to apply. What's the worst that can happen? They'll reject the application? Just apply again. And again. And again.
One thing about NYC & NJ. A recruiter calls you & tells you the details of the job, the actual pay you’ll be making & the benefits & then you decide if you want it before you go for the interview. This applies to the top hospitals in NYC & NJ…at least ever since Covid this is what they’ve done.
Unfortunately there aren’t even 200 total jobs for any specialty, any hospital, from San Jose to Roseville now in the entire metro area. It’s rough out there.
False it’s just hard period. Ive lived In NorCal my whole life and went to nursing school here. Its was hard for me and my classmates in 2018 and still now . We have a ton of nursing schools/ graduates here and not enough open jobs for us all. Even we have to leave the area to get experience then come back. A lot of us end up In nursing homes as our first jobs out here that pay like 38/hr while hoping to get into a hospital sooner than later.
@@d3r3kyasmarcity college of San Francisco for my ADN and I did my BSN online. I will also be doing my MSN online through chamberlain. Don’t Waste your money on the expensive Schools out here. If you are able to do it online go that route.
You guys are coming to NY and I was going to go to Cali....🤣. It will be much easier to get a job here in NYC. I have Med Surge/Tele experience and when I applied to various hospitals, I got calls usually within 3 weeks from applying. Kaiser sounds too hard to get into. Did you start researching which hospitals pay the most in NY?
Good day Jason and Monica! would like to know if I can bring my 10 cats in Cali 😅 still preparing for nclex, are there any apartments that would allow me to have them? thank you so much for your response! been watching most of your vlogs and it’s been very helpful in planning for my future goals ❤
Yeah, like Virginia said, it's going to be nearly impossible to find an apartment complex that will allow more than 3 pets to move in with you. You can look up all of the apartments in the area you want to move to and ask before you visit the place.
Just go to a community college.. you don’t need an expensive degree to be a nurse here. You can save so much money going to a CC. You can get your BSN online and save a lot of money that way too. There’s no reason to go into significant debt for a nursing education
I'm a second year BSN student and planning ahead for plans after graduating. I'm really looking into California for the reasons you talk about. What do you know about Kaiser and hospitals in the state in general regarding their willingness to hire new grads?
You can get a job as a new grad more easily at other hospitals.. most Kaiser hospitals don’t hire a lot of new grads. You need to network and try to get in the good graces of the managers on the units you’re interested in working on
do you think a nurse with 1 year medsurge experience would be better off getting 6 months of ed experience or stay at the medsurge for additional expereince on the floor in improving their chances of landing a job at UCD or KP?
Hello, I’m currently living @ Illinois right now and our family is planning to move to California. So, would you recommend for me to start applying? I still don’t have a CA license though. 😭
which KP was she hired ? Also, now that you both have nice incomes, are you paying extra on the mortgage? Or better to save more? Nurse from Kaiser San Diego here. Thanks for the great content!
ANMs are supervisors. They don't earn overtime pay. They also pay more for their health insurance than the staff nurses. But, from what they tell me, they get better retirement benefits.
Filipino nurse coming to US next month to work for LTC for 34/hr offer. How do I transition to a high paying nursing job like in Kaiser. Do I conplete the 3 yr bond or get at least 1-2yrs and buyout contract?
The Kaiser hospitals rarely, if ever, offer relocation bonuses. The ones in Southern California, with lower wages, do have relocation bonuses. As a union member you only pay $72/biweekly for health and dental insurance, paid vacation leave, paid sick leave, holiday pay, birthday holiday pay, bereavement leave, and so many more benefits. You also get the backing of the union if something were to go wrong at work.
Stockton is the worst city I’ve ever been to in northern CA. It’s the only place I’ve been to that has bars over the drive through windows at Taco Bell. There is a lot of meth use there..
Luck has nothing to do with making good financial decisions. If we were to buy a house today, we would settle for a smaller home at a lower price point so we could keep our monthly payments the same.
The stress level for me is not as bad as not seeing my kids and family. We are fully staffed every time I come into work now. This was definitely not the case at the height of COVID.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. If I could see you guys in person, I would give you hugs. I just discovered your RUclips channel today! I subscribed. Wish you the best with your business plan. I'm a new grad RN looking for a job, and my husband is a travel nurse. We are California's. What advice can you give me to start maximizing our income? We also have a fun set aside for investment. What do you suggest for investment strategy? I think you mentioned in one of your RUclips videos that you invested in ETF. Would you recommend us to do that also? Thank you thank you!!! Take care
Is the Medcal test that Monica mentioned in the video when she got her closest job offer from your roseville apartment that time, Is it a pharmacy test? Like drug calculation test?
@@NursesToRichesThanks for the reply. I went on the discord and downloaded the Kaiser med calc study guide and I’m go over that just to polish up my math skills.
I wonder how this would apply to an entry level rn such as myself as I live in the middle of nowhere in virginia on the opposite side of the country? My thoughts are that such a wage is likely for a MSN // DNP // DNAP nurse and / or in an area with a really high cost of living index. I was earning around $24 per hour in 2012 working in a cardiothoracic surgical progressive care unit and can't imagine a starting salary of $132 per hour, let alone feel this is a clickbait video.
Any nurse with 10 years of experience would have this starting salary as a night shift per diem nurse at Kaiser. You don't need an advanced degree or to work on a specialty floor to earn this wage. But getting a job in the Sacramento region is extremely competitive.
Can you get a job in sacremento area specifically kaiser ,UC , or Sutter without a bsn? I currently only have an RN associates degree. From MI Currently working in ICU @nursestoriches
@NursesToRiches in your opinion out of kaiser,sutter,UC,dignity which one has the best prospects for the next 5 years for benefits , pay increase etc. Just watched your 20 steps to become a nurse in Cali video. Will start to apply for Cali RN license and make a trip to area in the next 3 months to make plans . But do not want to be let down on a change of opportunities out there

Hello,
Do you think I would be able to get a job at Kaiser if I have an associate's degree?
Yes, half the nurses I work with have their ADNs.
I am a pediatric nurse. Would you be able to include pediatric hospitals on your spreadsheet for California?
Does Kaiser hire ADN as new nurse ?
Yes. I work with plenty of nurses who have their ADNs and we all get paid the same rates. There's no degree differential.
