  • Ron Navarro, 30, earns $90,000 a year as a registered nurse in the emergency department of DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital. In the first few weeks of the coronavirus outbreak, he worked 12-hour shifts, four-to-five days per week. Recently, though, he’s scaled back his time to his regular schedule of three days each week.
    This is the latest installment of Millennial Money, which profiles people across the U.S. and details how they earn and spend their money.
    Read more about Ron's budget breakdown here: cnb.cx/2SZ52zi
    As a registered nurse in the emergency department of DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital, Ron Navarro is on the frontlines of the pandemic in one of the hardest-hit regions in the country. He views it as his duty to care for the community no matter the circumstances, referencing the Florence Nightingale Pledge for nurses, which puts the welfare of the community before individuals.
    Navarro’s mother, Gertrudes, came to the United States from the Philippines in the 1970s, and she was a nurse at the same hospital where her son works. She retired in 2014. One of the big differences between their experiences, he says, is that his mother still receives a pension from the hospital, which the family puts toward their bills. Navarro will not receive that when he retires, as it’s no longer offered to hospital employees.
    But that doesn’t bother Navarro. It’s a blessing to be able to do what he loves while earning decent money. “I love nursing, taking care of people,” he says. “It’s an honor to be helping those in need.”

    My family is Filipino too. My mom was an ICU nurse and retired when the pandemic started. My dad was a physical therapy assistant. I work full time as a I.T. systems administrator at UPenn. I also still currently live with my parents and pay the bills and utilities as well. It is very normal to live all together at an older age to not only support each other, but it does help save a lot of money. I’ve also seen a lot of Filipino start long distant relationships with people from the Philippines. And they also have successful long distance relationships that led to marriage. Especially having strong religious beliefs. My parents recently got married again in the Philippines after 30 years of marriage! Through sickness and in health!

      Tarah Gervais she already had plans to retire in December as a nurse because she turned 65. And during that time the virus was still known to be in China instead of worldwide. Plus she wanted to also take care of my dad with kidney disease who is on dialysis. So he is immune compromised. My mom felt enjoyed her years as an ICU nurse in New Jersey. So she was ready to pass on her job to new graduates that were ready to work.

We all live together and split our bills. This way we save money, get to spend time and take care of our family too.

      Only thing I'm seeing is the 2 brand new cars. $100,000 in was pretty aggressive and investment out of country carries certain risk also. So going from virtually zero debt to $180,000 is a little much and I think he probably realized it also. Assuming the wife has a decent income, they should be fine as they are still saving $1,600 and sending $300 back to his family.

      In the description, it states that he works 4-5x a week which is 1-2 extra shifts on top of the regular 3 shifts, and considering how the pandemic was 2 months ago and that's when he started working his regular 3 shifts. Yes, a good chunk of his pay is Overtime pay (which is usually 1.5x your base pay). Ex: if his base pay was $30 and overtime pay is $45. This also isn't including if he works extra holidays and weekends or nights (which tend to also have differentials). Basically, he worked super hard for his income and good for him cause I can barely do 4 in a row.

    It's so nice to see children grow up and support their parents, Asians, Pakistanis, etc. do this and don't just leave their aged parents all alone and forget about them (there are always exceptions). You should always be grateful towards your parents and care for them like they cared for you when you were a baby.

      @@MrTmenzo Soooo here in California because going to nursing school is very impacted and hard to get in I chose to go the private school route. I did my pre-requisite classes at local community colleges and that cost me about $1000 of my own money while everything else was FAFSA. Community colleges offer associate degrees in nursing for maybe $5-$8k at most and that is enough to get hired as an RN. My school for the same degree will cause me to owe about $50k in loans. I chose the private school route only because at CC, they do a lottery and God knows when I'll actually get in. I wanted to complete my schooling ASAP. I suggest to go to the cheapest route possible.

      @ Renee Lvs - I can ONLY give my opinion, which I have a right to. I’m a Veteran U. S. Navy SARC, Medic, and RN, CEN. So I probably have a different perspective than most. You are correct that it’s a team effort. I can ONLY speak on the places that I’ve worked in E. D. ‘s for the past 17 years that. some of my colleagues get a lot of credit for NOT being competent at their jobs. A lot of ppl in the field like to say, “I’m a RN.” When it’s time to rock & roll I it’s everybody else that can get the job done. If u have a RN that’s been one for 5 years and can’t drop an 18 Gauge a the drop of a hat and go pull meds then they aren’t worth their salt. Same goes for doctors ( mostly Internal Med & Hospitalists ) are pretty useless.
      Hospitalist awaken from a call in the middle of the night by a RN “ pt doesn’t have an order for antipyretics and now is febrile” MD: “ok give a gram of Tylenol”. Back to sleep he or she goes. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    This hits home in so many ways for me.
    Met my (now) wife in 2011 on a ferry boat to a vacation destination island. She was here on a j1 student visa from the Philippines. We carried that summer fling into a long term long distance relationship for 8 years. I went to nursing school in the states (where I'm from), and sponsored her to come to the US. I have traveled to the Philippines 7 times and have the full support of my parents. Now we're both working- me as a nurse and her in insurance administration. Saving up for a house and both turning 30 later this year. We're working on the "own a condo in makati" and "20% downpayment in the metro Boston area" financial goals right now. Working as a nurse during this pandemic is no joke. Not in the least.
    It's nice seeing clips like this on RUclips where I can say "hey, that's me!, I'm a male nurse, my wife is from the Philippines"... hahaha, this was fun.
