Thank you for looking out for us. I just want to update you that I have about 2.5 months left of nursing school, and while the supervisor on my favorite unit down here in SW Florida has guaranteed me a job as soon as I'm done (and they really want me badly and have very clearly let me know), I've been doing the math. And the math isn't pretty for nurses in SW Florida. The salaries have not risen much in the past 2 years, but the cost of living, especially rent, has skyrocketed lately. So I would start at about $28-29 an hour (with my BSN being my 2nd bachelor's degree), being bilingual, being a leader in my nursing program, etc. My take home pay every 2 weeks working 36 hours per week would be approximately $1650 net, which is what one month's rent is on a 1-bedroom apartment in the area, without even adding in electricity, water, internet, cable, etc. So you're spending over 50% of your take home for your rent and rent associated costs, and then you need to pay for everything else (food, gas, phone, insurance, car payment, schools loans, etc.). And guess what? There's not enough money with the other $1650 for that month to cover it all. You want furniture? You want to buy your mother a birthday present? Ha! You are forced to share an apartment as a new nurse if you want to survive financially. Working 12 hour days looking after people's lives, on your feet with barely a break, and being mentally ON the entire time, not to mention risking your health with each patient.... and you have to share an apartment or get a 2nd job. FML, a 2nd job, after all this school and all this stress. That is NOT, at ALL, dignified. There's no money left over to save, nothing left to eat dinner out one night, nothing left to even buy uniforms. The math makes being here something I can't in good conscience agree to, no matter how much they love me and want me to work there. In California, despite every hospital there being completely unknown to me, I wouldn't be faced with that undignified situation. I would have money left over, I would have the opportunity to save and look forward to home ownership, and I wouldn't have to go get a 2nd job just to not be broke. I didn't sign up for nursing to be on the struggle bus like I was previous to starting nursing school.

I think mortgage cost is unrealistic for those nurses coming to California (like myself) in the near future. I think the middle ground between a 1 bedroom apartment and a 2 bedroom apartment in these same cities would be a phenomenal way to gauge living expenses for those of us planning to rent for a good while. I might perhaps never buy in California, but simply save heavily for retirement. I would absolutely buy that spreadsheet that showed both the mortgage cost AND the 1.5 bedroom apt cost. Because while Sunnyvale may be ridiculous to own in, you might be able to make a ton of money there if you're willing to live in a small apartment and perhaps even share it. Thanks, Jason!

Your videos have definitely given me lots of food for thought. I would love to return to the Bay Area (or even try Sacramento!) to work as a nurse. But since these hospitals don't have too many opportunities to switch specialties, I may have to do a fellowship in a state outside of CA and then try to enter something like UC Davis or Kaiser as an ICU RN. That way I'll have the more marketable skills to get the overtime for run pay!

@NursesToRiches 2 жыл бұрын

I agree that if you want to get intimate a specialty, you're better off getting that experience out of state first since it's nearly impossible to move into a new specialty out here because many hospitals aren't willing to pay for the training that is required.

Santa Barbara also definitely has more affordable prices. Yes we have huge mansions for $100000000 but also houses starting from $700.000. So it looks expensive when you see the mean. Also most people live in Goleta which is a 10 min drive but prices much lower. Thanks !

Hi, thanks for the comment! The reason I left the first chart as is is because the Bureau of Labor and Statistics aggregates nearby cities into one group and sums up the average or median salaries from all those locations. If I want to be as objective as possible, the only thing I can do is separate them when it comes to the median home prices because those are numbers that I can collect for every city individually. Also, the home prices you see are not the averages (or mean), they are the median home prices. Numbers will always vary based on what perspective you look at them from but I tried to keep it as consistent as possible for every city, in order to make it an apples to apples comparison. Oh, and with regards to most people living in other cities, I get that most people do that. But my intention with the video is to see which city would be most beneficial to work AND live in, not just work in OR live in. But i do get your point.

As someone who has lived "near" Vallejo for most of my life, I could tell you that its a horrible, crime ridden and terrible place to live. There is a reason it's so cheap. Vallejo is a living hell hole!! (sorry for anyone who lives there.) Corcoran is in the middle of no where. I should also add there are lots of homes in Santa Barbra much less expensive than the "median" home price. If you're a nurse, you can make it work in any California city. All nurses already know how to hustle hard. (or you would have never made it through nursing school). You can figure it out. Great video.. I love the concept here :)

@NursesToRiches 2 жыл бұрын

California has the highest demand and biggest shortage of nurses. So, if you take that into consideration, as a new grad looking for work, you'd have better options here than all other states. Most new grads I know of in the Sacramento area have found work in less than 3 months. It takes the average new grad about 6 months to get their first job. So don't be disappointed when it takes longer than a few months to receive a job offer.

Hey man, another great video! I’m looking for some advice if you have some time. I’ll be graduating with my BSN in December here in Connecticut. My girlfriend has family in the socal area and we would like to move out there. Would you suggest getting a year of experience here in CT or would it be more beneficial to start my career out there?

@NursesToRiches 2 жыл бұрын

If I were you I would go wherever my desires lead me. If your desire is to move to SoCal, then that is where you should apply. But, if you're willing to stay an extra year in Connecticut, then go ahead and do that. Or, you could just get your license in both states and apply for jobs in both of the states, then stay in the one that offers you a job first.

I think with CT experience you can find a hospital job in SoCal. My friend who started in SoCal as a fresh grad struggled to find a hospital job even with covid. So she had to start out in nursing home.

The statistics show that more than 98.5% of new grads are its to find employment in less than 12 months in California, and 63% find work in less than 6 months. Many new grads have unrealistic expectations and believe they should be able to find work within a few weeks of graduating. The reality of the matter is that the majority take months, and not getting a job right away should not make anyone feel discouraged. Accepting a nursing job at any place that accepts you, instead of waiting for that one hospital you've always wanted to work in, is the fastest way to accelerate your nursing career. So, keep that in mind when applying to jobs in any state. And, another thing you should keep in mind is that California is the state with the largest shortage and highest demand for nurses. So, if you're not getting any job offers, keep at it, the state of California needs you.

If there are many rich people in the city, the home prices which you have used to calculate might be higher than the price of where you would live in the city as a nurse. it would be more accurate using the data of home prices under the same conditions- like same sqft, the same number of rooms, etc - in each cities than using the average price of the middle price tier of homes in each cities. Anyway thank you for your work:)

There are so many ways to interpret the data and you are right, if there are many rich people living in a particular city, it will skew the results. I could make a new video in the future comparing the cities by the same purchase price, square footage, number of rooms, bathrooms, etc, and see where that gets us. However, that video would take me ages to create, so we'll see. Lol

Hey there ! I’m a future California nurse I was wondering if you could do a video on the hospitals with pensions? Not 401k and if you knew anything about how hospital pensions work? I am a firefighter who has a pension so I was wondering what the differences were, thank you for all your videos! You’ve inspired me to get a job at Stanford !

@NursesToRiches 2 жыл бұрын

I could discuss pensions for each of the hospitals I've talked about so far one the channel, but the reason why I haven't done so yet is because the only pensions that are guaranteed by the government are pensions for public employees. This is why I would never rely on a pension a s a vehicle for income in retirement. Most of them also require that you work for at least 20 years with the organization and retire after the age of 55 to even qualify for payments. We'll see, though, maybe I will make a video about it.

@phijahohensee7087 2 жыл бұрын

@@phijahohensee7087 100%. You have more control over your 401k, and if you ever needed to use it for an emergency (not that you should ever do so, but you could), you have option of withdrawing your money from a 401. Your 401k can also be rolled over from one job to the next, a pension does not have those benefits. And many employers match a portion of what you contribute to your 401k, helping your money compound even faster.

@NursesToRiches Жыл бұрын

Hi! It depends on the hospital but if you work for a hospital with a union (like Kaiser) you lot have to pay union dues every paycheck (which is about $70 every 2 weeks for Kaiser) and you get health and dental insurance coverage, pension benefits, holiday pay, paid time off, paid sick leave, and more. All of that is provided to you by just being a union member and paying your union dues. Some hospitals that don't have unions or have a different type of union contract still provide better health insurance than most other private sector employers. When you work as a nurse you *usually* have health insurance coverage at a very low cost, relative to the rest of the population.

But either way I cannot include either of those in this video because they are not cities. With regards to not everyone wanting to buy a house, I understand that. However, I make these videos from a place that the majority of Nurses view it. And the majority would definitely like to own real estate (whether as a primary residence or a rental property).
