In Maryland the X-Ray techs start around $30-$35/hr, Cardiovascular Tech start off about $35-$40 in the cheap city and in the DMV area your looking at about $40-$50/hr as a new graduate. So whoever loves to work independently and don’t have lots of coworkers and doctors down your back, and have time to get a two year degree, become a technologist!

Lpn new grad in MD is $30-35 as well

@dpaper7962 Жыл бұрын

@@oyato1 That's what's up! And Maryland has places to live for every budget for an average 2 bedroom apartment. So if you choose to live well below your means and make $30+ /hr, that is an awesome savings until you're ready to purchase a home. I have a family household income of over $100,000 a year and living in a regular (not Getto nor fancy) 2 bedroom apartment for $900+/month. Living well below our means got us to the point where we will be ready to move out of here to purchase a home flat cash in 2 years! Working on the savings for the taxes and then we'll be ready! Just excited to live in a state that recognizes the majority of medical positions you can think of and have places to fit many family budgets! Originally from California. Best home movement I made this far for my career!

In my works place at a nursing home in NYC LPN makes $36 an hour. You also need to factor the living conditions in NYC is much higher.

@MelisaMarie Жыл бұрын

Yup. My job offered in NYC were 48-60ish to be appropriate for the cost of living.

@dpaper7962 Жыл бұрын

That’s crazy Baltimore cheap af. I live out here in Maryland and even a new graduate Cardiovascular Technologist get paid more than a nurse in Maryland. That’s why I’m sticking with the techs until I become a PA!

Hi! This is my first video I’m seeing of yours and I’m very curious. If you were offered up to $60 an hour why not go for a higher pay?

@MelisaMarie Жыл бұрын

Hello darling! Accepting a job isn’t just about pay. If the pay/benefits/location/cost of living/shift & hour requirements/SPECIALTY/ratios don’t align with what I want for myself, then it’s not something I’d accept, no matter how high the rate. 🤍

Was that weekly or bi-weekly? Also are you a ADN rn or BSN rn?

Biweekly, BSN.

I am thinking about attending the North Brunswick Campus. I am an older student but used to going to College and Studying. What is your opinion of the school? Do you feel that it was worth what you paid? Are they really helpful?

Can you please share the hospital you work for in BALTIMORE? I think $33 is low for a BSN new grad.

@MelisaMarie Жыл бұрын

No, I won’t share where I work for safety purposes. It’s just about average across the country. In Atlanta and South Florida I was being offered 21-28$ and hour.

@nicholeknight1893 Жыл бұрын

@MelisaMarie OMG that's awful. $21 a hour is nothing for the amount of work with a BSN

@MelisaMarie okay thank you Melissa.. Wish you all the best.

@Naeski00 Жыл бұрын

So in Baltimore Sinai pays $33 for new grad and 20k sign on for 2 yrs or 30k for 3 yrs. Every other hospital system (medstar, Ascesion, University of Maryland, hopkins) pays around 34-35 some have lower sign ons and some don’t.
