heheheh Fun the system has some major issues lol. That’s not cool. Also when we get our BSN... there is no compensation at all, I’m like... at least you saw the value in going to school for your RN and did not stay a CNA

@@DabidRobinson I know right! But I kinda knew it would not be a big of a raise. When I was in nursing school, I was betting all of the money on travel nursing. Soon, I will probably give traveling nursing a try. No assignments out there right now except for ICU/ER.

You defiantly should, they pay so much more. But yeah our hospital cancelled a couple of contracts they had two travel nurses right now because it’s been slow

You should be making 60 per hour

Thankyou!!

​@Values James Absolutely correct ..

Please does anyone know who this Mrs Brenda is ? I really need to speak with her I’m frustrated..

wow so sorry you failed , I have heard so much about Brenda but I don’t actually have her info ..

There are many paths to practicing the many, MANY different forms of medicine. If med school worked for you, that’s awesome! But don’t force other people into just one route that may not work for them . For me I will say give Brenda a try and testify like me

Hey, thanks

😱😱😱

Much better than what I started with for sure! Thanks for sharing!

@Nurse David no problem, man. It's alot of work so far, but I honestly love it. Already planning on going back to school in 4 years to get my rn license, tho lol. I just wanna enjoy my time for now, before I put myself back into school.

​@@darkherosolidoxNursing homes are no joke!

@@IrlLove working in a nursing home sucks

@@darkherosolidox Yup try to get a contract with a facility asap

That is awesome to hear, thank you :) go for it!!

That is awesome! Make that money!

You get paid more nights because of the adverse effects of nights. Hormonal imbalances, increased exposure to health problems, diabetes, and depression. Definitely more money but you’re compensated for future health problems.

Are you RN?

Yay!!! Welcome aboard! :DDDD

@@DabidRobinson thanks. Glad I stumbled into your channel. Not a lot of male nurse videos out there. 💯🤙🏾

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I'm in Boston, MA

Wow, now that is quite the difference lol, but the cost of living is much different too

Mochi, what state is this?

@@sasuxsakuxfan how hard is your job? I'm planning to get accelerated BSN degree and want to get experience prior to this as a CNA but little of worried lifting patients. Do you mind sharing your experiences?

What location ?? California? South Bay ?

@@annnajin3179 Nebraska & Iowa & Colorado

That is pretty good, but I don't know what the cost of living is over there

At the same time, props to those who are comfortable in their CNA position because they truly are the backbone!

David Robinson Yess I give them all the props !!

Lots of the girls that work nights, work nights because of their kids and YESS I definitely miss the money haha. Some places offer really good incentives

The hospital I work at is a major one and they pay their CNAs horribly... they really don’t get paid enough. Do you work nights or days?

I just use the Cannon G7X Mark ii, and a snowball mic I have connected to my computer through USB

University and trade are fairly similar in price. Just make sure the program you choose is accredited!

@@DabidRobinson thank you for replying. Does Regional or National accreditation matter?

In my state the trade schools aren’t as competitive but they’re $$$$$$ compared to in state universities & community colleges

CNA's are severely underpaid for sure

I’m at Amazon and I get paid 17.80. I’m taking a cna class right now and the pay seems to be around $15 in hospitals in my area (I live in Missouri).

Thanks for sharing this!

This is a great idea! I will for sure make a video on this!

@@DabidRobinson hi David, am too waiting for that difference, thanks

So the longer you work as a cna the more you make over the years

U can definitely make way more n he's on his way

What agency do you work with?

He said that you can do well if you spread around which you are. I work with an agency I also work for the state of Washington. The agency pays up to $30 an hour for a one hour shift. They pay $22-$23 for 4 hour shifts. They pay 18.50 ffr an 8 hour shift. The state of Washington DSHS pays 19.52 an hour for a CNA. I will be doing respite care for Army families helping take care of their kids, especially if they're disabled. The Army pay $25 an hour.

@@tneville1962 I am working at a state veterans home in WA, doing 3 12 hour shifts on the weekends.

When you say a travel CNA are you referring to “home health care” or do you travel to other cities and states?

@@amayancgirl4036 I travel to other cities within my state to work at skilled nursing and long term care facilities

You can, a difference between commerce and RN/BSN is that the nursing route does require quite a bit of sciences. The fact that you're still in high school and already thinking about this is awesome. When I got out of high school I had no idea what I wanted to go to school for, so I just started taking general classes. It's not to late to change your mind on what you want to do.

@@DabidRobinson BTW, David. What do you think should I do after I finish my high school? Would you highlight some way for an aspirant like me? And what do you mean by 'Genral Class'?? Rigorously waiting for your Reply.

Sorry for the late reply! When I say general classes, I mean like English 101/102 or Bio 101. General classes at college that are the foundation for any degree that you want to go into.

So many nurses it is not their first career and they go back to become a nurse!

Welcome

If you don't mind me asking - where do you live?

@@sarahzimmerman6145 east coast, NJ.

My cousin living in LA made 90K as CNA. Good thing though, she’ doesn’t pay rent bcuz he lives with my uncle who has a stroke (but he’s independent) and other aunts in the same home.

@@lasvegasnevada7514 CA is #1 when it comes to nursing. They pay the best and offer the best ratios/work conditions. I would say the runner up place to be a nurse is NYC.

Never to old to become an RN, might as well get paid correctly for your work because our poor CNAs do not get paid enough.

Very nice!

Oh my... LOL that’s a lot

@@DabidRobinson yes we have a lot of traveler nurses from other states they come to make good money $$$

definitely!

But you pay a BUTTLOAD in taxes lol

But you have to live in California!

Now new grad nurses start off at 29$ at my hospital.

@@DabidRobinson it’s crazy how for the same you you get paid so much less in a different state

I wante to know ,! Good question

Yes, I worked as a CNA during school and only worked weekends. It was two days a week but I got 24 hours, out of those two days

24 hours a week, two days a week

@@DabidRobinson thank you so much!!

Associates degree in nursing age generally never online. But you should look into community college, stay away from university’s or private schools.

Yes, stay away from a private school. Some schools are well over 100k to get your BSN in nursing. Community college is around 7k, and if you qualify for financial aid, it will be pretty much free. Some community colleges have a breach program that allows you to start working on your BSN, so after graduating with your ADN, you can complete your BSN in under a year. Ps. Dude, thank you for all your videos. They are very helpful. I graduated in June and passed boards in September. I recently started working in a hospital, and I’ve been watching g your videos for tips on gear, etc.

That is true..

7 days a week? Wow!

I am bsn registered nurse in kuwait. I am going to apply for canada as CNA. I want ask after joining as CNA what I have to do for post of RN?

@@reharajpoot8739 more school...more classes to receive the next license. One or two years.

Hi. Can u suggest me

Thanks

Arizona 😂 I said it in the video! Make sure you hit the like button!

Your gonna get a nice pay raise once you finish school then! That’s for sure haha

Varies by company, and whether or not you work at a nursing home, hospital, or through agency, I would use indeed and Glassdoor to find jobs in your area and see what they are offering for pay to get a general idea of what you can make, ignore the estimated salaries and only look at the ones that the company will put what you make an hr in the description

Plenty of jobs even with just an ADN vs the BSN. Also plenty of money in travel nursing! I think it’s a great idea for sure. Also welcome to my page haha 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@@DabidRobinson thanks for the reply bud!!!

For sure!! You won’t be bored as a nurse haha

@@gsabella4 also most hospitals will help you get your BSN financially

@@pi8617 Thanks for the info, planning on doing associate then work for 1 year before doing bsn.

I live in Arizona. Starting pay for new grads is now 26.50

@@DabidRobinson @Grace T. I'm also in AZ. They pay new grads at my facility $28/hr for day shift.

Arizona

David Robinson wow okay! Because I’m in San Antonio, Texas and starting pay for new grads with no experience average $21.50-$24.50

For new grad nurses? Dang... I have a friend who got a job as a new grad at the Mayo Clinic here in Arizona and she started off at 32/hr.

Hey that’s good, is that considered good for california?

@@DabidRobinson ya of course. my friend is an LVN at kaiser here in california and her pay is 45/hr but thats kaiser tho u cant beat kaiser's pay cuz RN there makes 85-105/hr. some LVN makes 30+ per hour here in california. meaning LVNs here can make as much as RNs or more than other states.

That is un heard of, at least in Arizona lol. Wow...

@@DabidRobinson ya my friend works in haven health in phoenix and his pay is 27/hr as an RN same pay as me as an LVN here in cali.

@@DabidRobinson a lot of nurses wants to move here in california becuz of the pay. they said california is the most dreamt place for nursing

Yay thank you!!

True, I need to make an update video now

Not too much. I’m currently a CNA making 13. Just graduated with my BSN and got my job offer and my base is $24. Literally waiting on my letter to test to actually start the job though and it’s driving me insane.

@@zachbryant9298 Congratulations

Congratulations can't wait to finish my BSN program

​@@zachbryant9298you can make 18 an hour just being a direct support professional now n just a few years ago it was 11. It's definitely changed a lot

I make 25$ an hour as an agency CNA in Maryland. Some hospitals pay based on experience plus night differential. There’s assignments paying CNAs 30$ to 40$ an hour. It may be temporary but it’s possible.

When my mom first went as can it was 12.50 my ex gf starting pay 2yrs ago was 16 she started with the pandemic she worked o much overtime that now they pay her 20 a hr

I Make 22$ as A CNA And We Get Raise Every 6 month 😉

The raise for cna want up that’s why

$30 in the bay area...pay still does not add up to the work
