One of the real benefits of nursing...
Starting nurse salary: $18.00-$22.00/hr
Weekends Differential: $4.00/hr
Night shift Differential: $4.00/hr
Starting pay now becomes possible total of: $26.00-$29.00
$26.00/hr x 36hrs= $936/week
$29.00/hr x 36hrs= $1044/week
$936 x 2= $1872/pay period
$1044 x 2= $2088/pay period
$936 x 4= $3744/month
$1044 x 4= $4176/month
$3744 x 12= $44928/year
$4176 x 12= $50112/year
So.....by 23 I will be making close to $45,000 a year. That is if I stay in -this- state, which is one of the only 13 states that doesn't have a nursing shortage. If I end up back in say...Texas...which is #2 in the Nation for a nursing shortage, as a travel nurse....especially during strikes...lets see mom went to san francisco pre-strike, and in 7 days brought home almost $6000. States like Texas and California that have Unions, anything over an 8hr shift as far as the medical field is concerned, is time and a half.
BANK!
Oh...and dating someone with a BSEET who is planning to get a Masters in engineering....

-----------------------------------
Today was HECTIC....omg...or yesterday rather...We had clinical...this semester is Pediatrics and mother baby. We were all scared as fuck to walk in there....
Apparently, I'm the only person that knows what a big fucking neon orange sign on the door that reads
"CAUTION!!!!!: DO NOT ENTER ROOM WITH GOWN, GLOVES, AND FASE MASK" means... >.<
None of the nurses bothered to go in with anything...me...the kid stares at me like "wtf..alien!" cause I'm the only person that wears it.
It's not that I was worried for myself, because the likely hood of me catching what the kid had is like slim to none, it's the fact..I had 1 patient...they had several.
Meh...
I've decided I love kids...when I get to leave after playing with them all day. I'm going to spoil Lyn's behbehs rotten if'n she ever has them. And then, at the end of the day, they're going home to mommy and aunt clipsey, is going to have a nice restful sleep....while mommy Lyn...curses me for making her kids heathens!
