But congrats to your cuz. She will enjoy the job. Most females do. Until they get hit with reality. Hopefully she's strong mentally to withstand what she will inevitably experience.

About 1/3 are male on my unit and in the ED it’s over half males. Guys are finding out that nursing now pays a decent wage with low level of formal education to get started. Female nurses break down all the time, usually in a demanding unit when the pressure is on mentally. Seen quite a few where charge has to tell them to leave the floor for 15 mins to collect themselves. Just had a male nurse I heard crying in restroom cause he can’t hang.

I’m emotional but usually won’t show it but it gets to you sometimes. Had a guy’s wife dying of cancer and he came out of the room calm, asked to speak with me and broke down sobbing begging me to tell him how much longer she had to live... 2 weeks ago we had an older patient on floor not DNR but should have been for a month, pt family always wanted me to be his nurse. One night he had massive brain hemorrhage, called a code, cpr while the family I got to know over the month cause they were there every waking minute, distraught. Transferred to ICu as rest of family showed up. I was literally holding both his daughters up as they were inconsolable, I shed some tears as well.

Before that had a DNR pt that family would never come and visit. In her last dying hours, I was in her room just talking to her, holding her hand as the RR nurse came in who i know. She asked what I was doing, I Bert stared her and said no one wants to die alone... I could feel her soul being crushed as she said she was so sorry and left the room about to cry. They don’t prepare you for these moments in school.


Also my first year I was at 55k, now almost 3yrs in I’m past 100k.

Fellow nurse reps off spread.

Yeah nursing seems stressful af. One reason I'm choosing a PA specialization that doesn't revolve around a hospital instead.

That's a national average.

I was making close to 80k my first year as an RN. 3 years later i'm already in the 6 figures. No not 160k but i'm not entirely far from it.

the national avg RN yearly income is about $73,000

Mirin, GMBrah

It's how i was able to pay off the C7Z in full

nurses don't make 160k a year generally

.I would say it or a non sloot doctor sloot but you’d probably never see her so it may not be worth it. My aunt was a surgeon and she was never home man.

a non sloot nurse would be the GOAT wife

Didn't want to get a 718 Cayman like Testi?

They do on the coasts. 100k+ isn't crazy at all, lol@the misc meltdown over this.

That's like getting a CLA250 and bragging you got a benz LOL

great white buffalo

0-60 in 4.1 as tested by car and driver ain't bad

has like 5 hp less than a 911 carrera

fwiw, my neighbor had mentioned that he's gonna move back to florida and take a big pay cut

Why are nurses such sloots?

That's like getting a CLA250 and bragging you got a benz LOL

I love porsche. But the boxster and the cayman i don't consider real porsches. Because they're weak. They're budgeted low so people who love porsche can have a chance to own one.

Even the cayman GTS is priced at 80k, and it's a 4cyl. With 365hp.

80k?? LMAO

personally, i'm not gonna be risking my life doing canyon runs with a porsche, so my next car will just be a gt mustang with a faster 0-60 at almost 1/3rd of the price

the best deal at his price range for performance is a 1le. barely slower than an LFA around a track. faster than all ferraris ever lol. ridiculous

I been searching for the past 10 months or so on what car i should get next for my daily.

A mustang GT, oddly enough, was one of the cars on the list. And i would get it with the new 10 speed.

The engine is stout, the 10 speed is incredible, and i kinda like the way the new new mustangs look. I think new body style started in 2016? That body style is nice. But i won't be crashing into any crowd, because i'm naturally a corvette guy. And we don't crash into crowds lol

I could imagine, a high level nurse that lives in an expensive area who has no life and just works all of the time. A nurse that just works 40hrs a week isn't going to make 1/3 of that.

160k sounds like hes frauding or putting in a TON of OT.

They do make good $ tho I dated an RN a few years ago and she was 20 years old and making 70k. fuuuaarrrkkkkk.

If i made $70k at 20 years old I would EASILY be retired by now (100% srs)

You must not have read the thread.

That's a NATIONAL average, depending on location and which you're working at. I was hired just shy of 80k my first day. 3 years later well past 100k.

Don't forget nursing is a CAREER. Not just a job. I can move anywhere and get hired. That's not always the case for most jobs people have here.

lmao

the new body style is the only one i like, although the one before it wasn't bad. black on black on black with the 10 speed and that magneride business would be dope

Traveling nurses make serious money.
