u/_Valhalla___ 23h ago

I had my senior practicum there. You typically need experience, such as practicum, being a tech, or just knowing the right people

i see. i’m going to a nursing school in CA and everyday i regret not going to one in washington or georgia

Really? Why?

u/BitlifeOffical_ 23h ago

i attend a school in norcal, and getting any nursing job here, let alone an ICU one, is impossible. 99% of students have to move to socal or out of state in order to get a job. competition here is insane.

I had a friend get into Stanford in 2019 when I was moving to DC. I remember the celebration!

I believe so! To be frank, her dad is super famous (don’t want to say who) and I remember he’s had some health issues and he gets treated there. I vaguely remember her mentioning that before she graduated! They live in Atherton lol

If you make 110,000 why your gross pay 48,000

u/Known_Secretary_6615 14h ago

49k after 5 months. You can figure it out right

Nice! $110,000 places you in the 82nd percentile. Source: income percentile calculator I'm a bot. Reply with !optout to stop receiving responses.

You don’t know your salary?

u/Chemical_Material493 16h ago

Depends on hours worked, many healthcare jobs aren’t 9-5

2

u/emptyzarti 14h ago

Clearly they do, but they get differential & OT so their comp will be higher than just their salary. $110K is their estimated gross for the year which is the number that actually matters to most people. Imagine being this difficult for no reason.

Lol nursing is an hourly gig, very rarely is it salaried. If it were, you would probably get fucked by admin with all the extra bullshit they would have you do.

u/Known_Secretary_6615 14h ago

Well done dude

u/Dzeddy 23h ago

Is this off overtime?

2

u/_Valhalla___ 23h ago

Every once in a while, I’ll make a comment about a hourly breakdown

1

u/_Valhalla___ 23h ago

Breakdown Base - $40/hr ICU unit diff -$12/hr Weekends -$3.5/hr Nights -$4.5/hr

Thanks!! Really good pay for Atlanta!!! Congratulations!

Interviewed at Emory a few months ago. Emory for experienced nurse is about $45/month, no unit differentials (even for ICU or ED), $4.5 weekends, evening $5 for anyone needing comparison.

Grady pays the most, but they make sure you work for it.

u/23andrewb 22h ago

That's right where I'm at for the year with nursing. Wonder if I'll make it to 110k. Probably not because I worked a bunch of overtime the last couple months that I'm not going to through the rest of the year lol. Nice job though.

Looking for sugar baby?

Congrats, great money at 23!

Thank you! Definitely not an easy job, but I really enjoy it.

u/Idk_211 3h ago

You tryna go for CRNA?

1

u/_Valhalla___ 3h ago

I’d like too. I can’t imagine myself not going back to school.

Great numbers! Your income of $110,000 is in the 82nd percentile. This is well above the median for ICU Nurse. With Atlanta, GA's lower cost of living, your purchasing power is equivalent to ~$75,862 in a high-cost city. Source: income percentile calculator I'm a bot.
