Thank you comment icon Hey Damien! My sister was an RN, specifically a cardiac ICU nurse, in the SF Bay Area having worked in a major children's hospital in Palo Alto and also in SF. I asked her for her thoughts. Here's what she said: "No, I think starting is minimum mid-60s but I guess it depends where you work, such as inpatient or outpatient. In 2016, with one year of experience starting there, I was given somewhere around $68." Again, a lot of variables like the unit you're on, the hospital you're at, if it's unionized, etc., but I hope this helps! It's an incredibly important and meaningful profession that cannot be outsourced or replaced, so it's a career that will be in need for a long long time! yoonji KIM, Admin

Hello Damien,

In the great state of California, it's mandatory for larger corporations to disclose their salary ranges when advertising job vacancies. This is a fantastic opportunity for you! By selecting a few of these larger companies and exploring their career sites, you can gain valuable insight into their compensation practices.

Remember, while many organizations will present a wide salary range, for example, 25 - 45, they typically plan their budget around the lower to middle part of this range, say 25 - 35. So, keep this in mind as it will likely represent the pay they have allocated for the role.

This knowledge can empower you in your job search, helping you make informed decisions about potential employers. Happy hunting!

A nurse is a jack of all trades, I have worked on a hospital floor, in nursing homes and home health, worked for the state, and worked from home. When short staffed I have done CNA work after my nursing duties. You get report, review your patient's information, pass meds, hang IV's do wound care, give baths, answer questions, take call lights, do rounds with the MDs, take off orders, make sure patients get to all their testing, do assessments, teaching, discharges, maybe get to the bathroom, hold hands with upset or dying patient's, call Drs, contact family, care for the deceased person, do take downs of patients if needed, do personal care, change beds, clean people up, review labs, participate in codes, help out other team members, and chart, and get ready to give report. Give hugs if needed, comfort patients who are scared, be with the deceased's family, clean the floors, figure out how to communicate with those that do not speak English then go home. Hard work yes, it is different every day. And I am sure I have missed a few things!
