Is this episode, you’ll further understand the dynamics of nursing pay. I started as a nurse in KS & went on to be a travel nurse & staff nurse in the Bay Area and then again in Fresno, CA. Through working in 4 different hospital systems, I have come to understand more insider RN dynamics than an average nurse that stays at the same hospital throughout their entire career. My hope is that this information that I provide helps you figure out if you want to become a nurse and where you wish to practice. (All of this information is from my previous 8 years of being a staff nurse and travel nurse.) If you are a nurse or nursing student listening to this, I just want to send you a giant hug and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service in this world!
