Yeeeess!!! This! True and real information. Watcha nurse Judy with $40k a month, when family practice MDs are also struggling to make ends meet. Asante 🥰. Struggling oncology pharmacist myself. 😊.
One thing about this Nurse she has a contract with an agency where the agency takes approximately 27 dollar per hour so don't expect she will have alot more left but once the contract is over like she said it gets better with time...Nurse Judy has no agency she's paid her full amount She has a contract on travel nursing where the rates are high plus she lives in California where rates per hour is quite high...do your research well
You are right .But my channel is about starting life in USA as anew immigrant nurse.Most of my followers are coming with agencies.And those coming with direct hire should forget about$100 per hr for their first yrs.Ofcoz .Judy puts it so clear in her first yrs that she wasn't earning $100.
Thanks for the info... kindly do a video on the clinical transition bit ie the similarities vs differences and also major challenges as a new immigrant nurse
The best thing that agencies like Avant and Medpro does is to recruit nurses and bring them to USA for work. They know what hospitals need and what they are willing to pay. Some nurses “Kemboi” from the jobs and contracts, however this has a long term for future nurses from the specific country, that’s why for example the agencies mentioned above don’t recruit nurses from Nigeria. As for those nurses that want to come and work in USA, seek the agencies now, because in future anything can happen, including stricter rules, or agencies stopping recruitment from Kenya.
Once the nurse has a green card and some work history, they can seek work at other facilities and states, depending on pay, cost of living personal preference etc. For people that have green card already or those that are USA citizens, they can attend nursing school and get financial assistance from the government to pay for school.
Yes you can,but the first months its so tricky to many people since you have to learn the system.its kind of double pressure having to learn two different systems at ago while new in this country
Hey, when you relocate as a direct hire nurse and for example its 3yr contract with a hospital, do they allow you to do overtime or do shifts from others hospitals?
Hi Dear Did you have to pass NCLEX in Africa before Avan process or brought you to America? How long did it take Avan to process you coming to America?
Housing depends with the city you are in and the type of hospital.if near arefferal hosp ,rent will be higher than one in a small hosp though the agent pays you the same rate
Great content here,, keep up,,, may i ask,,,, with the 1000 dollars goverment deduction in 2 weeks,, is this a flat rate deduction all long or the amount will change with time n deduct more?
Hi Juliet.You just need to read and understand your contract.Follow whatever rules are in their.But then on the ground' you need to do what you need to do'.Hope you understand
Hi dear.One of my videos explains how one can get a job without agent.Yes,Bsn earns alittle more.but while still with the agency,the pay is the same and everyone is treated as a new graduate
Thanks for this information. I want to point out that this is the snapshot of a nurse brought by agency to work in the USA under contract. Keep in mind that the hospital spends about $20,000 upwards to secure that work visa for the nurse. USA law forbids a company from charging someone to give them work. Therefore the hospital pays the nurse less money for the length of the contract (I believe it’s 2 years H1B) while they recover their expenses. After 2 years the nurse can extend the contract for another 2 years, usually with a pay rise. At some point the hospital might sponsor the nurse for a green card, hoping that the nurse will feel loyal to the hospital and stay there longer. For context the work visa requirements is that the candidate will be employed by that specific employer only. But once the nurse is here, they can “cheza kama yeye” especially if they are working in an area that has other immigrant nurses
after how long are you allowed to do extra jobs? I heard that nursing and other medical profession pays well at the US and I went ahead and search online the payment of salaries, it was a million Kenya shillings if you are a nurse and if you are an emergency nurse moving from one state to the other is 2million,kindly assist on this
Hi Naomi.After orientation you are allowed to do extra shifts somewhere from 6 to 9 weeks.Its true their is good pay,you have described traveling nurses and you are very right about the pay.I just talk from my experience am not a traveling nurse.
