"Hmmm, im full time and at the beginning of the pay scale and i make about 2300 after taxes…im surprised that with 3 years of experience and part time, it only comes out to 2600😩 is nursing really a scam."
enowmuriel4 added:
"$900 for rent tell me the place in Ontario because rents is crazy for an apartment Thank you for this video. I remember when i graduated and was looking for work it was so hard coming across payday videos for Canadian nurses which gives us a little bit of an idea of how much new nurses might earn."
T • The Host shared:
"I have heard a couple folks do part-time instead of fulltime - was that an intentional choice? What sparked the selection?"
Oh_hey_chante noted:
"With those hours I can tell you were 12hr shifts so any time you pick up your 7th shift, remind the time keeper that you’re supposed to be paid OT for 3.75hrs! This way you’re not waiting until next pay."

"I do the same thing. One for bills and one to save. I wish I was making more as a nurse here. These taxes 😭."
