Well, now he has made another point which required him to make a reference to, and completely change the details of the previous exchange you had with him.
Semantics I guess.
Anyone who thinks we’re making this up can easily go to the beta orbiter thread and see the original exchange.

you know I never bothered to check his sources… let’s google
Registered Nurses made a median salary of $71,730 in 2018. The best-paid 25 percent made $88,350 that year, while the lowest-paid 25 percent made $58,770.
Am I missing something here? Where’d that 44k a year come from? an RN makes a pretty decent living wage right out the gate. See, I threw the number out there just by the women I knew that became RN’s when I was struggling coming out of college without even looking it up. They were pretty much guaranteed a job after graduating, and most of them were dumb as rocks. Logic would tell you that this is why there was such an explosion in the number of women going into the profession in the last decade.
Yup…

I am pretty tired so could you explain?
We were discussing nurse pay right out of college. These numbers are average earnings across nursing, which includes nurses with advanced degrees and decades of experience. It’s an entirely different thing.
And your link calculated the median based on those different metrics? I fucking doubt that but again I could be wrong, mind sharing it?
I personally know RN’s that graduated and went right into making 70,80 and even higher with overtime pay. Again, my viewpoint is based on coastal metropolitan areas but I already mentioned this a number of times.
Glass door is telling me a new grad is usually around 60k. No where I’m looking has any new grad making 44k median salary in the nursing field.
I’m open to admitting my google skills are off right now, I’m exhausted, but please do share your skills with me I you would and show me how you came up with that number
There’s a difference between median pay and starting pay… I doubt it was a calculation, but I would have to try and find the data again. We also weren’t talking specifically about RNs iirc.
Why in the world would you include overtime pay? I know a fork truck driver that made 6 figures with overtime pay.
Also, to the point you were trying to make, 2% of women in the US are nurses. The 98% has to do something else… That’s not exactly and overwhelming opportunity specifically for women (ignoring the 300k or so men that are nurses…).
oooooohhhh so now we’re talking about the point I was trying to make. lol
And we weren’t talking about RNs? so what the fuck were we talking about then? I mean, I’m pretty damn sure I referenced 4 year degrees so I’d assume and hey I could be totally wrong considering my audience, that these would be RNs because that is sure as hell what I was referencing. And I don’t think I included overtime pay in my original point, I was just mentioning in it now.
I’m still interested in this 44k figure and what that was about so when you get a chance please do share. Median pay, starting pay, you’re all over the place man. I just linked to where median pay was well above the 44k, and starting pay for college grads at 59,549 or whatever glass door has. I’m not saying I’m right here but this is what I’m seeing.
My grandfather was a WW2 vet and English professor. He would correct a stranger’s English, provided they should know better, and no one did anything about it.
I was talking about the point you were trying to make in that thread too.
I don’t recall RNs or 4 year degrees being reference, but this just goes back to how unclear you are when you post.
I’m not. I have always been talking about average starting pay or median starting pay. Whatever the stats showed. I don’t recall off the top of my head.
God damn it I just burnt my grilled xheese

don’t make me hungry. I’m dieting.
find the link when you can
I think, at this point, we can all agree to this sentiment.
In my defense I make it a point to literally talk about nothing and see how long it can go on for …

For sure, half the shit I say is strictly to get the other person to talk so I can read. IRL I dont really talk a lot at all. Usually just grunts and hand gestures.
Which reading in text makes me sound like a Grand Autist, but I just find it easier
Ya, I am too. It’s for my kids.
This is what I reference in the Beta Orbit thread ($25k-$50k):
The $44K was for LPNs and LVNs.

So the entire basis of your buddies in here ripping is over this crappy site? Where even so, right there in the beginning it says this:
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics latest data (as of 2015)the average salary of a registered nurse in the United States is **$71,000 . The average hourly wage of a registered nurse is $34.14 . Keep in mind that these are only averages. A registered nurse may make more or less than these amounts based on location, experience, and other factors. In addition, the starting salaries for an RN may be much less than the average salary.
Even if we stay specific to ‘starting salary’ most nurses are making 50-60k to start.
And I specifically said coming out of college, I’m pretty damn sure I said that so LPNs won’t even apply here to this argument.
Well then. This was a good one.
I don’t understand the confusion. RNs make $25 to $50k out of college. Not $60k. Not $70k. Not $80k. $25-50.
The BLS number is the average for ALL RNs. Nurses with advanced degrees / certifications and experience.
It would be like me saying, coming out of college accountants make $100k. No, coming out of college accounts make like $55-$60k, but CPAs with a decade of experience and an MST makes $100k+. Are you really not getting this?
