Just turned 28, California, Los Angeles county/OC county border - RN - 90k
My full time job is Registered Nurse for dialysis patients - People who have kidney failure for different reasons can be kept alive by going to dialysis 3x per week (on avg). Kidneys clean out the blood, since theirs aren't working, we clean their blood for them. One of their artery/veins are fused together and we poke them with 2 big needles, one to draw blood out, one to give them clean blood back, and it's filtered through a machine. Also give them medications, set up surgeries, give them their home medications, etc.
I work per diem doing other jobs, dialysis, prison, home health here and there as well.

But seriously, My entire family are nurses and I knew I would never be in that field. I gave it two honest tries in my life and both times, I just didn't like it. I "fell" into aviation and I absolutely love it. There's a lot of headaches, but I don't mind it and I actually do better than any of them now and still have room to grow.

How far does 80k really take you in DC? I had a similar monetary offer, and people were telling me that it is comparable to 50k in most cities

That's dope. My dad has been on dialysis since 1984 due to a failed kidney. He has to go 3x a week as well to constantly clean his blood. It's amazing how many people I've met at his clinc(s) that have passed away after being on dialysis for a few months, let alone now 30 years like my father. I live for that dude everyday so to see somebody on here working in that field is dope plus I know you from DFS. Appreciate your work bro.

My man Rook!
Winter times are rough for the old folks on dialysis. 30+ years on dialysis is really impressive, congrats on your strong genes.
I've been neglecting my DFS, haven't been able to put the time, effort, and research in to be successful this year, but every once in awhile I go in there to see ya'll flourishing

I'd imagine top reps in NYC get paid around 70k-75k. An average seller would pull around $40k-$45k around here.
