New grad BSN

Published

So I am currently finishing my first year in a BSN-RN program in Georgia. When I graduate I plan on moving back home with my parents in southern California, I plan on living with them so that I can repay my student loans and pay back my dad. I've been doing some research so I can try an budget a repayment plan but I've seen some varying information and I was hoping someone can shed some insight on a few questions I have. First, what can expect to make as a new grad nurse in the Riverside county area, if anyone can speak from experience I would really appreciate it. Second, I really want to work my ass off and work a lot of hours, between classes ( 10 hrs/week), clinicals (14 hrs/week), and my current job (22-34 hrs/week), and studying when I can, I'm okay with having no social life for the time being, I was wondering if its possible to work around 50-60 hrs a week? Lastly, I was wondering what kind of things I can be doing to get extra experience and increase my chances of getting a job? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
