Remember your FIRST paycheck?!

Published

What did you do with your FIRST paycheck?? (spa, manicure, shopping, savings, kids..etc.)

How much was it?

How much did you work?

(I'm a broke student that needs motivation.)

Specializes in Medical/Tele.

$1200 for my first RN paycheck. I went to the MOA and went wild in my fav store UO and spent way over 600 dollars! I had just enough left over for rent that month!

Specializes in Corrections, Cardiac, Hospice.

I had just found out I was pregnant with my first child. Went and got new carpet, crib and dresser, ROFL.

Specializes in ICU/Critical Care.

Hmmm. I moved out with my first check. Got my own apartment.

Specializes in OB, NICU, Nursing Education (academic).

Gosh....this won't provide any motivation at all!!!

I graduated 25 years ago from my BSN program. My first job, day shift base pay was a depressing (now, anyway) $8 / hour. I think I bought some new clothes, among other things.
