,000 is peanuts in places like CA, WA, NY etc but keep in mind, Texas is about 1/3 cheaper to live in than these other places. Since I am married and have two kids I don’t usually go out and do anything crazy on the weekends so working Friday and Saturday nights was not a huge sacrifice for me. Prior to entering school I spent a lot of time investigating salaries and pay in the DFW area (that’s where we lived). A recent study by NPR listed that 80% of ALL individuals in the United States make LESS than ,000 (image posted below. According to the NACE website, they list the highest starting salary was for Engineers at ~,000. Not a ton, but there are SO many ways that nurses can make more (education, position change, certification, career ladder). So, ,000 in Texas is more like 0,000 in a more expensive state/city. If you take just three days off you can have over two week off. not a week has passed that overtime or BONUS shifts has not been offered to the nursing staff.
Like most hospitals, my hospital has a retention program for all nurses as well as a clinical ladder. For the most part during the entire first year I worked 2 weekend nights a month. With very simple planning you can workout to have VERY long vacations! If my calculations were right I figured I would make about about ,000 – ,000 more as a nurse and have a couple more days off a week to maybe mow yards or something to make ends meet. Pay for extra shifts starts at /hr on top of ALL other differentials, and all hours worked over 40 are paid at time and a half. By simply staying at my job I continue to make more money. Doing this brought my average pay for the 3 – 12 hour shifts to about /hour. Here are how the differentials worked out at my hospital: So even as a new grad I was able to make up to /hour if I worked nights and weekends. Exactly how all this works is still a bit of a mystery, but it is fascinating to watch whether you're a child or an adult!

I was lucky out of school to get a job in a Level I Trauma ICU right out of school (how I did that is a discussion for another time). These enzymes start the process of sending out roots and sprouting the first parts of the plant. As the seed soaks up water, its food stored inside begins to be converted into energy in the form of enzymes. Amazingly, scientists still don't fully understand what all happens inside of a seed as it comes to life. Whether you plant them in moist soil or simply wrap them in a moist paper towel, they will begin to come to life. All it usually takes to wake them up, though, is just to add water. When you get dry seeds at a gardening store, the seeds are, which means they're inactive. As the plant grows and needs more water, roots will grow longer and stretch farther to find the necessary water in the soil. Once a seed sends out roots, these roots will deliver water from the soil to the plant. Light, whether from the Sun or an artificial light source (like a light bulb), gives the small plant the energy it needs to begin is the process the plant uses to convert light energy into food. It contains the food the seed needs while it is growing roots and forming into a small plant. Despite their small size, though, seeds contain food and all the instructions necessary to it takes from the soil, it will grow into a larger plant.
The three things plants need to grow are light, food and water. Let's head over to the Wonderopolis garden and take a closer look at what's going on underground! Without seeds, there would be no plants and Earth would be a place that would not support the many forms of life that surround us every day.
