I quit my staff job to be a travel nurse – now I make £2k a week and can easily afford designer Louis Vuitton bags
A CLEVER woman has revealed how she managed to triple her salary by making a simple switch.
XueXia Bruton took to her social media page to share a brief history of her career in a short clip for her 90,000 viewers to see and take inspiration from.
“Why I quit my staff job to be a travel nurse,” she first wrote, starting off the video.
She then showed her MacBook Air’s screen, where she was browsing a stunning Louis Vuitton handbag worth £1,970.
Over this, she wrote: “Make 3x my salary,” followed by a dollar emoji.
XueXia then held out her hand to touch the screen before editing the clip to reveal the real-life handbag sitting right in front of her.
The travel nurse then shared a corner of her laptop screen where a set of figures could be seen.
“Weekly paychecks,” she wrote over this, showing viewers that she makes between £1,860 and £2,040 per week.
That means in one month, she can make anywhere between £7,440 and £8,160.
With this being three times her previous job as a staff member at a hospital, it means her salary before this was around £2,480-£2,720.
In the next scene of her clip, TikTok user @xuebru dunked a camera below the sea to go snorkelling as she told viewers that she can “choose where I travel to,” with a world emoji.
People flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts as one person wrote: “ive meet alot of travel nurses with and without kids , if u want it go get it ladies and gents ..”
Another said: “Doing the same job for twice the pay, and you get to move every 13ish weeks. Duhhh. No brainer. lol. I was a traveler for 6 yrs. Now a NP. Enjoy!”
While a third added: “That sounds like a dream job!”
Meanwhile, over on XueXia’s Instagram page, she shared a separate video to explain what being a travel nurse actually is.
“So what is travel nursing?” she first questioned. “Well, you’re a licensed nurse that works independently.
“You collaborate with different agencies and recruiters, who submit you to different hospitals.
“You help support short-staffed hospitals for a certain amount of time.”
She went on to share that she’s able to choose wherever she wants to work within the US.
And in return “these travel agencies are the ones paying you,” which she said saves the hospitals money.
“And that’s why travellers make so much,” she added as the video came to an end.
Meanwhile, one person told The Sun they dropped out of uni and quit their job when their side hustle took off… and now he makes six figures.
And one person quit their job to run a successful business that started as her side hustle – her sales double every year.
