I Tried to Negotiate My Salary as a New Grad Nurse-Here's What Happened | Negotiating Your Salary

[@MrJbee1982]

Always try to negotiate. Doesn't matter what he says. You have to try and relate any experience to the job you are applying to as long as you're not "reaching". Hiring managers are going to ĺow ball you and you need to get that 1 or w dollar increase they don't want you to know about.

I have decided I will try to negotiate at every single job I apply for moving forward. Nursing or otherwise. Might as well try

[@NurseMoneyTalk]

Agreed!!! kzbin.inforrLDOa9zxOs

[@communitysolutionspro1520]

Good information. I never hear nurses say they negotiated for their salary

[@NurseMoneyTalk]

I wish it was something that was talked about more.

I’ve been a LVN for 3 years and CNA for 5 years… do you think this will help my negotiation process?! That’s about 8 years of being in the field so I hope it helps me with my RN salary…

[@fp1912]

I hope so! I’m in the same boat and want to leverage my experience for a higher starting rate 🤞

I dont understand the "they spend money training you" argument. I feel like that is what a HR person tells you as a potential employee. They don't spend money training you, you are on orientation for however long under another nurse and slowly become autonomous - if they consider that having to pay to train you...then ask them if you will be compenstated more when you have to take more than average patient numbers due to lack of staff. Hospitals find ways to not pay nurses to have to do more, that's partly why hospitals are in the predicament that they are - having to pay a hundred or two hundred dollars an hour to a travel agency for a nurse. That right there should be a nuke in your back pocket when considering a job. If they have open travel nurse positions, and you want to become staff, make them realize the dollars they would be saving in the difference giving you a 20% more better offer vs paying the agency 3 or 4x what they offered you to begin with. "Travel nursing wont be around forever" - statistically, it's not going anywhere anytime soon and you have the chance to nab a great worker right now (list what advantages you have).

Great thought I think it is always good to apply at multiple places, let them know, and then ask them if they are able to do better... Respectfully.

[@NurseMoneyTalk]

Agreed! Give yourself more options.
