TCU Nurse Manager Salary Question

Hello All

This is my first post so I'm not sure if this is the best place to start this thread.

I am considering applying for a nurse manager position on a transitional care unit (19 beds) that is part of the hospital (222 beds) where I currently work in the ED as a staff RN. I'm hoping that I can get some idea of what they might offer in terms of salary so I know whether to even apply or not.

I have been an RN for 2.5 years with 6 months of that full time in critical care, then 14 months full time in patient placement at a different hospital, while at the same time I worked for my current employer as an occassional RN where I floated to all departments/units except OB and OR, and most recently I have been full time in the ED for the past 4-5 months. I live in Michigan and currently make $25/hr., not including my night shift diff.

I have been approached by management to apply for the nurse manager job so I'm confident that I will satisfy their experience requirements. In addition, I changed careers in my late-40s and do have a little experience in management outside of healthcare, plus a ton of "life experience" to bring to the table.

I have tried a few of the online salary calculators but there is a lot of discrepency between them. Any input I can get will be greatly appreciated!
