Am I being low-balled on pay?

[JPN_RN]

I got a job offer in Southern California at a flu-shot clinic for $17/hr. Granted, it's an easy job but I can't help but feel a little disrespected... To be fair, it is my first actual health-care job.

Too low for an RN, in my opinion. However, that state may not require nursing license to give immunizations, so they may not consider your license a benefit. If you think it is too low then you probably will not stay.

With ***** *********** they pay higher than $17/hr. I want to say their pay was $21/hr.

It's experience and you're getting paid for it. It is low but low pay is better than zero pay.

My agencies have contacted me in the past for flu clinic contracts. Pay was $30-$31. I live in southern ca. I think anything less than $30 in this area is a rip off. You can't live off of $17, then taxes. If you need some exp and have no other options then go for it but I would avoid it if I were you.
