Hello. Transitioning from floor/icu nursing to telephonic/advice nurse position. I have over 10 years of experience and will be working per diem but not quite sure what to ask for when it comes to my base pay. To give you an idea, the HR told me that starting is $30/hour, midpoint is $41/hour. This is in Seattle area.
Since i have years of experience bedside nursing, and will not be getting benefits as a per diem nurse, I'm thinking of asking to get paid $50/hour. Is that too much? Please consider the fact that Seattle has one of the highest cost of living in the US and therefore the average pay for nurses is higher than the national average. Thank you all and appreciate your input.
