? average salary in same day surgery center

[mamaRN-09]

Hello fellow nurses,

I am a new grad RN with 7 years experience as an LVN in a same day surgery center. I have recently been offered a job at a center as an RN in Northern CA. I am in the process of negotiating my pay. I don't know if the offer is too low or right on the mark. If anyone can give me advice on their salary, I would greatly appreciate it. I am having a hard time finding out this info. A lot of facilities dont post salaries. Any advice would be great even advice on how to find this type of info. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I usually go to salary.com and type in the zip code, gives a fairly accurate range of what nurses actually make in a given area.

Northern california is a large place, someone who works in rural redding is going to make much less than someone who works in San Francisco...
