I am currently an lpn in philadelphia working in dialysis. I take my NCLEX-RN boards in a few weeks. I want to re-negotiate my salary/hourly pay after I pass but, I don't know how much to "appropriately" ask for. I don't want to undercut myself or to overshoot myself.
Is there anyone who can give me the current pay rates for New grads in dialysis. I feel very fortunate to have a job lined up as a new grad but, I don't want to keep being paid as an lpn (Kinda dismisses the whole idea of going back to school).
Also, should I ask for more pay than a traditional new grad since, I already have dialysis experience. I just wanted to bounce these ideas off of a few people and get your opinions. I really appreciate any of your thoughts.
Thank you:redbeathe (I also posted this under the Renal specialty forum)
I'm an LVN student nurse and I am looking to get into diaylsis when I graduate in October. I was wondering what would be the best avenue for gaining employment as a new grad.
i, too, am a dialysis RN in philadelphia. out of school, with my BSN at 22, i was making $25/hour for a LARGE hemodialysis provider. now, a little more than 3 years later, i am running the clinic i started in as CM, making $11 more than i was. there is room for advancement; however, i walked into a sane clinic + had kept it that way for 3 years as charge.
