The only job offer I have is from a very nice hospital. They have excellent benefits and the nurse manger is such a sweet heart. I have a few issues however, for one they offered me $18.10 an hour. Is this too low for a new grad nurse? Also they only have about 2 CNA's working a 33 bed step down unit, and the nurse manager was admittedly short staffed and was expecting to hire a lot of new grads in the coming months. It sounds to me like this is going to be a really difficult floor. Especially if they are having to train all of us new grads. Should I hold out for something more appealing to me, or am I being totally unrealistic and this is just how it is in the real world?
