You'd need to discuss that with the individual facilities. It's generally based on your experience, references, and the facility budget. It should be competitive. That's true in any company. There can't be much talk of specific salaries because they're in FTC negotiations finishing up the Gambro Healthcare acquisition so there's a lot that can't be said publicly. I know there are a number of positions in the LA area, however. I'm giving serious thought to travelling, myself (though NOT there - I'm a small town girl).
