How soon is too soon to ask for a raise?

Nurses Career Support

Published

I've been working as an RN at my hospital for a little over a year. (my 1 year being in july). I haven't gotten a raise yet.

Not that i expect a raise every year, but i feel like i should have at least something after 1 year of being employed. I was hired as a new grad and got new grad pay.

Am i being selfish in wanting a raise after 1 year? im not talking 5-10 dollar raise, even like 50 cents or a dollar. Whatever...it adds up!! How soon is too soon to mention it? we have our yearly appraisals coming up, hoping manager will mention something then.

How long was it before any one else got a raise?

at the risk of being labeled as out of touch and unhelpful, let me just say i have no idea what this says. the convention of this forum is to use english, properly written out, with capitalization and punctuation.

our salaries are evaluated annually and merit raises depend on overall performance eval, education, certs,etc. Market increases are not as often. I believe it is time to talk about it. Talk to your supervisor first, then HR if you do not get a satisfactory answer
