I need to know the starting pay

[proud nurse]

I had an interview recently. The person interviewing me is the supervisor of the department. The interview went great, but she didn't discuss how much the position paid and I didn't bring it up. I've read that asking about salary is not proper interview etiquette.

Here's my problem...I've been invited to shadow for a few hours. How can I go about asking before I shadow? I don't want to waste my time moving forward with this process if the pay is less than what I make now. But the pay could be great, and I don't want to potentially ruin it by asking. Soon I will be sending an email thanking her for the interview. I so badly want to sneak in a question about the salary in that email.

Have you seen a significant difference between men and women in any aspect of negotiations?

No. At least not in hospitals or clinics. Nurses are a commodity. Everybody makes roughly the same pay for many reasons.
