I returning to work

I am returning to work as a RN after several years of taking care of my elderly parents who have recently died. I'm looking at several hospitals in the western suburbs of Chicago and am a little amazed at the current compensation and benefit packages. Is $1.00 an hour a good shift differential in today's market for an AM/PM shift? My starting wage is $24.00 an hour for a AM shift. How much flexibility do I have with negotiating with an employer?

I'm new to this website and using the internet to chat so any help would be appreciated.

I would look around at other hospitals. I am not familiar with what the suburbs pay, though. The $1 shift diff seems on the low side. Are you a new grad? Then $24 might be about right, I am not positive though. You can try negotiating though.

That shift differential is less than what I found, just to give you some idea:

PMs/eves: 2.50/hr

Night: 4.00/hr

Wknd: +4.00/hr

(so weekend nights are $8.00/hr!) I'll need to refer back to this post and how excited I am about this when I am complaining about working e/o weekend :lol2:

Hope this helps.
