Minimum Salary for Staff RN Position

[Magen1021]

I am a new BSN grad applying for basically every job out there lol

A particular health system in my area consistently asks the question "Without committing to an amount, what is the minimum salary amount you would accept for this position?"

I don't really see why this question is relevant because, in all honesty, I just want a job! But, the question is there and I'm curious to know what is a reasonable amount to list as a new RN-BSN nurse. I obviously don't want to list anything too high, but I also don't want to risk looking too desperate by putting something ridiculously low

Any advice is greatly appreciated! :)

It depends on the type of job, where you live, and what the cost of living is there.

You can quickly google what new grad nurses are making in most metropolitan areas. You should be happy you got asked in the first place, you look more desperate by applying to every job out there than by what you ask for.

In mrchicago's neighborhood new grad nurses can make 50-60k a year depending on which shift they work.
