I did a clinical at a alzheimer's unit in Tigard during my Master's program. At that time the Director was receiving around 45-47,000 a year. That Director was also a ARNP. In Seattle as DON in an Assisted Living I make between 48-50,000 a year depending on bonuses for no-overtime and staff turnover. With 5 years of nursing expereince and an almost finished Masters in nursing. I would suggest searching on google for salary comparisons for your area to see what a HSD is making. You have the years of nursing expereince to negotiate a respectable salary.
