Negotiating Pay

Published

I'm currently applying to various positions in a field that I've been in for about 2.5 years, and was wondering how do other nurses go about negotiating their hourly wage?

I've only had one nursing job and the HR department said the salary couldn't be negotiated. So, I have nothing to base it off of.

Any suggestions/ advice?

I was able to negotiate a pretty good rate "off the grid", but had been working for that employer for at least a solid year and knew they were very happy with me. If this new place you're looking into has super-high turnover, that may be a sign that they don't offer very competitive wages.

Oh wow that's awesome.
