Negotiating Salaries

Hi all! I am a new to management coming from charge nurse PP nurse! I've been interviewing for an assistant nurse manager position and Im fairly certain Ill get a call tomorrow offering me a position. 

I know as someone with no management position my salary would at be the low end of the salary scale listed for the position. 

My question is with bedside RNs getting $10k-20k sign on bonuses, does middle management ever get a sign on bonus?

    Sometimes, if it's a hard to fill job. When I've been recruited for leadership positions, they generally came with sign-ons, relocation expenses, etc. However, if they have not budgeted a big sign-on bonus into the recruitment of this position, it's unlikely you will get it (a bonus that high would be considered a capital-level expense, and those go through a special approval process). You would probably be more successful negotiating a higher salary than a sign-on bonus.

    I mean, you could certainly ASK the HR rep if there is a sign-on associated with the position.

    Typically not. If I saw a sign-on bonus for middle management, I'd consider it a red flag.
