If asked, I would phrase a response with something like...what do you normally pay for a RN, BSN with XXX amount of clinical experience? At 20% to what they offer and negotiate from there.
Keep in mind that your hourly rate is only a single metric in your compensation package. Vacation, 401k contributions, stock options, etc are all super important.

I'm a new RN looking for my first RN position in California (LA / South Bay areas). I've been an LPN in LTC (but out of state) for 5 years. I'll also have my BSN in about a month. When applying to LTC, most ask what hourly rate I'm expecting. I'm not sure what to put, and have been stating "Negotiable" or leaving it blank.
What is a reasonable amount to ask for, or to accept if I'm offered a position?
Is there a difference between RN vs. BSN rates in LTC in California?
Thank you all.
