I am looking for advice on salary and benefits. I started my nursing career in Denver as a new grad at a HealthOne facility. I loved it! Minus the pay...but it was a job. I stayed there for almost 3 years, and over that time my pay rose from a base pay of $22/hr to a little under $26/hr. I've been travel nursing for about the past 1.5 years and, obviously, am making a lot of money now. But, I'm looking to head back to Denver. I've been offered my old job back, which I am happy with. I love my boss, my co-workers, and my unit. (Don't try to talk me out of it. I know it's HCA, but when you are happy with your co-workers and boss, that's hard to not go back to.) I am going to go into the negotiations part next week with HR and am wondering what I'm worth now? I have quite a skewed view on pay right now, coming from the lowest paying company as a new grad to start, to travel nursing. As someone with 4.5 year of experience, what's reasonable to ask for in Denver now? And, what about accrual? Thanks so much for your help guys!
