Hello all, I am currently negotiating a salary for my new position in quality & patient safety at a major hospital located in NYC. The official job title would be Quality & Safety Patient Specialist. There are managers & directors above me, so I would be at the bottom of the hierarchy. I currently hold a Bachelors degree and a have 7+ years of bedside experience. I told the hiring manager when I initially interviewed I was OK with a salary of $90,000. She kind of caught me off guard, and I should have thought more carefully before answering, or told her I could answer that question after more thought. But now I think that's too little. As a bedside nurse with 7+ years of experience in this same hospital I would make more than $90,000. I have a friend who is a nursing supervisor in the same hospital who has the same work & education experience I do and she makes $120,000 (obv not the same job title, but only stating this for comparison purposes) If any of you QI/QPS people could let me know what salaries you make or provide insight as to what salary you think would suit me, I would greatly appreciate it. I know talking about money can become a tacky subject, but I strongly believe in equal pay as I once was paid less than a male counterpart. I have scoured through Glassdoor.com and can't really find a salary that best represents this job title. I've tried going on indeed.com to find QI jobs with salaries listed, but no luck. Thanks in advance!
