Thanks all! This helps me be more realistic. Thanks for your help!

Hopefully it can't be worse than Louisiana? Oh well, we will see. I'm willing to take the risk!

Thank you so much! We rent, so it will ease the transition. So I guess I won't know until I receive some offers. I am worried about ageism, not wanting to hire me because it's more expensive? For many places it seems they are more concerned with profits. In fact that's part of why we're relocating, there just aren't many opportunities here. Hopefully the "wiggle room" won't be an issue and I will be paid appropriately according to experience. As far as travel nursing, it seems to complicate the process from all that I've researched, so I will attempt to be hired somewhere prior to relocating and maybe they'll help reimburse for some of the moving expenses, if I'm lucky :) Thanks again!

Hi y'all! I am planning to relocate from Louisiana to Denver and am wondering how to negotiate salary. I have 26 years experience, mostly geri-psych. How do I know what to ask for? Do I go by my current salary and adjust upwards according to the percentage increase in the cost of living? Will it be difficult to get a job prior to moving? I was considering doing a travel assignment, but that would make me itinerant because I will be abandoning my tax home by moving. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
