Well I accepted the job today. I talked to several of my friends and one being a nurse recommended not to negotiate with the salary since all the hospitals around this area is offering about the same amount for new grads. The hospital does not reimburse for toll fees but I was told that EZ pass has commuters discounts~!! So I only pay $20 for 50 trips as appose to $100 for 50 trips, which would save a lot of money!! I'm so excited to start my training in 2 weeks~!! YAY~!!!

I just graduated nursing school in May and got an offer to work in the OR starting in 2 weeks. I didn't accept the offer yet because I wasn't sure if it was a normal thing to negotiate with the salary as a new grad without any experience and/or to ask for reimbursement for toll fees that I must pay to get to work everyday. I know with other jobs it is wise to negotiate a little with the first offer they make...but I had a feeling that it might not be the case with nursing as an inexperience new grad.
