Thanks for the insight. Glad to hear you were able to get around it.

I had an interview for a RN (experienced) position and they offered me the job :) But, they are still determining the final salary offer. It seems hospitals in my area base RN pay on years worked and that's it. So my certification, extra projects and clinical ladder advancement at another hospital mean nothing. A RN who does nothing extra for the unit will get the same pay. Is is this typical in other areas and is there any way to overcome it? Do other hospitals count years worked prior to RN if they were in patient care? I think I would love the job, just not sure they are going to be able to come up on pay enough

I am an RN working to start nursing support groups at the hospital where I work. Do any of you have support groups for nurses at your hospital and would you go if it was offered? We are hoping to give nurses a place to talk and destress. Any ideas would be great! Thanks!
