Well I am new at this, and everyone I have spoken to about interviews have told me not to mention salary because it sounds bad. All previous employers have initiated the conversation before calling me for an orientation, so I was a bit confused. This employer also told me they would call me to offer me the job after the interview, and was hoping to bring it up at that time except they just called and gave me an orientation time. I was going to go to the orientation to figure it out, but I didn't want it to mean that I would be taking the job. Next time I guess I will make sure to ask these questions before hand. Either way I chose the hospice position because it fit my schedule. I wish I would have known more about the other position before having to make the decision. I partially think its my fault for not asking question, but also believe employers should address these topics aswell. from your experience do you think its okay to ask about salary during the first interview?

Hi, I recently obtained my license as an RN and have had no luck getting into a hospital here in the bay area. I recently got an offer to become a hospice nurse and another at a SNF. The problem I am having is that the SNF called me to go in for an orientation tomorrow, but has not told be what the hours or pay are like. I know all the information regarding the hospice job and wanted to know more about the SNF position before making a decision. does going to the orientation mean I have accepted the job??
