Salary Advice

I'm re-entering the nursing field after a long break. I'm going to be

contacting agencies and facilities soon.

I need advice on what to put in the expected salary range part of the application. Last time I worked, (I'm an LPN) I made in the 11-14 dollar range (that was 8 years ago.) What can I expect now?

I realize that I will make less than someone with current expirence, but don't

want to settle for much, much less!

Please help! Thanks in advance.

K.

edited to add that I am 40 miles outside of Nashville and will be seeking employment in the Nashville area. Thanks again!

I've always left that part of applications blank -- and no employer has ever objected to that. When asked directly, I always say that I am more concerned that the compensation of the job reflect the responsibility in relation to other jobs at the same institution than I am about a specific figure. Is the pay fair in light of how my position will compare with others?

Good luck,

llg

Hi LLG,

Thank you for your reply. I think I'll take your advice and just leave it blank.

I have always been told to put pay is negotiable and to never leave anything blank on an application. You can put NA for not availiable in other blanks.

Good luck

I always write in "negotiable".
