Salary Question

Featured Replies

Aides or nurses?

Aides don't earn as much as nurses.

New graduate nurses probably do earn more as a starting salary than nurses who were hired years before due to inflation and competition among companies in recruiting nurses.

Have they been with the hospital longer than you?

At the hospital where I work It is possible for a new grad to make more money than a nurse who has been there for years. If a new grad does not accept benefits they start out at the top out pay with no annual payraises. If a nurse who has been working for years has benefits their pay is less but they qualify for annual payraises until they top out.

Unfortunately, loyality is not rewarded in nursing. You can either ask for a raise, citing the reasons why an experienced nurse should make more money than a new grad, or you can find work elsewhere.

It's really important to get all the facts before jumping to any conclusion. I strongly suggest sitting down with the manager to discuss the compensation (pleasantly) before assuming the worst based on partial information.

For example, some of those new grads may have signed a contract committing themselves to certain shifts or other conditions of employment that have earned them some premium pay. Some of those new grads may be receiving fewer benefits and getting increased cash. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Find out what the possible "deals" are and then choose the one that is best for you. Keep in mind that it might not be the same deal as what is best for someone else.
