Salary

So I've been a nurse since 1982 (yikes!) and have been a director for the past 10 years.

What do all you directors make?

I started out years ago making 78k and have made more with every job. I'm now looking for a new job and am having a hard time with the 'how much do you want to make' question.

I was very well paid at my last job....I get that, but I don't think 100k is too much to ask.

I was making 130K at my last job. South Coast of Massachusetts...NOT Cape Cod.

    I think small facility DONs in Iowa and Minnesota are making 65-70000.

    Last DON job 3 years ago, made $85,000 in Indiana. Currently working interim DON with pay of $45/HR. (Loving the hourly pay too). You've always made significantly more in your section of the country so I would expect $100,000 to be reasonable for you.

    I was the DON at a 75 bed SNF/LTC in TN. We are not for profit. I was making $84k. I resigned on good terms and 2.5 years later have been asked to return. They have built Green Houses and when complete will have 100 residents in 9 homes. Would I be wrong to ask for 100k?
