Should I ask for a raise?

or to re-negotiate my wage? I work in a SNF and just found out they hired an LPN,( I am an RN half way done with my BSN) at the same wage I make. Not sure how to feel about that, but this LPN quit without notice after a few weeks, we are stuck without cover for shifts and vacations.

I was thinking of approaching my DON after the first of they year with a wage increase request but have no idea how to go about it. I have been there for over a year with no raises at all, not even cost of living. I am grateful to have a job so not sure if it's worth the effort to bring it up.

Anyone renegotiate their wage without to much hassle? Would like to hear your stories.

    Have you received a yearly performance eval? If not, speak to your DNS about that. It would be a good time to ask for a raise if you get a good eval.

    Just an FYI from a DON - as much as I hate to admit, sometimes annual evals (and the raise) just gets missed. The secretary pulls the list of who is due monthly and sometimes there is just an oversight. If you really think it is time just go ask about it. What's the worst that could happen - they say No? They're certainly not going to fire you for asking.
