I just accepted a job for $14,000/yr MORE that my current salary!!!!!!!!!! I was solicited out of the blue by a Fortune 100 company who saw an old resume on Monster.com. The interview went very well and I received a phone call with the offer 3 hours later. I was in shock and had to ask her to repeat the figure because I thought I was hearing things. I have been working a second job to supplement my income for the past 2 years so I can buy a house and still spend money in the style that I have become accustomed. Don't get me wrong, I was not destitute before this offer--but this salary offer is more that my full time and parttime job salaries combined!!!!!! They actually offered me even more than I had requested!!($5000/yr more). The moral here is this--Do not be afraid to ask for a higher starting wage if you have the experience to back it up--if you market yourself well, you can make a VERY decent living as an LPN (depending on your local market of course). WE are still very important members of the nursing community especially with the shortage. :gandalf:
