well I initally calculated $33/hr x 40 hr x 52 weeks and came up with around 68-69,000/year, mentioned thet figure to the owner..... thought about it some more and went back with a figure based on 32/hr/week x $30 x52 weeks in a year and came up with just under 50,000/year so I went back to the owner and told her 50-60,000 range was "comfortable for me ,,,,, I only made 38,000 in 2007 and we did alright so this would be an improvement. I should hear tonight what my new title is and the salary the board of directors approved
well I have been offered Director of Nursing Private Duty side, await the salary offer.I looked up the title on "PayScale Salary Reports" website and find a range from $57,716 through $88,040I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will get my offer today (as promiced)wish me luck
Wow ! Sounds great ! Let us know what happens....!
I am starting to feel like this is messed up. I never heard from the company as told I would on wed. now I am here in the office, reported as asked at 12pm. The owner (who is the one to make the formal job offer) isn't here, nor is the nurse who has been training. noone has told me anything, when I asked one person he said the owner has been "sick" this week but I heard from the guy training me that she was in court for another situation all week and has started another company for her private duty cases. I got a gut feeling this is a mess and don't know what to do. I have many restrictions on my licence and ability to practice so I am between a "rock and a hard place" I don't feel like I can be picky or demanding, but I also feel I have a right to know what the heck is going on.
