Salary Negotiations for a New GradRating: (votes: 3) Its been my experience (it could be different somewhere else) that there isn't much "room for negotiations" Most facilities have a set rate based on time of experience. For example (hypathetical figures) New grad = $20.00/hr, 1 year experience $21.00, and so on. Also a lot of places do not account for prior experience as a different title. For example your 2 years of CNA experience won't get you extra pay as new grad RN vs the other new grad with no CNA experience. Or even 2 years of LPN experience won't get you extra pay when you become a new grad RN. Comment: I completely agree with the PP - hospitals have very rigid compensation structures. This is an absolute must in order to maintain equitability in the face of such a diverse workforce. There will not be any room for negotiation, and a new grad who attempts to do so will probably incur some very negative perceptions. New grads have a finite skill set and are essentially interchangeable, from the employer's perspective... don't risk your job with this futile effort. Instead, find out whether there are opportunities to increase your income and take advantage of them as they are available; things like additional certifications, cross-training, picking up extra shifts, etc.
