Have you ever noticed how salary discussions can make everyone go quiet? I was in a meeting recently, and when pay was mentioned, suddenly everyone was engrossed in their notes. It’s rather odd, isn’t it? Why do we shy away from talking about our earnings? Have you had that conversation with colleagues? How did it go? Let’s break the ice!

My work bestie and I complain about ours all the time. I'm pretty sure she's the only one I've talked to about it. I'm not really close enough to anyone else here to feel comfortable asking them how much they make.

I’ve tried to be open about salary with my peers because I think it overall helps all of us! Some may not want to engage and that’s alright but salary transparency is important in the workplace

Thankfully I haven't really experienced that. My workplace is very open about talking about compensation and I find it to be exceptionally empowering for everybody to be on the same page.

That sounds great! An open environment makes a big difference. It's empowering to know everyone is informed. It really fosters trust and fairness.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
