Hi! I am an RN with 3 years management and 18 years LTC, hospital as an LPN. I am in Texas and finding it hard to break away from floor nursing. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of nurses in Texas. If you want to negotiate your pay, you can forget it. I've been offered $26/hr for mid-management. Many of our high schools are allowing associates in nursing on graduation. That means buisnesses can babe baby RN's $22-25/hour. Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

I understand your frustration. You have a lot of valuable experience that you can take anywhere you choose to. Health plans, health tech companies, pharmacy companies-you can work remote if the jobs in your area are limited/low pay. Finally, market your leadership accomplishments, not just your years of experience. Quantify things life staff retention, quality improvements, survey readiness, budget management, or patient outcomes (a BIG focus of health insurers/vendors). Employers often negotiate more readily when they see measurable results rather than tenure alone. Don't let a few disappointing offers convince you that's your market value. Sometimes it's not your experience - it's that you're applying in the wrong segment of healthcare. Best of luck to you!
