I have 3 years of LPN experience and just got my RN license. What should I expect for starting pay? I’m trying to figure out if I have any leverage to negotiate higher than the standard new grad residency rate.

It depends on if there is a union contract, too.

You’ll be able to start a bit higher, but where you are looking to work will make the bigger difference. Large hospital vs. small clinic, for example, specialty, union, or non. The experience will put you in a good place to negotiate.

Expect offers anywhere from straight new grad rate to maybe one step above it. Your leverage depends a lot on location, specialty, and staffing needs. Union hospitals tend to be very rigid. Non-union hospitals sometimes have more flexibility if they are short-staffed.

What state are you in? Maybe others in your state can chime in

Hey folks, I'm getting an offer as a SC in EY UK. Presently I'm a manager with EY India (up for SM next yr Oct 2021). Comp is 55k range (haven't officially received the figure, a few more days it's expected, doing some homework before that).

I'll be moving with family. Wife may not immediately start working (,find a new job, we have a toddler daughter as well 2 YO).

I personally don't find this offer commercially attractive. Can someone offer some counter arguments?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
