Why do recruiters ask for salary before sharing their range? I gave a number aligned with my last role and now worry I anchored too high. The position fits my experience closely. How do you answer without boxing yourself in?

You can ask what their budgeted for. You can be clear that you're interested in the position and also do some research to find out what the industry standard for that kind of work is. I typically say something like, "Similar jobs in the region pay "X" amount, so I'd like to come in on the higher end of that given my experience." I once was able to start at the highest level of pay for a position I had never done before, just because I was able to illustrate I had every skill set they were seeking and more.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

So I started a new job a few months ago at an agency. Though my work performance is good I have been extremely stressed and anxious nonstop since day one. The work pace and load is significant. Even my spouse can tell a difference in me. The pay is good, but at what point is your mental health worth more than a paycheck? Is this new job blues or is this a sign of toxicity? Should I stay or should I go?
