How much pay do I ask for? Interviewing for a full time perioperative nurse position. 8 years of experience in med surg tele.
Whatever the base salary is plus your eight years of experience which will vary from state to state and facility to facility. Because very few skills learned in nursing school actually transfer to the OR, You basically have to start from scratch. Experience in other areas of nursing doesn’t usually translate to value in the OR sorry to say. I have enjoyed my time in surgery. As an OR nurse for 16 years, I would say that if you go that route, two books to have: AST manual and Alexander’s care of the patient in surgery.
Yes 10 years experience as a staff nurse in government hospital specially medical surgical full time 8 hours day & evening shift night time 12 hours no hugs demands for pay but my experience first choice for you
The agency should have a salary scale available for viewing prior to the interview. You have applicable experience with your telemetry background and years of patient care experience, so not a “beginner”. Of course, perioperative positions may be day shift, no weekends, so if that is the case here, realize that pay may not be premium, no diff, etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for the range, if you can’t find it posted anywhere.
