Webinar Overview
Are you prepared to negotiate your salary? Gain a deeper understanding for what is involved, how to prepare, and how to manage the salary negotiation process can help. When considering the right job for you, salary is an important factor. Nurses often don’t realize that negotiating a salary is an option.

By leveraging these skills and doing your homework, you can be well equipped to navigate the process of salary negotiations.
During this webinar you will have a chance to hear from nurse experts who will help you understand the ins and outs of salaries, what influences salaries, what to look for in considering a salary offer, and how to prepare for and manage the salary negotiation process. The webinar will include Q&A so you can get all your questions about salary answered.
After participating in this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Discuss the factors that influence a salary offer.
- Describe non-salary benefits to consider in assessing a salary package.
