Considerations in Negotiating Your Salary
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
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. The idea of negotiating your salary can sound intimidating, but it does not need to be. You may be surprised to find that you already have strong negotiation skills as evidenced by your work in the care delivery setting. 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.
- Describe three ways that you can prepare for negotiating a salary.
- Discuss best practices in managing the negotiation process
