I applied for an RN job for a new outreach team with an existing community mental health agency in my city. The position looks right up my alley and experience and I love the idea of being part of a new program that is being piloted nationwide in just 10 states. When I spoke with the Director of Outpatient Services over the phone, she said I would be great for the RN Manager position for this new team. They are hiring 4 nurses and 1 RN Manager. I said that I would love to know more about that and I may have applied for the RN Manager position but it wasn't yet posted. She asked me about pay and of course this question is flustering.. I said that it is hard to say without knowing more about the position and the highest end for the RN position is $123K. Meaning, well it should be MORE than that. They just posted the RN Manager position and it is actually the exact same pay, the only difference is the manager position has a $5K sign on bonus. I would rather forgo that and have an actual higher salary. The RN Manager position is listed as hourly- $43.41 - $59.18 per hour The regular RN position is listed as yearly- $90,284 - $123,096 per year I have an interview on Friday, I will obviously negotiate around this with HR if I am offered the job.. Is this funny business or just an oversight? Shouldn't a nurse manager make more than nurses she is supervising? I am just writing here for any tips or advice! Thank you!   submitted by   /u/HappinessSuitsYou [link]   [comments]
