So a little dilemma. I left my previous ICU job when I got my full time flight job, the hope was to stay on PRN but there were no current positions open. So now my previous job called back asking if I wanted a PRN position. I originally said sure until I got my official offer and noticed it was the same pay rate as when I left. When I questioned this I was told they no longer offer a PRN premium, which used to be pretty good. I told them that given my experience, certifications, etc as well as what other hospitals were offering that I wanted a higher pay, and gave them a number. They came back with a pay rate much lower than I wanted, about a dollar more than I was making. I told them I would think about it and let them know tomorrow. To put it into perspective I could easily make $3-5 more and hour elsewhere and many places are offering sign on bonuses for experienced RNs. I enjoyed where I worked and do not want to make it totally about the money however when I could pick up at my current job or another hospital and make substantially more it is tough. Especially since I feel like my specific experience is very desirable. So either I settle and just take the job, decline the offer, or counter and give them a bottom line and see what they say (which it sounds like the offer was the best they could do). I don't want to burn bridges tho.
