A new nurse graduate is discussing his future with a nursing instructor
The instructor asks the nurse the following questions: What schedule are you interested in working? What organization is near your home? The nurse informs the instructor he is interested in salary options only. Which response by the instructor would be appropriate? 1. ?Well, pay is important.?
2. ?I would focus on those organizations that pay premium wages for nurses.?
3. ?A small difference in salary is less important than working in an organization where you can obtain your
future goals.?
4. ?Money is not important, the job is important.?
3
Explanation: 1. The least important criteria for selecting the first job is the salary. A small amount more in
hourly pay is worth much less than opportunities to help meet future goals.
