Well, as an entry-level nurse, I expect to have the basic salary that is aligned to the role & provides an opportunity for growth.

Alexandra's Feedback
I recommend researching average salaries that are in line with an entry level nurse position, and then you could provide a range to the interviewer.

Salary is negotiable. My salary I am making now is 20.00 hr. I would like to stay around that salary.

Lauren's Feedback
In case the role's salary range is higher than you are making now, I would refrain from listing your current salary. I helped reword your response so to convey openness.
I believe Davita has competitive salary ranges for its employees. I am open to the salary range for this role, as you will consider my experience and skillset. I am confident a negotiated, desirable rate will be achieved.

Questions about compensation are always a little tricky, especially if a salary range wasn't posted in the job description. Rather than directly answer the question, I always suggest flipping the question back on the interviewer. For example, "Do you have a salary range in mind for this role?" or "Are you able to share a salary range?" If the interviewer isn't able to answer, then I suggest giving a range rather than an exact number. For example, "My target salary is 38-45 an hour. Are you able to share if this role falls within that range?"

Marcie's Feedback
Consider giving a salary range instead so you don't pigeonhole yourself. You can also flip the question around on the interviewer and ask them what salary range they are looking to pay. Additionally, don't forget to remind the interviewer of the skills and experience you bring to the table.
