Provide Mayo Clinic with a target range you would like your salary to fall within, given your experience and the position you are applying for. By providing a range, you are demonstrating flexibility while also voicing what you feel your contributions are worth. The Mayo Clinic website mentions medical, dental, and vision care insurance. Flexible spending accounts, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, and a generous time away program that helps you enjoy a healthy work-life balance are also mentioned.
If these or other benefits, like employee discounts, retirement saving options, or tuition reimbursement, are important to you, also share that you would consider those when considering a compensation package. You can also mention that the total benefits package would impact your desired salary, and you'd like to learn more.

"As a new graduate, I'm open to negotiating, but ideally, I would like to earn between X-X/hr plus shift differentials for the evening shifts. Base salary is important to me, but the total rewards package, including medical insurance, and tuition reimbursement, are of equal interest and importance when considering an offer."

"Because I have fifteen years of experience as an RN and several advanced certifications like PALS and PEARS, my target salary range is 65,000-70,000 per year. I may have some flexibility depending on the total benefits package and would be open to discussing it further."
