For recent nursing school graduates, finding your first job can be an exciting adventure. For geriatric nurses, the demand for your services is high. You may already have had several job offers while you were in school.

However, it is important to get educated on what kind of jobs are out there and how much they are paying to ensure that your first position is a great one. If you accept the first job you're offered, you may be missing out on a better opportunity. The job you take first will play a large role in determining the rest of your path as a geriatric nurse, so you want to make it a good position that allows you room to learn and grow in your industry.

While recent grads are not usually the highest paid in the field, you can still demand pay that is commensurate with your abilities. If you graduated at the top of your class, won awards, or worked in facilities while in school, this will add to your skill set and possibly to your pay scale as well. Further, the demand is still very high for geriatric nurses in the market, regardless of experience.

As a matter of fact, many facilities like hiring recent graduates because they can train them in the ways of their business.
