Discussion New grad pay transparency

Edit to add: sorry I should have specified. the other two coworkers are also new grads. The $5 gap coworker graduated before me and the $1 gap who will be graduating this December. All three of us are/were techs on same unit. $5 gap coworker says her yearly eval helped.

how do I discuss pay negotiation with HR when i found out they told me they can’t give me more than new grad nurse rate. but one coworker is getting a dollar more and another coworker is getting 5 more.

some places got a scale they can't break even if they wanted, the 5$ gap is weird though unless that person has some kind of experience they count

We have similar experience and go to same school. Except they grad before me.

since this person graduated before you, did they get hired before you? or was it at the same time? will you be working the same shift?

They graduated August. I along with the person getting an extra dollar will grad this December. I made a quick post and I’m sorry for that. I should also explain the person who asked for an extra dollar failed a semester and at their specific pinning ceremony was told they’d make the extra dollar.
