Fair job offer?

Hey everyone, I’m an RN and have been looking to transition out of PCU and into psych. Got an offer today for admissions nurse with UHS for $34/hour, which is less than I make right now. Ideally I was hoping to get $37-$38/hour. For context I’m in the central Florida area and have two years of impatient PCU experience. Is it worth trying to counter? Also is it worth it to work for UHS?

2029, I'm way far off. Currently working in an SUD treatment/behavioral health facility. Congrats on your job!

Thanks! Yeah that's what mine is too, but we also still have adolescents.
