Agency Question re: Pay
OK, Here is my question...
Initial conversation with agency recruiter for a 13 week contract...
Pay $25-$30/h plus $1500 housing stipend......because hospital is >50 miles
from my home
second conversation with recruiter:
Salaried $10/h taxable plus $21/h NON TAXABLE (which is the housing stipend),
so $31/h.......
I did the math, that figures to $21/h plus $10/h for housing (in cash rather
than actually giving me housing)....
I refused to do 8 hour night shifts, I'd prefer 12 h nights so full time is only 12 shifts a month..........
Am I missing anything?
I've never worked agency/travel before.
Thank you for your input.

Re: Average hourly pay for per diem agency RN?
this may be a bit off the subject but we as nurses need to wake up and smell the coffee,this is 2007 not the age of Florence Nightingale. You are no less professional than the corporate world who talk about the millions they make every week on wallstreet. WE should get credit alone for chosin and stickin with this profession with all the grusome things we have to encounter everyday and still find satisfaction from it.SO TALK ABOUT THE PAY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, WE DESERVE TO. We do one of the most dirtiest jobs and only do it because of our character to love the patient and help make people well. WE are noble People and we deserve to feel good and appreciated, not only by the fulfillment of making our patients feel better but we deserve a reward for our efforts, dont ever forget NOt JUST anyone can do what we do. If i couild Lobby for Nurses to get a 5$ increase I would. By the way postal worker here who work in the office get paid 25/hr with no degree required..I'm hatin
