I am interested in gathering information on Registered Nurses only (my profession) regarding how much vacation, holiday, and sick time you accrue annually. In my previous jobs in NYC, I got
Vacation - 20 days/year
Holiday - 9 days/year
Personal Day - 3 days/year
Sick Day - 12 days/year
Currently, I am employed in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg) and now I get
PAL - Paid Annual Leave - 23 days - to be used for vacation, holidays AND for the first 2 days of sickness
Sick time is accrued, however you can't use it for a 1-2 day illness until you have 5yrs time accured in the sick bank.
So basically, I went from 20+12=32 days off a year, plus sick time if needed (and I was never sick, nor did I just use them as mental health days)
To my leave breakdown of 18 vacation day+ 6 recognized holidays=my 23 total leave days...and if I'm sick, I have to use a vacation day.
So, I'm interested in who gets what where.
Remember, I'm interested in
Registered Nurses working Full Time only
If you could put the city & state in which you work, no company names please. And, include
# vacation days
# holidays
# personal days
note if all those are combined as some kind of "leave" as described above
# of sick days.
I want to compile the results and see what's really going on around the country.
I sure do miss NYC......
Thanks.
