  12. Do Per Diem Nurses have any rights in NYC?

    I have been working for six months as a per diem nurse. I was told that this particular floor was my priority and I should consider that before floating to other floors. I had no problem with that until the NM went back on her word and simply told me...
  13. I was there too, some of the neighborhoods were not the safest and the company refused to provide a security escort, I worked past my work hours and always had paperwork that I had to finish at home. On my last day I had no choice but to sleep at the...
