Re: Pay @ Royal Oak Beaumont
Every place is flexible. HFH has self-scheduling. The thing I like better about HFH, is if I pick up overtime, I can self-cancel 24 hours before the shift. At Beaumont, you have to work, there's no self-cancelling. I also like that I can work 4,8,12 hours overtime if I like. My benefits at Beaumont were outrageous. I pay 43 bucks for medical, vision, dental and short term disability at HFH and the bens are good.
I remember when I started nursing school, my managers at WBH flat out told me that they could not accomodate my schedule. I wanted to work every weekend so I could go to school during the week. So no, in the five years I worked there, I don't recall them being flexible. With that being said, my friends that currently work at WBH are all trying to find different jobs at different hospitals. The unit I worked on for five years has a crazy staff turn over because after a year of the b.s. everyone wants to leave and does. Most of the senior staff either quit or went to different units.
To each his own. I think it just depends on where you work within the hospital. It's better in the ICUs, the stepdowns and the regular units at WBH is a different story.
