Question for Henry Ford employees...

My girlfriend did full time at HFH and contingent at St. John's....Don't see why not.

I am doin' it also. I work full time at HFHS, and contingent at SJH. It doable and I get paid every week due to both hospitals getting paid on the opposite week of each other. Is Cottage Hospital part of Henry Ford? If it is, it may be considered overtime on your check, its like a primary and secondary thing on your check. I did at SJ before I left to work full time at HF.

At SJH, flex choice has many options to choose from. I am an option 2 in which I make $32.50. But the staffing there is getting ridiculous. I work on a unit which is fast paced so its not that bad, but seeing that you are an ICU nurse you probably will be fine in those units. But choosing Cottage Hospital might be a better choice due to the fact that SJH is going through some financial turmoils causing alot of nurses to leave.

I would imagine that any extra work time you pick up at another Henry Ford facility will be considered over and beyond the work required for your full time job and will thus, be rated as overtime. When I worked in the ER downtown, some of the nurses liked to pick up shifts at a satellite ER over at Henry Ford Fairlane in Dearborn. They were being paid over time but I remember that it had to be approved by the manager at the Fairlane site. I'd ask the manager at Cottage because she will be the one hiring you and determining how much you'll get paid.

hey, i don't know how it works for the rest of the unit nurses but they're always stealing our ER staff to work there coz their shorthanded, so we have lots of people that do contingent there and full time at main campus. hope that helps
