Did you see how some loser thought that the pay rates for temp nurses was $23, lol! Who on earth would work agency for that pittance? (was in the comments)

Interesting.............

I have been testing the waters at agencies to see if I could get an extra day per diem at more than my overtime rate at my regular job. So far no, the best rate I have found is 46 an hour.

I'm glad they were busted. I'd think AZ's right to work state status would be enough advantage for AZ hospitals. If AZ hospitals are looking to save $$$ they should eliminate that 2% by severing registry ties with the AZ Hospital Association.
