    I do not subscribe to any of my hospital's insurance plans -- do NOT get any reimbursements/kickbacks for this. No perks for taking no insurance.

    I had "double insurance" for several years--never had a co-pay for medical care and even had three dental crowns and a 4-tooth bridge fully paid!! I"m not sure it was truly cost-effective, but it sure was convenient LOL. Now with one plan I"m paying all that stuff (half a crown was $350 just last month)

    I work what is called POP ( premium occasional pay) I work 32 hours a week and get $5 more an hour. but that means no vacation or sick time either. I am also required to work 2 holidays a year and 4 weekends, so far I have worked one holiday and no weekends. I work in the OR. but I am the only POP nurse they have. I could work part-time or full-time and not take the insurance (my husband carries the insurance) with no compensation for not taking the hospitals terrible insurance. so I just work my hours and save the difference for my vacations and sick time......one perk is I can not be made to do OT.
