I had a job interview today for a case mgmt job in a P.A.C.E. program (PACE - Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly). I will need to get T.I.L.E. certified to do it (TILE = Texas Index of Level of Effort)
The DON seemed really nice, but.....
Salary job, no pay for overtime. Salary is only $720. a week.
that would work out to $18./hr for 40 hrs, but what salary nurse works only 40 hrs?
Must take call one week out of the month, and NURSES ARE NOT PAID AT ALL FOR CALL.
I have been wanting to stop traveling and stay home for awhile, but this is rediculous!
They called and offered me the job today. I told them I had reservations due to the low salary. they upped their offer by $102./mo.
But, I just can't get past spending 1/4 of my life on call for free.
I am going to turn it down. I hope it's not a mistake, but when I think about working for free, it just makes me feel defeated.

I am stuck in the area of TX where I live because of dh's job.
I interviewed today at an endoscopy clinic. It pays hourly, no call. I really want it. The interviewer had a huge pile of apps. I have no endoscopy experience and don't have ACLS, which they wanted.
I am going to write a cover letter to the person who interviewed me and include a great letter of reference that I have.
I checked on salary.com, and it says RNs make $54,000 a year here. I know that that is totally inaccurate.
