The following is an email I got from my recruiter in regards to a contract position in Oahu, HI. The numbers aren't looking too attractive to me. Orientation pay at $14 hour?! What?! Am I missing something here? I have never had to take a pay cut for orientation days. :uhoh21: Is that just me?!
I have submitted your resume and credentials for a Med/Surg 3-month contract assignment at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu! If they are interested in speaking with you, I will let you know in the next couple days. If you are eventually accepted, your assignment will start on May 29th.
The general details of your compensation package will be: Rate of pay: $28/hr day shift; $31/hr nights. Orientation for 2-days paid at $14/hr. Housing and per diem expense reimbursement at $10.00/hr. Travel expense reimbursement: $750 upon arrival and $750 upon completion.
The housing and expense is paid if you find your own housing. It equates to $360 per week, for example, if you work 36 hours (more if you work more hours). Most people find that more than adequate. If the company finds housing for you, the the hourly amount ($10) would be less.
Share your thoughts please. This would be my second travel assignment. Thanks guys! I appreciate any and all input. Take cares.
