Hello from KY

I am a new nurse (ADN) as of May 2006. I currently work in the Emergency Department. I am also taking classes for my BSN. I am researching hospitals that utilize weekend options, Baylor plans, and weekend shift differentials. I am especially interested in if any hospitals have found moral problems with their regular full time nurses when, on occasion, they have to work the weekend to cover the time off accrued by the weekenders. I am also interested in what kind of weekend differentials are being used to offset weekend shortages. If anyone has any information, I will be glad to hear from you, that is, if I can figure out how to get responses. The computer world of emails and other communications is just as new to me as nursing is. As I said before, I am a new nurse. What I didn't say before is that I am over the age of fifty and teaching an old dog new tricks is not easy. Please be gentle.

Actually, I am not interested in the money. I have chosen where I work because the atmosphere is right. I could earn more money and work 1 mile from home (I drive 40 miles to work) but the people there are very unhappy and I do not wish to work in that environment. You cannot have that many unhappy people in one place unless you have bad management. My primary reason for gathering this information is to complete a project I am doing for my BSN Leadership class. I also expect to be moving in the next couple of years and want to get an idea of what is available. If I happen to be able to find a pleasant environment and good pay,well, I would not object.
