i know the hourly rate of contingent nurses are lot higher than the full time nurses. so are contingent nurses being paid straight contingent hourly rate or are they being paid one and a half rate for holidays?

Most contingent where I worked was straight pay however different facillities will have different policies, the employee handbook should answer your question however.

If contingent is the same as registry,then at my hospital we do get holiday pay. That is, time and a half just like everybody else. That's why we have so few holiday requirements because the hospital doesn't like paying us the big bucks for holidays.
