According to the US Dept. of Labor, Nurses, as professionals do not have to be paid time and a half. It was my understanding, unless there are state regulations that over-ride this law (like California's), that it is at the companies "discression" to pay time and a half under certain guidelines. Here is the Labor Board's site to the link:

This pertains to those professionals who are salaried.
