Dear Nurse Beth Advice Column - The following letter submitted anonymously in search for answers. Join the conversation!
Extensive travel times like yours should be clarified to ensure fair compensation.
Generally, commuting to and from your primary work location (if you have one) and home is generally not paid, whether you're salaried or hourly. This is because commuting is typically considered personal time, not work time.
To clarify:
You must check with your employer and review your contract/job offer to understand how they manage travel time and whether it's included in your 8-hour shift.
Best wishes,
Nurse Beth

For a corporate nurse who has 8 facilities to visit, is the drive time included in the 8 hour shift since some facilities are 2 hours away
