Hello allnurses,I have recently been offered a FT night position and today as I was signing the paper work, the HR lady told me that I would be making a base pay of $26/hour plus my shift differential of 7.75 for weekend nights.. this seems like a lot.. is this 7.75/hour or per shift? I didn't think to ask her, I will when I am back in the office but I am just wondering if anyone had any insight.Thank you! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
