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!

(Weekends are sweet because i make $10 an hour more). I try to work as many weekends as I can but alas, so does everyone else. :)
