In your search for nursing employment, what priority do you give the following:

1. Base pay

2. Differentials (Evening, Nights, Weekend, Charge)

3. Medical/Dental Benefits

4. Employer sponsored Retirement Plan (with or without match)

5. Vacation/Holiday/Sick Leave

6. Money for Continual Education

7. Disability Benefits

8. Meal or uniform allowances

9. Sign-on bonus

10. Relocation assistance

11. Mortgage/Rental Assistance Programs

12. On-site daycare

13. Clinical Ladder Programs or opportunities for advancement

14. Flexible scheduling

I get no benefits at my job, anyway. Would I take a $5. an hour paycut for ideal working conditions? In a word- YES.
