Ok stupid I know but in my excitement in being hired to ED as a new grad, I never really got a true knowledge as to whether or not the 12 weeks of training is paid or not. I think it is however now too embarrassed to ask. Anyone who has gone thru ed training was it paid time? Thanks to all!

I haven't done ED training, but have trained on two different units in two different hospitals.... both times it was paid training. I am sure it will be for you! That's why hospitals don't like to see "new" people go... because of all the money/time they invested in training them! Good luck and congrats!

Yes, it's paid. When I went into the OR I actually had to sign a contract stating that I would complete 2 full years of employment in the OR following completion of my training or I would have to re-pay the hospital for what I was paid for my training. I think more hospitals are doing this because they train people only to have them run off to another hospital.

I don't have a required work commitment and my offer letter was very, very clear about there being no contract between me and the employer and that my continued employment was at their whim. A few of my friend are working places that sign a contract to stay for a certain amount of time though. I'm surprised the OP didn't have any sort of letter laying out the pay rate and details of employment.

I am waiting for my offer letter which I am sure will outline in detail I was just curious, thanks! I do know I have a 3 year contract with a sign on bonus and the rates for my shift were discussed as well just wasnt sure if during my "training" would be paid but I am sure once I receive my letter I will find out. Thanks to all for your answers.
