Wanger2525 when did you get it? I haven't gotten mine yet:down:

[wanger2525]

I got it today. I would call the office. That's what I had to do

[RN2BSOONN]

By call the office do you mean the recruiter? Capria? Thanks!

Just curious when do we sign our contract?

[Mariebee]

If you have nursing experience already are you started of at $24.00/hr? If you finish the residency and they only have nights available do you have to take nights? How does the contracts work? I have an interview Tuesday and I would rather not waste their or my time

[Mariebee]

I am really wondering how the contracts work. Do you have to take a night shift if that's all that is available? Is the pay the same for everyone even if you have experience?

[TWU80]

Residents start at 24.52 an hour. Contract starts at end of the residency for 3 years. No guarantees on shift you get. SICU goes with 3 months nights, 3 months days. The ED has no guarantee on shift.

[Mariebee]

Do you sign the contract prior to starting the residency or after completion?

[TWU80]

Signed within 2-3 weeks of start date- drop dead date is approximately 2 months into residency-no money owed if place not right for you (lost 3 in ED so far)- after grace period, you now owe them 3 years-don't know if they will ever collect but you won't necessarily get a recommendation from them and could put on credit report -don't know about SICU but in ED, you have to pass all 4 phases-if not, you don't stay in that unit-you have to have the ability to be there-each unit is different and each unit not for everybody

[Mariebee]

Wow! Thanks for the info. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. I have an interview Tuesday but....
