The first thing out of my mouth was "DAMN!!!" as well!

What sparked this kind of raise, and why am I not working there? hehe ;)

Congratulations! :)

Wow!!! That is awesome, talk about retention, I would hestitate to leave there now!!! The best I ever got was in the mid-eighties, when we were having the first (of my era) nursing shortage, we got 12% and I was happy as a clam about that, so I can imagine how great this is for you!!!

WooooooHooooooo!!!!

Gee, 25 years experience and got .70 cent/hr raise....more than others due to committee work I'm on. MAX was 3 1/2% due to skyrocketing malpratice in area wiping out ANY profit for health system.

Way to go! I just received 10% as our facility received the Governor's Gold Seal award. Bask in the fruits of your labor!!!!
