   Hey all, I spoke with HR and we do have a 2 week policy for non-exempt employees! I was very sure to ask about nurses specifically. Exempt employees give 3 weeks. Nurse managers/supervisors give 4 weeks. I don't believe HR will go and tell my manager...

   SweetBabyJames replied to SweetBabyJames's topic in General Nursing

    SweetBabyJames posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all, This is a bit of a strange question. I signed on for a 5K bonus at a hospital in PA, committing to a year. I was a NG and now have a year of experience. It was a bad experience and I wouldn't recommend a contract to any new nurse. I've almos...
