Thanks for all the replies. I do plan on making an appointment to meet with my manager. I'm also putting my resume out there. Already have a couple of hits. I realize that I'm not married to this job and it's ok to split. I'm doing the research now and hope to meet with her soon. Will let you know how it goes. Also thanks for the ideas on how to approach my manager.

I work in a CVICU, I serve as charge nurse and a unit preceptor without any compensation. Our unit is gravely short of staff. And because of all the overtime a lot of the present staff is leaving. Our manager is hiring nurses at pay rates that I cant believe. While they are making big bucks, they leave after orietation because of the work and staffing issues. I'm still here, working my butt off, training nurses that aren't staying on the unit. And hardly getting paid anything. But because I have allowed this to go on for so long, how do I ask for a pay increase? Am I crazy for staying? Any suggestions?
