I was hired as a new grad in the float pool, and float mainly in Tele, ICU and MedSurg at a Cincinnati area hospital. We get the same pay as other staff nurses, which I didn't see as a big deal when I first started (my first job and being naive)...but after 6 months I've changed my tune. Yes I get alot of great experience, and don't get involved in the unit "clicks", but feel we get dumped on by the regular nurses. We need some incentive pay for getting "jerked around" and putting up with all that we do.
