   Typically when there are two numbers for night shifts diffs it's in reference to 3-11 and 11-7. 7a-3p is base, 3p-11p is the first diff, 11p-7a is the second diff. I also heard their weekend diff is...

   Elbajista replied to remf3's topic in Emergency

   I always go for 18g. It only took once for me to regret not having put in a larger bore IV when a pt went sour. The same goes for PITA patients/people who come in for ridiculous PCP complaints. Make a...

7. New Grad pay in Jax area

   Elbajista replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida Nursing

   I tried that but was quickly shut down. I was told that pay would be discussed only after and if a job offer had been extended. Basically, they want to rope you in by making you go through the tedious...

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have to agree. A commitment contract without any sort of sign-on bonus is unfair. People are desperate for work, and this kind of thing is definitely meant to take advantage of that. I'd hate to...

13. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow, that $3000 thing is crazy. I've never heard of any hospital having that kind of setup. I could see if it was a cash bonus that had to be repaid, but not just straight from the nurse's pocket....

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    hmm....That UNF thing sounds interesting. As for that contract, I'm okay with the prospect of a $3000 payback if they GIVE $3000 as a sign-on bonus. Otherwise, that's
