  1. When does weekend shift diff start/end for night shift

    melissasrn replied to nicuRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    Weekend and holiday pay? Be glad you don't work at MY hospital!! We get a 10% diff for 3-11 shift and 15% for 11-7. Weekends and holidays are considered no different than any other day. Lovely,...

    melissasrn replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Schedules

    melissasrn replied to emmybear2005's topic in General Nursing

    So you are only scheduled one week at a time? That doesn't seem right at all. We get our schedules in 4 week increments. The workweek starts on Sunday and the manager is required to post them...

  7. Mandatory 12 hour shifts

    melissasrn replied to melissasrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure as I'm just now starting to research the legality of it all. I've already turned in my letter of resignation but I want to know if what my hospital is doing is legal. Thanks so much for...
