While I am not technically called PRN, that's basically what I am. I get no benefits. No healthcare, no PTO, no sick or vacation, and I could get 401k but I am not signed up. I'm part time and work for $27 an hour. Last year I worked every holiday and they refused to pay me time and a half. So weekends I make $27/hr. Christmas Day paid $27/hr. I'm not happy at all with this. But my current personal situation has me here for awhile longer. There was a time I made $50/hr and had 5 weeks vacation a year and paid $5/ pay period for HMO insurance. Life takes a turn sometimes. Just have to roll with it. Please don't tell me to quit. I know that's my plan as soon as I can. The ultimate compensation is *where* you live.

We ship out our babies to another unit to have the eye injections. I read that it is cheap. Only $40. Here is an excellent article that I found very informative: http://www.wellsphere.com/general-medicine-article/avastin-lucentis-update-45-avastin-drug-treatment-of-rop-better-than-laser/1369713 Even the drug company doesn't endorse it for ROP. But of course the studies are few and long term outcomes have not been evaluated.
