  5. Have you seen Zyprexa, Risperdal, Remeron...make a difference?

    aprilr replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  6. Compensation for being on call

    aprilr replied to BennyRsMom's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital also pays us $2 an hour to be on call. We have 30 min. to get there if we are called in. It isn't much but it is better than nothing! If we do get called in we get our regular pay, not...

  11. should i just quit?

    aprilr replied to iheartnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Our facility considers anything over 8 hours a day overtime. But if you work 8 hours then have 8 off and come back, it wouldn't be overtime. Also anything over 80 hours in the two week pay period is...
