I have worked at the same hospital (excuse me, Medical Center) for nearly 15 years. I have been an RN for nearly 26 years. The Medical Center where I am employed charges us to park. As much as 500 dollars per year, depending on the area you are assigned/request to park in. Does anyone else out there have to pay to park to go to work? I mean the hospital built the parking deck(s) due to a lack of space in the area and they do provide a "free" parking area, but it requires a 5 min. walk to get from the free area to the hospital or a ride on a provided shuttle bus, if you work the "right" hours. But really, do you think you should have to pay to park where you work? I don't agree with it, but then, I'm not about to walk a half mile to the "free" lot when I get off work at 11pm.
