Recently left the VA and was offered a position to stay in the float pool working per diem. I considered it until I was told my pay would be the same hourly as I was making -8% retention bonus I was receiving and no benefits.

Working for agency and will be on call for the first time this weekend. What are the most common questions you receive?

Interesting about the per diem pay. I work full time at a VA hospital where they just posted the creation of a float pool (per diem) and I assumed the pay would be more than a full time RN.

Speech Pathology....if I wasn't one semester away from finishing BSN I'd do that instead.

Will be finishing BSN program in December and seems like finding that first position with no experience can be daunting. Just curious if anyone has encountered age discrimination...I am 45.

I have the pink (breast cancer) edition...engraved.
