Hello everyone, This is my first time posting but I come on this site often for advice. My question is regarding a job I was offered. When the position was offered to me, I was told that the starting pay for new graduates is $24/hr and that they offer shift differentials for night and weekend shift. Then when I went to turn in my paperwork, I was told that the pay is actually a base of $10/hr and that a stipend will be added to each check to make the total pay equal approximately $24/hr. If I do not stay with the hospital for 2 years, I have to pay back the total stipend amount I had been paid. I am a new graduate so I don't know if this is common practice or if it is bad practice. I know that many of my friends that got jobs at other hospitals did not have to sign a contract and receive just a regular hourly rate. I'm not sure what to think of the situation. Can anyone give me some advice about this? I would greatly appreciate any info from anyone, especially if they have this type of contract.
