Ok I didn't realize that hospitals don't do contracts. I had read something about it on another thread so the couple must have been travel nurses. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I had a question about contracts for jobs. My fiance and I will graduate an RN program in May and plan to work at the same hospital, crossing our fingers. I think I read on here that you can write into your contract that a couple can have the same days off? Has anyone had experience with this? We don't plan on working the same floor if that helps. We just like to be together and if we had the same days off it would be great.

State College, Pa. If you have heard of Jerry Sandusky or Penn State. They always say we live in a special bubble here as far as unemployment and the recession goes.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I did an internship in the local E.D. here. The nurses all said they recommended me for the job in May as a graduate nurse. They said they are very short staffed and really need people, and would love to have me, especially because I like the psych patients and the nurses currently working there don't want to do that part. So I am not worried about finding a job around here. The 2 previous graduating classes had an employment rate of 96% before graduation. But I will have to think about the time off. Maybe I can stack 12 hour shifts to get the week off? Other than that I never take vacations or need time off. I suppose I will have to see how things go.

Hi, I am new to Allnurses. I am graduating in May '14. I have booked a wedding venue for 12/13/14 so I will need to ask for about 3 days off for that. However, I also want to have a breast augmentation in August before we get married. I am not sure how much time you have to take off for that. I believe it is about a week. I can't afford to have the surgery before I start a new job. Is that asking for too much right off the bat? I plan to let them know before I accept a job offer but I hope it doesn't ruin the position for me. Advice?
