thanks for the reply! I'm looking for a hospital that is exactly 3 12's per week though. I don't want to work a thirteenth shift per month. at stony brook we work 6 12's and an 8 hour shift in a two week period so its extra days. I'm looking to work less and make more lol. that is amazing to hear about your experience. I'm so glad everything went so well for you!!! Stony Brook hospital is amazing and I would gladly stay if I were compensated better. let me know if anyone has any ideas!
