Well, I just got my first GN check, and it was $800 short. I was guaranteed PRN wages as a "scheduled" PRN, but when I recieved my check, I got the same pay as though I was getting benefits, but with no benefits. When I called my DON, she stated that I should have given my preference of "PRN" to her in writing, although we talked about it on the phone and she told me that if I ever decided to change to getting benefits if I need the insurance down the road, to just let her know. When I talked to a House Supervisor about it, I was told the DON "forgot" to turn in the paperwork, so instead of admitting she made a mistake and make it right, she pushed the blame off on me and I am out the $800. I don't know where else to go, except give her a letter stating I want PRN wages and eat the $800 loss. It seems like you can't trust anyone anymore..........not even a fellow nurse.
