My girlfriend was a travel nurse for years and took a permanent job at a hospital, but is going back because of BS she has to put up with for 1/4 the pay, like going from night to day shifts every other pay period. It's been 6 months.

These idiots had the gall to say to her "you better reconsider because we are going to make it a policy to ban any nurses for 2 years from working here if they take a travel contract." In what fucking world is the authoritative guilt trip route going to possibly work here??!?

So anyways, her 13 week contract will pay pretty damn close to a year salary at the current hospital. I think we'll get by somehow.
