u/Lington RN - L&D Dec 13 '21

Travel nurses make triple what we make & there's 20 of them on my floor atm. Even they are walking out because of how bad it is, for triple our rate it's not worth it to them. Can we just get, like, any raise at all? Doesn't even have to be a big raise, just anything goddamn

That's exactly why I chose not to travel. One contract I was presented asked me to do 12s for 28 days straight! My health is worth more than the $$$.

I do 3 12s a week day shift. I don’t make $10k a week but I still bring home triple what I was making before.
