Throw away account for obvious reasons
Wellspan is changing its PRN nurse pay rates and is trying to bullshit its staff that they will make as much, when it's actually a rather significant drop in pay.
Before the change, the pay rate was 44/hr for the first 24 hours/6 weeks then that + incentive ($15-25/hr lately).
The new pay rates have 3 categories, and PRN is not eligeable for incentive pay:
1: 40/hr with 24 hours required per 6 weeks (loss of $96 if I work just those 24)
2: 44/hr with 36 hours required per 6 weeks, 12 of which must be on a weekend (no weekend diff) (even using the lowest incentive that's a loss of $180)
3: 48/hr with 48 hours required per 6 weeks, 24 of which must be on a weekend (loss of $168)
I wouldn't care, except for the bullshit in the memo that claims we are getting incentive paid by keeping our pay rate or going up by 4/hr (at a loss of 15+/hr in exchange).
And all this at a time where the hospital is half travelers and they had to close a floor due to staffing.
I'm walking, most other PRN staff I know is walking as well, hope it costs them another unit.
