Well, I lucked out! I had called the day time supervisor yesterday and told him I was willing to work last night. He didn't take me up on my offer and didn't tell the night supervisor I was available. I got a phone call around eight last night asking me to come in and work schedule plus (between time and a half and double time) and was offered a $100.00 bonus for coming in. They needed someone to come in and no one was willing. The Director of Nursing gave the okay and I was a lucky girl!! I was so very happy to offer my services and provide quality nursing care. If they keep it up, they (French Hospital) might retain some of their staff. Offering bonuses like that will give us incentive to work extra and keep us happy. Not only that, they are paying a ton of money for all these travellers, it's the least they can do. Well, I was very happy to be the recipient of the little bonus. Keep it coming!
