I'm working at CVS, trying to learn as much as drug names as possible. I find it very helpful! How about all of u?

I'm finishing up prereqs this semester and leaving my retail position to work at the hospital permanently. I guess it doesn't hurt that the hospital pays me $6-$13 more AN HOUR, depending on the day. haha. Besides, .../QUOTE]
How does that work?
At the hospital, anytime I am called and asked to work, that is not on my normal schedule, I get paid an additional $6.35/hour.This is called supplemental pay, because they compensate you for coming in when you were not normally scheduled. I make next to nothing at the retail pharmacy. My Base rate at the hospital is about $6/hr more than my base at retail. Here's an example. The hospital just called me 30 min ago and asked if I could work today 3-11. I said sure, so I'll get my base ($15/hr) plus supplemental ($6.35/hr) = $21.35/hr today. Hospitals have tons of incentives like that. They pay time and a half for working double shifts, holidays, etc. I hope I didn't make that more confusing for you.I'm finishing up prereqs this semester and leaving my retail position to work at the hospital permanently.

i see, not confusing at all. more reason not to work retail other than for experience.
