Frequently asked questions
How do I compare two nursing offers with different shifts?
Convert each offer to an hourly rate using its actual scheduled hours, then add differentials and typical overtime. The higher salary often loses once night shifts and extra hours are priced in.
Should overtime be included in the hourly comparison?
Estimate it separately: base hourly rate first, then overtime at its premium rate. Blending them hides whether the base pay itself is fair.
Do twelve-hour shifts change the math?
Yes, because weekly totals and overtime thresholds differ by schedule. Always use your real rostered hours per year, not a generic forty-hour assumption.
