But it wasn't till I had ended up working in the ER/OR at the local hospital that I was paid more, and I was on salary based pay and had much better benefits. But I can surely tell you that working in a hospital is much more work and longer hours, but the good thing was that I would only work 3-4 days a week and had the rest off, but the bad thing was that I had to work 12-14 hr shifts which were no fun and at times if they have you as an on-call nurse you might get asked to work either on weekends or holidays, but its those days that you'd get an incenative for doing so.
