What's inside
Tools you use every week, not just once.
Each section produces a concrete output — a number, a score, or a script — so you leave with a decision, not just more information.
True Hourly Rate Worksheet
Calculate what a shift actually pays after taxes, commute, meals, childcare, and recovery time. The posted rate is not your real rate.
Shift Profit Test
Score every opportunity on money, recovery, certainty, career leverage, and life fit before you commit. Takes under 2 minutes.
Offer Comparison Matrix
Compare OT, per diem, internal float, crisis shifts, and local travel side by side on one page so the right choice is obvious.
Negotiation Scripts
Data-based scripts for night, weekend, charge, preceptor, and crisis-rate conversations. Know exactly what to say and when.
Why this works
Nurses don't need more hustle advice. They need better math.
A $55/hr shift sounds great. But after taxes, the commute, a $40 parking fee, and skipping your sleep window, the real number might be $28. This playbook gives you the framework to run that math before you say yes.
Generic Google advice
Explains what overtime, per diem, and travel are.
