Nursing a Pay Grudge

Civilian nurses working at Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton in California are not happy, the North County Times reports. They say their counterparts at nearby Naval Medical Center San Diego make as much as $17,000 more per year for the same work. A spokesman says the reason for the differential is that the Camp Pendleton facility has "not had a problem with retention or recruiting nurses." One nurse, Melissa Cappuccilli, has filed a complaint with the Office of Special Counsel alleging wage discrimination.
