<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, we do have a differential of sorts for direct patient care nurses versus public health or other nurses who do little or no direct patient care. We have what we call market factor adjustments that are supplements to our regular pay
chart. They apply to a specific job class. The job classes that are direct patient care for the most part have a 50% market factor adjustment whereas most of the non-direct patient care nursing classes have a somewhere between 25% and 35% market factor adjustment.<o:p></o:p></p>
