Pay for parking?

1 Okay, how many of you here on allnurses pay for parking? We do at my hospital, and I can't fathom charging employees...
I pay for parking. When you work on a large college campus where students and employees all want parking and land is expensive, they can and will charge for parking. If employees complain about parking, all you get is a shrug and "the university owns all the land and parking lots".

I must be really lucky. I do not pay for parking at my job but I do pay when I go to school. I'm doing an lpn to rn program at a local hospital and unfortunately due to high demand for parking spots, we have to pay or get our car towed.

Your employer does not cover your costs to get to work, that includes parking your vehicle.In densely populated areas, free parking is considered a perk.For example, in Honolulu... you will pay to park your vehicle at work ...space is at a premium.

Yep, parking is a nightmare at the area I work at. I pay a discounted monthly rate for ramp parking. Not having to brush my car off after a 12 hour shift when it snowed all day makes it soooo worth it.

Nope I don't pay for parking. But no one here does. Benefits of a small town hospital

$800 a year!

One of our local car dealers has been underwriting parking at my hospital for years. Nobody has to pay, employees or visitors.

I work in a large, downtown academic medical center, and everybody pays for parking. I pay a little over $100/month. In the medical center/university area, parking is really at a premium, and what employees pay is a big discount over the "market rate" for parking in the area (the hospital garage in which I park charges $22 for eight hours of parking for members of the general public who want to park there. My rate works out to ~$5.50/day). There is also an option to park farther away from the hospital and the hospital provides shuttle buses than run back and forth from the more distant garages; that option is less expensive.

The last hospital I worked had a parking garage across from it that charged a $1.00/day, that was the only time I paid for parking due to working in mostly small communities.

We pay for parking, although, we do not pay nearly as much as some of the PPs.

I've paid at 3 out of 5 Chicago area hospitals where I've been. Not uncommon where parking is at a premium, and public transportation alternatives exist.

We don't, but those that work in the city rather than the suburbs get the joy of paying for parking. Strangely, I don't find that as bad as charging patients/visitors for parking. Which the bigger hospitals in even the suburban areas around here do. I guess I just feel like they already pay enough to be there to have to pay for parking too? But that's apparently how they pay for the parking decks. The company that builds them gets to charge for parking instead of the hospital having to pay to build them.
