Best of 2012: The year in controversy

10. Fargo hospital offers $15,000 bonus to RNs

The bonus also comes with the stipulation that the nurses must commit to stay at the hospital for at least three years.

We asked our Facebook fans if they’d head to Fargo for a bonus like that, and here’s what a few of them said:

“Heck yeah!”
