(Osceola, Orange and Seminole Counties). Turn phone/PDA on to
accept assignment information no later than 8:00pm. (The same as if you start an office
job at 9am in the morning you don’t bill the time it takes you to
get ready at your house/drive to the office; your start time of 9pm
is when you should be able to be ON-SITE at a hospital or facility).
