L&D Nurses On Call

Hi fellow Canadians, looking for input from otherr L&D units as to how they run on-call/stand-by. Our hospital is trying to institute it, but it's causing much grief! If it runs well on your unit would appreciate knowing:

*do f/t and p/t do call?
*do you do 12 hour shifts?
*is unit covered by call 24/7 or just weekends/nights?
*what is premium pay for call?
*what are your nurses paid when called back in for busy unit but NOT the designated on call person?

And anything else you can think of.

Thanks! CIVICgalz in Ontario, Canada
