Dec 17, 201411 yr Just a general question...if you are a nurse that does charge duties as well, how much extra do you get paid to do so? Here, at my hospital, staff RN's only do charge on the weekends and have an assignment as well. We get an extra $0.75/hr to handle that stress. Our director said they are going to look into other hospitals and will hopefully adjust to stay competitive. Any input would be appreciated.
Dec 17, 201411 yr Experts My place of employment pays nurses an extra $2 per hour to assume charge nurse duties. In my opinion, the added stress is not worth an extra two bucks an hour.
Dec 17, 201411 yr When I started working in the hospital, it was $2/hr. They took it away when the economy tanked and the charge RN does not get any financial incentive to being charge any longer.
Dec 18, 201411 yr $1.00 more an hour for charge nurse on a 26 bed tele/med unit. Definitely not worth the extra stress!!
