I was well compensated at the only job where I did charge. I/we got 15% above base pay. I did it part-time for 18 months then full-time for 2 years.


They couldn't pay me enough now or ever again, ever. . .

Zero where I work too! Really not fair when you think about it is it????

I did the charge thing for 2months - after that, I was willing to pay them not to be in charge. Its glorified babysitting. The whining and bickering between the staff. More power to anybody who enjoys being in charge.

$1.70 an hour where I work. How much extra per hour would make it worth it, really?

A dollar an hour for us, and we do charge as well as a patient assighnment on my shift. Works out to about five bucks extra a shift after taxes...

[treddrn]

$2.00/hour where I work at and it is only for those couple of nurses that have been selected and trained. When the charge nurse is out and someone else does charge...they get nothing!! NADA!!!

[RNin92]

Extra money for Charge Nurses?!!??

Some one gets extra money for Charge Nurses!!??!!

Wow.

How much does unstoppable BS equate to...exactly?

[chedrn]

We now get $3.00 per hour.

I work for a Level 1 Trauma Center and we get $2.00/hr. as a relief charge. We have 2 "shift coordinators" for every shift as of this last month. That means that we will only have to do relief charge 1-2 X's per week.

I don't do charge but where I work the charge RN's get $1.00. I don't think it is worth it. I think they should get double pay for it.
