I'm currently an RN who is seeking SANE certification/training. The local hospital has stated for me to draw up a proposal for working with them with this certification. They want to know what my expectations with call and pay would be. My question is, one has anyone had to this ? What is a SANE nurse's typical call schedule? What is a SANE nurse typically get paid? If you have any suggestions for my proposal that would be great too! I have about 2-3 weeks to draw this up and present in order to be in time for the class. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

Have you looked at the International association of Forensic Nurses web site www.forensicnurse.org?

Where is your hospital located? Are there other SANE programs in your area, state? Your proposal should reflect the current market for your area.
Typically, SANE programs strive for 24 hour coverage, are paid an hourly rate to be on call (your hosp. HR dept can tell you what they currently pay for other nurses to be on call), and are paid either an hourly rate to come in and provide care or a flat rate for this.
