Float pool at your facility?

Hi,

I have been in the float pool at a regional facility for 7 months and I am finally getting comfortable. My previous experience was in 2 smaller hospitals so we were jack of all trades.

Currently I am oriented to EVERY possible place we could be floated to...ICU's,NICU,ER,Postpartum,Med-Surg,Tele...everywhere.

My current regional facility offers NO $ incentive to be in the float pool. The main advantage as far as scheduling goes is that we only have to work every 4th weekend.Most if not all floors in this facility require every other weekend. We are still required to work nights and days however we are afforded a lot of flexibility with regards to scheduling. We can basically pick our work days and times (8's or 12's).

Here is my question....could you give me an idea of what the pay differences are at the facilities you work at for float pool?

Thanks for your help.
Have a great day....don't forget to smile...it makes 'em wonder what you're up to!!
