Call pay

When I've been on call, the pay has been $1-2 per hour for the on call time, but if I had to go into the hospital, I got my regular rate of pay for time I was in the hospital.

I think a max of 3 to 5 patients is a really low estimate. What happens if more than 5 need something? Is someone else assigned to be on call once you've seen 5? I kind of doubt it...

Was this for an NP position? This seems like similar call rates I have seen for RNs?

What I wrote was for RNs. I never was on call as an APRN.

Even so, it seems 3-5 patients to see, seems a low estimate, and I still wonder who sees those who need to be seen after you hit #5?

$3 an hour for overnight call

On call as an RN was 9.50 an hour at hospital. If called in, paid regular rate for a minimum of 4 hours.

When I was an anesthesia tech in the 90's, the call pay for CRNA's was $10/hr. In consultation with a collegue recently he shared that he recieved his normal hourly rate unless he got called the he got time and a half. This was in Alaska. I don't think I'd go for $1-$4/ hr for call pay. Heck, I'd pay some one that to take my call. I might consider it at half rate if it was phone call only.

we have to stop selling ourselves short. We are taken advantage of because we allow it.

No pay for 'on-call' or telephone calls, but if I have to go in and round on patients in hosp on evenings or weekends (new consult etc) then it is $70/hr for worked time.

Cardiac

I get $100 per night for phone-only call. Usually 2 or 3 calls. Day call on the weekend is paid as a normal 8 hour day. Round on patients, then calls only after that. Usually takes no more than 2 hours to round.

Hospice

I got an offer where they specify 5 days a month on call at 5$/hr and 60$/hr if I have to go in (wage around 50$/hr normally). Any tips for negotiating around that? Does that generally include when you are required to stay after or work additional days or would that be covered elsewhere in an agreement if at all?
