on call requirement

Published

Hey fellow Hospice Nurses-

My company has recently increased on-call requirement - I am trying to get a feel for the industry expectation- I work part time 24 hours per week, I am in a case manager position. Anyone willing to discuss how much call they are required to take?

Thanks a bunch!

I also work for a smaller-ish agency. My current case load is 23, mix of home patients and facility, more facility but I'm in 4 buildings. I'm managing...

Earlier this year I was on call every day for 2 months straight with a few weekend days off here and there when my clinical manager was feeling generous. I had a case load in the 30's AND did they majority of training of 4 nurses. But... we are good now!!! I'm only on call 1-2 days a week AND I have every weekend off (which I spend a huge portion of documenting but I'm really not complaining!) Life is good right now. We are on call 5pm to 8am and we have someone who works friday-sunday 8am-8am which is a blessing!
