CCT pay?

Hi all,

I'm interviewing for a Critical Care Transport position that is starting at my facility. Since we are the guinea pigs, we can shape it a lot....

From what I can tell, they're thinking of 12 hour shifts, and when not on a call, we are the critical care resource nurse for the department. They're still trying to work out out scope (from what I can tell, I'll ask more in the interview).

Since we are taking on more liability, some of us interviewing believe we should be paid more than our ED counterparts.

Thoughts? Do you know of facilities that pay more? Ideas for arguments for an increase in pay? Also, for GROUND ambulance, what typically do you see for scope of practice?

Thanks very much!

    Yes. I believe so.

    Ohhh. Okay, well I guess they won't be in much of a hurry to help you guys out then. How big of an area are you going to cover?

    Yes. I believe so.

    Are you primarily trying to create a retrieval service or a sendout service?

    I'm assuming it is a sendout service? The industry leans heavily towards ICU and it sounds like you are using ER RNs not your ICU RNs so I'm guessing you do not have a high acuity ICU to draw staff from, but are a smaller facility looking to send your patients out?

    Looks like it's just local medical ICU transport starting out. Interviewed just recently. Unsure if I will get it, but we will see. Thanks for the guidance!
