Do nurses get paid hourly or salary.

I get paid hourly. I work 12 hour shifts and get overtime after 80 hours in the 2 week payperiod.

We get paid an hourly rate four 12 hour shifts. Also, overtime if we put in for it for missing breaks or having to stay after our shift is over. We don't get paid overtime after 40 hours (work 84 hours in 2 weeks) but we do get a paid day off every six weeks, which is equal. It's actually really nice because if you take that day with a stat day you get a paid week off every six weeks.

hi! i'm working in at kaiser in cali and am paid by the hour. OT, which is anything over 40hrs/wk or 8hrs/day (aka a double or 2 consecutive shifts), is paid time and a half for the first 4 hrs and double for the last 3.5 hrs.

It depends on the job. If you work as floor or staff nurse you usually get paid hourly with OT being anything over 40 hours. If you have an administrative job such as DON, ADON, you get paid salaried.

There are some salaried positions mainly in administration. For the most part floor nurses are hourly. We need to get paid for when we work. Too often we're stuck working late after the shift ends for various reasons (usually doing paperwork, or emergencies).

OK, in the hospitals where I work, regular staff nurses are paid hourly. Differentials (additional amounts) apply for off-shifts, holidays, supplemental status, call-back's, etc. USUALLY ONLY management and office nurses(case managers) are salaried. This applies to hospital work, I am reminding you.
