Where I work, the 4 nurses each take a week and take the beeper and are on call. The call is for questions,(med issues) advice, if its really bad, we come in... etc.. (residential facility for kids w/ behavior/psych issues.... NON PROFIT agency) ...But, it is completely uncompensated, we get not a dime for being on call... There is no contract, nothing, "just how they do it". Is this right? I mean, isnt this "nursing for free"... we are deffinitely off the clock, so, is this even legal, or does it even sound kosher to you BON -wise? this is a whole new world to me, and I cant find anything specific on my statesbon web site... so does anyone have any thoughts on this???? Thanks!!!
