How do you get a sub?

I'm just curious what everyone else does if they are sick and cannot come into work. We have an online system we can call into, but if a sub doesn't pick up then I have no one to cover for me. I end up texting /emailing each sub on our list asking for help. We have very limited subs, and 9/10 they are unavailable. I have had to plan "in advance" to be sick before just to line someone up.

Anyway, just curious how you all handle it. I hate to have to worry about who is taking care of the health office when I'm sick, but coming in ill is not fun either!!

    65.00 an hour! I'm in the wrong job! LOL We pay $25.91/hour for subs which I think is decent but it's only higher because we agreed to give back 2 of our holidays to increase the hourly wage making it somewhat more enticing for a sub to want to cover for us. Needless to say, it's not working. ?

    The agency probably gets that - NOT the nurse ?

    We pay $35/hour but this increase is new this year. It is pretty decent. Agency is like $65/hour (and agency nurse does not get that much an hour).
