I'm an RN that was called into work to be a pt sitter. They're paying me $33/hr to be a patient sitter. No idea how this is cost effective for the hospital when they could be paying a CNA $10/hr. Does your hospital call nurses in to sit with patients that are a fall or suicide risk?

it would be a cold day in you know where if my place paid nurse wages for a sitter. We usually go without one,
