Night Shift Differential

Evenings is like $3.00/hr shift diff and nights is $3.75/hr shift diff. The extra pay is the ONLY thing that keeps me on nights...well, that and the fact that night shift people rule

I get a $4.00/hr differential for nights (either 7P-7A or 11P-7A. There are quite a few people who work straight nights, because we also get extra time off (I think it's 30 hrs/ year) for vacation for working straight eves or night shifts. We can also cash this out, or use it when we wish after we've worked 6 months of straight nights.

here we get 15%/hour for weekdays and 25%/hour for weekends, Fri, Sat.

Last year, 10% of my salary was differential.

Not bad.

zee

where i work we have a $10/hr shift differential, a free catered midnight buffet and a limo service that rides us to and takes us home from work.

Hey thisnurse! You mean you guys don't also get free footrubs and pedicures while you chart, like we do?

But seriously....

When I work 7p-7a, I get a $2.50/hr differential for 7-11, and a $3/hr differential for 11-7. Our night shift is pretty well staffed. Day people mostly rotate to evenings.

$1.10 for 3-11; $1.40 for nocs. Would do it with out the extra pay for a lot of reasons, ie; no PITA management around, no road trips, most patients sleep more, staff is more laid back and not so frigen anal about every little trite detail.

At my hospital we make $4.50 per/hour dif for weeknights & $6.50 per/hour on weekends. We actually get holiday pay of time & a 1/2. 3 holidays in the last few months has been great.

When I was on Staff we got 0.55 for 3-11 and 2.55 for night, these were per hr. Also got an additional 5.00 per hr for weekend diff, all shifts- Friday from 7p-Sun 7p-7a.

I do agency now and we get whatever the institution we're at pays. Usually 0.50 per hr for Sat and Sun

Hi all

Here in north uk , I get paid an extra 12 + 1/2 % of my wages if I work more than a third of my shifts as nights. I also make a claim for a paid mealbreak as I cant leave the ward and I am the only RGN on duty.

This is great info, guys! Thanks...will be printing this all out and taking it to management!

As for not rotating shifts...all the hospitals around here do it. I guess there are not enough people to work steady nights. LTC offers steady shifts but not the hospitals. I would love to have steady shifts--I know I HATE rotating myself. But it also has its advantages. When I worked LTC, there were always "shift wars." Day shift blamed night shift for something, evenings blamed days, and nights blamed evenings. When you rotate, everyone knows what the other shifts are doing and no one can say "Your shift is always easy; my shift is always difficult." While there is some small degree that still exists (we do have steady nightshift people), sharing the shifts helps to defuse a lot of that.

I know many facilities try to entice nurses with shift differential, and in some cases it does work for me. I make about $3.50 extra an hour. I love nights anyway. I tried to work days and literally died! For some nurses it doesn't matter how much money they will only do days.
