On call nurse

i've done weekend oncall for a year now for a south atlanta, GA for profit agency. I start at 5p on friday and i'm on til monday 8am. I have a backup nurse, should two emergencies or deaths occur at the same time. im salaried, which works well--on a good weekend, i may be out for 8 hrs the whole weekend---on a bad weekend, i may be out for 60 hrs. I can usually go for about 14-16 hrs, before i just need a few hour break...once i get to hour ten, i'll call my backup and let her know it's been bad, to give her a heads up to lay down for a few hours until I just can't go any further...

Id rather do on call weekend than be a m-f case manager. I'm good at handling situations as I have 10 yrs hospital/critical care setting and 4yrs hospice.

i go in on monday morning to turn in paperwork and give report

which hospice do you work for, or are you just gathering information? you can pm me privately..I can tell you about the offer I received from a hospice

The hospice I work is M-F 8-430 salary. Then I have to cover one night (between Monday and Thursday) from 4:30 p.m.-8a.m. for call. That is 60additional pay. If I get called out, I subtract those hours from my usual 40 during the week. I am on call one weekend a month right now from friday at 4:30 p.m.-8a.m. Monday and get 300 for the wknd in addition to the salary. I work in Wisconsin. If you have further questions, email me.
