2009 On-Call Pay Scales

Published

We've been trying to get our on-call pay increased for decades! Our rate is $2.25 per hr. We are a hospital in the midwest. How is the rest of the country stacking up?

Specializes in GI/GU surg,Pacu, ct surg, home care, NH.

I work in the a large union hospital in NYC. We get paid 75% of our pay to be on call. We get time and half for coming in. When you do come in you have to get paid a minmum of 4 hours. So even if you only come in for 2 hours they have to pay you 4 hours.

I work at a hospital in the North East with 30 OR's and we get $10.25 an hour plus time and a half, and a 2 hour minimum. This is of course for the Neuro specialty team.

The general Call team gets payed $4.25 an hour, plus time and a half, and a 2 hour minimum.

Neuro Specialty??? And what are you called in for? Crani? I hope not, cause this is a standard procedure for any OR nurse. Spine? I've yet to see a neuro surgeon on call that takes spine trauma..usually ortho guys...aneurism clipping? How many of these do you do to get paid $10.25??...I'm just wondering how much does your orto team gets?
