Hey everybody, I work in a Cardiac Cath Lab in central Florida. I am on call this weekend :-( . I wanted to ride my bike up to the gym but really can't, it would take me a bit longer than the required thirty minutes to get to the hospital if I were called in. So I guess I have to drive. At our lab we get $2 an hour for call pay. That seems crazy low to me for the sacrifices: no drinking, have to be ready to bolt out the door in a moments notice, cant really go anywhere and have to have the phone on you at all times.
Anyway, just curious what other on-callers are getting per hour? Also if we get called in we get time and a half for call back pay.
Thx-Dan
