I'm salaried , do MDS and take call every third weekend. No on-call pay and no pay if I have to go in and push a med cart.
I knew this when I took the job 2 years ago. I've been pretty lucky, haven't had to go in much. But I don't dare have my beloved Margaritas that weekend. And, I love my job and the people I work with. :wink2:

I am a RN who Circulates and Assists in a Plastic Surgeon's OR and after our cases do clinic the rest of the day. Not only do we take call for our surgical patients but we also have Med/Spa and we recieve calls from them as well. Each day I am on call from 5pm until 9am Mon-Thurs, and then on call from 5pm Friday until Monday at 9am. We get time and half if we get called in but our call pay is...quite frankly...pathetic. I am curious what the average is for call pay. My previous job was in a small town community hospital OR and the call pay was $2.00 per hour and time and a half if called in. I would appreciate any input on this subject. I am hoping to discuss this with HR but need some data and averages before I approach them regarding this issue. THANKS!!!! Dallas, TX
