Hi all just wondering what type of overtime incentives there are out there in az. I'm still a student and I keep hearing of $1000 + time and a half but that seems like an awful lot. let me know of the incentives you've heard of and which area of the hospital.
I'm the $8.00 an our incentive person. I just heard through the grapevine that the hospital is considering squashing the OT incentive. I don't know quite how they'll staff the hospital. I get a call almost every day asking if I can come in to work. Obviously, even the incentive isn't keeping us staffed up to par. Wondering what will happen if they cancel the incentive?
A friend of mine who works at CR says she gets $500 for coming in on an off day, plus double time.
Is that hospital wide policy or is she in a specialty?
Also, does anyone know if the new freeway loop off the 60 in East Mesa goes down around towards Chandler yet? Or will it even? I'm always on the hunt for a new job for my mom, and she's mentioned CR a few times but it's too far a hike for her presently. But if that freeway extends that way........
Wow, I can't believe all the OT incentives at hospitals around here!!
We have NO OT incentives. If we work an OT shift, it's time and a half. But we have nothing in addition to the time and a half. We can sign up to be available for a shift and if they call you then it's double time .... but they only use those people as a last resort. We never have a problem with being short-staffed though ....as there are tons of nurses on our unit that are more than happy to pick up extra shifts, just for time and a half.

Oh no, not just CVICU, it's hosp wide. Tell me the admin isn't desperate! It prolly just KILLS 'em at each productivity meeting.
I do have to commend them for stepping up and offering it, as much as it must kill them. They could just demand we take heavier loads (well, they did/have done that).
You only need two things to make it a hospital, a patient and their nurse. Without either, well then it's just a really bad hotel.
