Question about adon position

So I have wanted m-f for a long time at my job in ltc. I currently work 6-2 every other weekend off with my days off consistently being every other Tuesday and every other Thursday. I have been waiting for a office position to open and our don is now leaving so the adon has taken the don position. I was all happy about applying for this job because I knew I had a good chance of getting it but I found out it’s going to be the same hourly rate as I’m currently getting with 830-5 and call every other weekend. I have a side job which would be significantly decreased if I took the position and there isn’t a raise so I did let them know I would not be applying but I kinda feel deflated because I had really wanted it. Do adon positions usually make the same as a charge nurse?

    I got a $2 raise... mind you I was already making below what other charge nurses were making at the time... and when we are short staffed I was always coming in and I work well with my DON. You should really be getting a raise if you have this on call responsibility. I personally could never take another job with my position, charge nurse or ADON. You could apply and let them know you expect a raise or negotiate on in 90 days or something. But if it's more of a headache and not worth it to get M-F then maybe it's not for you.

    I applied and accepted the position. It was 1.50 hr raise plus pay for being on call and extra if I respond to text or calls ect. Im learning the ropes.

    It's nice to know when someone has some issue resolved.

    Good luck in your new position.

    Can I ask how you are reimbursed for calls and texts? Or is it like on call hours for that?

    .75 an hour for having my phone on then time and a half for calls and text. I’m still trying to figure out how to document those correctly. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to claim 30 seconds for a phone call lol
