Question about adon position

Published

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.

TY for the comeback.

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
