Hi all, I'm wondering how many MDS. nurses are asked to be part of the weekend on call rotation. And how about covering and or having to go in on your assigned weekend to work the unit?

hi all, my facility also has "baylor" weeekends. we have nurses that work only those 2 twelve hour shifts, and still can't seem to make it to work when scheduled! i am on call every 5th week(including the weekend). have worked more weekends now, than when i rotated every other, as a floor nurse!! no extra pay, as salaried also. using the words of rodney dangerfield...we get no respect!

I am on call once a month, with no extra pay. How do you get some extra compensation for being on call? I have brought it up and it seems to be a "sore subject" and "the economy"
