I was salaried until about 6 months ago. The upside of salaried was that I had the flexibility with my time, the down side, I converted from salaried to hourly and lost 32 comp hours. The upside to hourly is that now when I stay longer than 8 hours either to finish my work or help the nurses I get time and a half now. I am now on call too, with no compensation at all except if I have to come in , I would get OT. I think hourly works out better in the long run.

I have found that the salaried RNACs have more flexibility of their time to get their work but I was wondering if this group could share some of their feelings and experiences and the pros and cons of either? Thanks for any informaton you can share. Denise F.
