The people who's job it is to call the nurses at 6 a.m. are by far the most underpaid ... I was one for 2 years. Our office continually had people on stress leave. We got yelled at by: nurses that didn't want to work. Managers that wanted us to get a over-worked nurse in to work within 5 minutes but refused to allow us to pay the nurses overtime to entice them to come in. More nurses because they are ****ed off we called their co-workers to come in for overtime before them. I got yelled at by a nurses husband at least once a week for calling so early in the morning or so often.. and then i'd get yelled at by his wife the next day because I didn't call her for an extra shift.
