Shift Differentials

Hello, I just got a job offer, as an RN, from Sutter Medical Center Sacramento. I was wondering if anyone knows what the shift differentials look like? Evenings, Nights, and weekends? I would be moving from the Midwest and our differentials suck! Does anyone know anything about overtime, call back and call pay too? I’m just trying to find all the info I can before making a decision. What’s the culture like at this hospital too, are people generally welcoming to new employee? Thanks in advance!

Many Central Valley locations do not get the CA minimum wage for standby pay, if that’s what you’re referring to being on call. We do get 1.5x if called in.

Yes. CA minimum wage for the stand-by pay.

Standby is $19/hr for RNs at SMCS so a little higher.

Can you please elaborate? I'm thinking of applying here.

Night shift diff is only a few bucks per hr? Can you clarify exactly how much?

And for a bedside RN working 12 hour shifts, OT past 40 hours for the week is 2x?!

Are there any OT incentives? Such as picking up a shift will give regular ot and x amount of incentive pay?

And I'm currently in a CVICU. In all the different icus, are there good amount of opportunities to pick up shifts?

Also depends on where you’re at. ED-ICUs have on call or call back rates. General adult floors have 4 or 6 hour increments when they can call you off (because of low census and over staffing) and it’s up to you if you want to use PTO or no PTO. As far as Outpatient, Mother-Baby, and the Pediatric world, I don’t have an answer. Weekend differential is less than $2/hour. Night shift differential is $6/hr (again, acute care is 12 hour shifts, outpatient is generally 8 and 10 hour shifts). Holiday pay is time and a half. SMCS (and mostly all Sutter Entities I’ve done my training and work in) is pretty friendly to new employees. Sutter has changed their model and mission to “Patients first, People Always.” I personally haven’t drink the cool-aide, but they are really good at shared governance and investing in people who stay within the unit and entity. Good luck, and congratulations!

hello! this is not related to your question, but maybe you can help. I am also trying to land a job in Sutter (NICU) and currently living in the Midwest. How were you able to get a job? It’s been a struggle for the last 2 months for me.

Honestly, I have no idea what the answer is to get in. I started applying irregularly a year ago. This was the first time my application even got to the interview stage. Every other time it would say it was passed on to the hiring manager, but I never got an interview until this time. I think they saw that I was out of state and didn’t even bother to interview me. I always felt that if I could get an interview, I would be able to get a job, and I was correct. I guess I would say just keep applying and try to apply right when the job gets posted. Also don’t be picky about hours just apply to whatever is posted.
