Is Rads the only field where the overnight work is the worst experience but also pays the least premium? Weird.
I don’t agree this is the case with the current 7 on 14 off nights job market. If you get paid the same as everyone else in your group to do nights but only work 17-18 weeks of nights per a year, then you’re coming out way ahead than a mere 10-20% shift differential. On a per hour basis you’re getting paid double. If you’re in a short staffed group inevitably it’s the day side guys who end up taking less vacation, doing more weekends, and staying late every day. No one dares tell the night guys that they have to work extra weeks of days or have to stay an extra thirty minutes to an hour after their scheduled shift ends.
Everyone thinks they have it the worst and work the hardest. Even the normal daytime rad complains about the overnight guy who works every 3rd weekend. lol
If you work 17 weekends a year as nights and 121 days, that’s a better deal than working 12 weekends a year as days and 234 days. The night shift at my old group was 8 hours and the day shift has an unlimited length and goes up to 9.5 to 10 hours on bad days. But go ahead, crucify yourself on the cross for working 5 more weekends and 113 less days than your burnt out daytime RP rads.
Ontop of this the night guys all had a ton of time to moonlight internally so they’d get paid the same base salary/bonus as daytime FTEs but then could do another 150k-250k in moonlighting that the daytime guys just didn’t have the time to do since they worked 234 days.
This guy has got all the numbers. They all show that he works the hardest. I’m sold!
