how much does your hospital pay to precept a new nurse?

Hello,

New to forums.

Curious to know what other hospitals pay to precept a new grad to an ICU.
My hospital pays $1.00 more an hour.
I want to write a proposal to the Chief of Nursing Operations at my hospital and ask for a new hourly rate; but I don't know how much to ask for.
Do you make extra $/hour to precept?

Thanks for your interest in responding.
Nothing except the personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment when things turn out well....

I am a preceptor at my hospital. I get paid $1/hr to precept any nurse new to the hospital whether it's a new grad or a seasoned nurse. Of course, new grads are going to take more hours to precept. Also, if the nurse stays longer than 6 months, I get a retention bonus of $500.

Yep $1 an hour, I would love a retention bonus

I get paid zero dollars and zero cents.

$1.50 an hour extra.

When I worked in the hospital we got $0.

I am a LPN and get paid an extra 50 cents an hour, and I precept new and older nurses alike as well as LPN and RN.

Not one cent.

I too am paid 0 dollars and 0 cents, unless I'm being shadowed by a nursing student, then it's $0.65 an hour. I'm not sure I understand the distinction, since in my unit a nursing student can do nothing unless s/he's doing a senior practicum. Our union tried during our last round of negotiations a year ago to have it changed so that all preceptoring activity attracted the premium but wasn't successful. I guess the employer noted that turnover is astronomical everywhere in the province and decided they just couldn't afford it. In the same way they decided our public health physicians were too greedy in their negotiations and fired them all.

After an experienced nurse attends a preceptor workshop and sucessfully orients one new nurse, they get a 4% raise.

An extra $1 per hour. There is no retention bonus for the precepter, but there is one if the new hire was referred by a current employee; that employee would get $1000 after 90 days.

Our hosp. pays nothing for a student pre-NCLEX. Post- NCLEX, they pay $1.00/ hour if the person is hired.If compared to my last preceptorship (a student post NCLEX) who had experience outside of RN, but thought he was the s*** and didn't need to learn, I'd hire my current student (pre-NCLEX), who has a heart, cares about his patient, strives to please and learn every day. . . knows he has gaps in skills and is not afraid to ask if he is over his head . . . I'd tell my boss in an instant to hire my current student vs my previous.
