Yes, of course we are paid when there are no surgeries!  [/quote]

Sorry, I've worked in over a dozen hospitals over 20 years and direct care nurses are hourly workers. If they don't come into work, they don't get paid unless the use PTO. It's hardly a model nannies want to start emulating. Nurses get called off when work is low, with no pay. They have to be on call at home for minimal if no pay.

I think your nanny is being ridiculous. You don't mention her total hours per week, but, at 15 hours, somewhere between a 1/4 and a 1/3 (or more) of her job does not involve direct child care. This is the job she has agreed to do. Most nannies don't get extra vacation when there bosses leave town just for the heck of it. They get it because there is nothing for them to do, and they have guaranteed hours. Your nanny is still able to do a large portion of her job. You are still giving her an extra 4.5 days of vacation, and she is complaining about not getting the additional 0.5 day![/quote]

I am the OR nurse and this has never been my experience.  What hospitals are you referring to?  [/quote]
