NP ICU Locums

[MedResource]

Hey guys. I need some advice from NP locums who work ICU, specifically nights. I am recruiting for a night NP icu position at a small hospital. The hospital is 70 total beds, 12 ICU beds. Some of the icu patients are intubated and on pressors but majority are on insulin drips, Bipap, dilt drips etc; what some hospitals would consider PCU or step down. The NP would be covering the ICU at night by him/her self, with access to a physician on call from home. there is usually one admission at night on average but sometimes none. The main thing is cross cover, so the expectation is that they know how to do vent management, run codes, central lines, a-lines etc. What is considered a fair hourly rate? I appreciate any input.
