We have a few moonlighting options in-house and a new one coming up that's outside but kind of in-house (a new long-term care hospital in the area). VA weekend night coverage (admits up to 8 patients and cross-covers 2 teams - up to 32 patients) pays $60 an hour for a 12-hour shift. Nights in the BMT unit pays $70-75 an hour for a 12 hour shift. The long-term care hospital offers $500 for a 12 hour weekend or night shift.
 
I know hospital based 75-80/h may be from 4-12 shifts
 
i sit on my a$$ for 12 hours (its really boring), and get paid $60/hour for goint to rapid responses (very rare, 1, maybe 3 times a day) and reading PICC line films once in a while, i do NO admissions.

i thought about going for a higher paying moonlighting job, but i didn't want to work.
 
At a local hospital, I do call for $50 an hour... 12 hour shifts... but there's really not much to this call. I get to do a lot of reading 🙂

When I do locums for clinics.. I charge $250 per half day.
 
Urgent Care Outside ED. $80/hr -- 10 hour shift
In-house medicine call $65/hr -- 14 hour shift
 
$1000 for a 12-hour inhouse shift.
 
Urgent Care $50/hr - three hour shifts during the week and 6 or 9 hour shifts on the weekend.

We also have a contract with a rehab hospital that we cover at night. 7-7. Get paid $450. Really don't to do a whole lot. Read a few xrays upon arrival verying tube placements and run an occasional code. For the most part it's sleeping for dollars
 
$90/hour in the Cardiothoracic ICU. In house call- 12 hour shifts.🙂

I'm interested in hearing what those of you who moonlight make on an hourly basis. The place where I moonlight hasn't raised its wages in as long as I can remember (7 years) and I wonder if we're being underpaid.

Over the last five years in my area the wages have not gone up either.

I would say that when you moonlight you get paid the equivalant of if you were an attending adjusted to an hourly basis. That is true where I am.

I've seen moonlighting ER jobs for as much as 130/hr in some rural areas. But with that comes the pitfalls of a rural ER.
