Depends on the hospital.
When you're fully staffed like we are, there is zero OT and we're encouraged to flex.
When there's a lot of turnover there tends to be OT available.
Don't forget raging norovirus infections, old pharmacists getting knee replacement surgery, or people just getting pregnant and going on maternity/paternity leave.
I think new babies and old knees helped fund a new car for me last year coming out of residency in OT alone.
And God Bless the People's Republic of California where my OT rates are no less than triple-digits per hour.
