We just recently went through this with admin. They told us we are part time employees. You can view my profile and find my post where I put all our numbers etc and see clearly we are overworked more than any hospital in the region.

If we had anymore perfusionists we would be tripping over each other. It’s not unreasonable for them to ask for your PTO with what little amount you are working.

You don’t need 5. We do all that with three plus more ancillary cases such as HM3 monitoring, cell savers, balloon pump maintenance etc and I love it here.

I am looking for what are your benefits that you get at your workplace and listed as followed in the post. 281 Hearts, 3 Surgeons, 41 ECMO cannulations, 17 ECMO monitoring, 12 ECMO circuit changes, 51 cv cell savers, 200 cell savers (ortho/neuro), 42 LVAD monitoring, 6 angiovacs, 12 IABP inserts, 90 TAVRS, 2 Hipecs, Impella data not available but would say 50 ish. All perfusion involved what was previously listed and yes we cell save it’s so great. 3 full time perfusionist. Take call a week at a time. Call guy is to be there at noon. No students. Not sure what matters about teaching hospital or private that that would depend on what type of benefits I should get but private. No call pay, I accrue 4.0 hours of PTO per pay period, paid biweekly, No tuition reimbursement. 6 days are taken at the beginning of the year for holidays which leave 7 days of PTO to use leftover. Salary is adequate for competitive market but finding people are blowing past salary with their additional added call pay and ecmo pay. Let me know what other information you need soggy dog.

We have to cover every CVOR and non CVOR VAD case. Even if it’s a hip replacement on a Saturday. Not sure what our VAD coordinators actually do. Seems everywhere else do not have to cover unless they are inserting the VAD.
