What's the typical pay like in the ER or Trauma Unit for a person who just started in the ER compared to a more experienced ER nurse???

[Aneroo]

Probably depends on facility.
Where I work, you do not get special pay for certs (ACLS, PALS, TNCC)- b/c you are expected to get these after working there for a certain amount of time.
At other hospitals, RN's received a certain amount extra/hr for these certs.
Also depends on if your experience is in an ED or other floor, how many years, etc...

[ED RN 911]

In our ER, RN's and Medics are started off the same pay grid at about $32-36 an hour, plus cert pay.

Whew ED RN 911 I wanna work where you do! In central IL (read rural) level one trauma center our RNs new grads start at $17.50/hour. I work prn (work full time as a case manager) and make good money but do not get paid for any certs and I have the following: CEN, ACLS provider and instructor, CPR provider/instructor, ENPC provider/instructor, PALS provider, EMS lead instructor, BTLS, TNS (IL only cert), TNCC, PEPP, and I have an MSN to boot - no extra money. However, I love the ER.

In the UK, all ED nurses are paid more than ward nurses, this has caused alot of aggrivation amongst experienced ward nurses!

[steelcityrn]

Can you tell us what area you are in ed????

[ClaireMacl]

Me? I work in London. Our ED nurses are band 6 (old E grade), whereas the ward nurses are band 5 (E grade).
