Could someone please give me an idea of how much an "E.R. tech" or "Patient Care tech" would make at a D.C. E.R. Thanks

IF NO ONE POSTS, CALL A HOSPITAL JOB LINE OR A HOSPITAL RECRUITER. THEY COULD HELP. I VISIT D.C. QUITE OFTEN, BUT I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA. I know when Iworked ER I would give my eye teeth for a good ER tech. Heck, I live in Oklahoma, I would give every other tooth to have a good ER tech!!!

for comparison sake:

I work PT (20 hrs/wk) as a Patient Care Tech in a NJ inner-city ER (14 beds + 2 gyn/pelvic rooms + 8 subacute rooms) and make $10.39/hr (day).

I also work as a per diem cardiac monitor tech on a 32-bed telemetry/progressive care unit and make $13.97/hr (evening differential).

Though this an old post, I thought I'd reply anyway. I am starting next week as an ER Tech in a Level 2 trauma center. The base rate is $11.04, with a $1.06 differential after 2:30pm, and an additional $.50 on weekends. So, since I will be working nights, and every other weekend, I figure an average of about $12.25. Not getting rich by any means, but respectable for the position.

most hospitals start you as a cna, which is like 11.30, then if you are a tech, with the drawing blood and starting iv lines etc, you would be looking at $14
