Do you get incentive pay for Triage

Specialties Emergency

Published

Hi guys, Triage is very busy and stressful in my hospital (like in most hospitals) I've heard that some hospitals pay from $1 to $3 x-tra for triage nurses, does anybody have any input on this, I'm trying to push for this Triage differential pay in my hospital in El Centro CA. I will appreciate your comments.

HAHA! That sounds like a joke to me. Even being a relief charge for a day doesn't get you anything more. :uhoh3:

I need to move one state over. No triage,charge, or preceptor incentives here. I just finished a 3-day triage course and discovered our whole system is really bad.

Getting paided extra for triage. Please tell me where you heard they were doing this. I'm a charge nurse at a busy ER and I get a whole dollar. Along with being a charge nurse-- I'm a transfer coordinator, triage nurse and a staff nurse. Sound fun huh?

I have 2 dedicated Triage Nurses a shift (sometimes 3 if the ER is rockin'). They dont get a differential, but Relief Charge RNs and Preceptors get a 2 buck-an-hour increase.

Extra pay for triage??? ummmmm NO. I get $1.25 per hour for being charge nurse. Our hospital does not give extra pay for triage or for preceptoring.

You get extra pay for charge nurse?!!!?

I think we just get battle pay for working in the ED altogether!

Not to mention dumping pay that each of the inpatient units should kick in for!
