Does your facility pay a differential for ED?

Specializes in ED.

I have worked in 3 different Emergency Departments in Tennessee and Georgia over the last 9 years. I have never been given a differential for working in a "Critical Care" area. My cousin, who works in Southern California, claims to receive a $5 differential there. I am curious if the differential is a regional thing or not.

At the facilities where I've been a registered nurse is a registered nurse as far as pay, regardless of diploma, ADN, or BSN.

The two small hospitals in which I have worked (less than 50 beds total in each hospital) did not offer a pay differential for any unit, including ER and CCU/ICU.

I work in Upstate NY and we receive no differentials for unit specialty. I've been in ED for several years, no extra money. RN is an RN is an RN (degree doesn't matter either).

I worked at 3 different icus in so cal....no differential. Ive heard of this, but believe its uncommon now. Most facilities give you extra pay for getting certified in your specialty. Including med surg.
