ER RN salary

[newfloridaRN]

Do any of you mind sharing how much your base pay per hour is? I just got a new job, and I feel that my rate is less than I should be making in Pennsylvania. I mentioned my two years experience to the recruiter and she said that I would be making $1 more an hour for evenings and also for taking charge. She also said that I would be getting annual raises, so my rate should go up soon. What do you all make in your state?

how much does a dialysis nurse with one year experience earn?

My base is $31.00...w/ shift diff...I'm getting about $34.00 working 11a-11p

[Pete495]

Starting pay for a Grad RN in PA is 20.23/ hour in our hospital. Yes there is a shift diff, and weekend diff. the shift diff is like 1.10 whereas the weekend diff is only .49 or some crap like that.

Pennsylvania - about a 100 bed hospital with a 9 bay ER that can get quite hectic - $21.90 with 3 years nursing experience and 1 year ER experience - $1 shift differential for 3-11 and nights & $3 per shift for charge

I have just over two years experience inthe ER. I started at 22/hr with 2.50 differential for PM's I work 11a to 11p. Within the last two years though I have recieved $6 in raises towards my base pay. The benefits aren't all that great though and they change them every year- such a hassle. We also don't get any "critical care" differential like the ICU does....what is that about????

In Albquerque new GN starts off at approx $20 hr. Weekend night diff is $8. Night diff during week in $5 hr. Weekend day diff is $3 hr. Relief charge is $1 hr. Permanent charge is 10% pay raise. Clinical ladder is $1hr for level 1 and $3 hr for level 2 and $6 hr for level 3.

Which company do you work for? Just curious since I'm starting nursing school in June at UNM.

It all depends on the hospital, too. In Alabama, I worked at one hospital that paid new grad $17.25 base. $4.00 shift diff for nocs. No diffs for bachelor's degree or certs.

Another I work at pays $18.03 base plus $1.00 for bachelor's plus $2.00/hr shift diffs for evening (3p-11p - you get the diff if you work 3p-7p on a day shift as well) and $3.00/hr shift diff for nocs. They also pay extra for certs - one for ACLS and another for any national (i.e. TNCC) cert.

A friend will graduate this year and will start out making $28/hr working Baylor weekends.

$ 20.00 hr . I feel sometimes that each and every person that we see, there life is somewhat in our hands, We put IV's in and add different medications into their systems we give them pills and usally have 6-8 patients in a ED ( fast paced,highly stressed enviroment) I have a brother that works on tec support for computers ( saves them) and gets paid 8$ more that myself. Same Associates degree just different jobs, my kids school bus driver gets 3$ more tan me. Just don't understand.

Although at times Bostonians can view things differently. And you will need to learn that a jonnie is a patient gown and a bubbler is a water foutain. At a MNA hospital nurses >20 years 42.00 plus 6.00 hours shift diff. If you are the RR Nurse it is an extra 10.00 hour and then there are the extra weekend differentials

and if you work any over your weekend commitment it's an additional 7.00 bonus. YOu are never more than 30 imin from any beach not more that 1 hour to sku in the winter and 3 hours to party in New york for a play on broadway.....that's why I stay...that and the 50.00 dollars and hour staff pay!

In Texas major metro area, PRN rate is 32.00/hr with 6.00/hr weekend diff. Before I went PRN, my rate was 27.00/hr.

I was looking at old pay stubbs and I now make more $$ working two weekends a month as I did working 20 hrs/week in 2003.

Started 6 years ago as RN at 17.00/hr. Now after 2.5 years of Med Surg and 4 years in ER, working nights I'm at $34.00/hr.
