Hi there!! I have an interview with the ER manager here in Cetral Jersey. Just wondering what's the starting rate for someone with no ER experience.
Thanks a bunch!!

In a non-trauma ER, suburban hospital that I work at, the RNs start at $22.50 / hr. Make $3.75 shift differential after 3pm. After 11pm the shift diff goes up to $5. Weekends at 20% on top of base pay plus any additional shift diffs.
In the city with the trauma ERs Base pay goes up to $24-$26 with similar shift diffs, I believe.
The awesome part is my ER is always paging out extra hours, Critical Bonus, and Overtime. Crit pay here is $15 additional on top of base while other hospitals I know simply double your hourly rate for critical pay.

Hi!
how do you guys enjoy being an ER nurse? That's the field that I'm looking into and I wanted some feedback. Also, what type of experience do you need to be hired in as an ER nurse?
Thanks :)

I have been working in the ER on a day shift in NJ, for about 2 years. Not a trauma center. I am making over 35$ hr now and started at about 33$.
