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!!
libran1984, ASN, RN 1 Article; 589 Posts Specializes in Emergency Nursing. Has 4 years experience. Apr 8, 2012 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.
