Our facility pays extra for specialty certifications if they are on an approved list for your department. (won't pay for trauma nurse cert unless you work in ED). The differential is approximately the amount needed for continuing education required to maintain your certification. We also have a subscription service to a university's website allowing our employees to do CE online, and free. I think that is pretty generous, as in Texas we must have 20 contact hours with license renewal every 2 years. As for personal growth: I feel no education is wasted.

Does specializing and contuining education automatically increase your pay or is it just a matter of self cultivation or perhaps a little of both?
