Master's Degree Pay Increase?

Published

Hello,

I currently work as a Canadian RN.  In our province, there is a pay increase for your hourly wage once you obtain a Master's degree.  It is only a few dollars but it is still something.  I am planning to go to the US next year.  I am wondering if there is a pay increase for Master's degree RNs in the US?  (NOTE: we are not working in an advanced practice role.  We are still working as a staff RN.)

Please let me know,

Thanks

This is extremely facility specific. One of my employers did have a different pay scale for bedside nurses with an MSN. Another did nothing - a bedside nurse is a bedside nurse is a bedside nurse. My current one doesn't have a separate pay scale, but does have a level of the clinical ladder program that only those with an MSN can apply for.
