I have 30 years experience, live on the west coast and earn almost $50.00/hr........ I think there's quite a range! Ten years ER experience prior.

Uniform throughout the hospital. 50 cents more per hour with certification in your area. Union hospital 30+ years experience $43hr. East Coast pay, is usually higher than down South or Midwest in the USA. 10or 15% shift differentials for off shifts, evenings and nights. On call pay is 1 1/2 times hourly rate guaranteed four hours of pay even if you are only there one hour.
