Pay/Grade differientals for BSN

I was just wondering if your place of employment offers increased pay for BSN. I graduated with my BSN and the hospitals in my area offered a differential (usually $1-$2 more / hr and a higher grade ie.RN2) I just moved to a large midwestern city and education has no impact on the pay scale. How common is this? The hospital is applying for Magnet status and I would think this would be something that would be considered.

I live in Illinois and this is the norm - no pay differential. At the VA there is a great deal of diff for many different factors. However, with the increasing nursing shortage many hospitals are just happy to get an RN. Good luck!

None extra for the degree, but BSNs could climb one rung higher on the clinical ladder than diploma or community college ADs.

Same here in Colorado - no pay difference. The only reason I will still get my BSN is in the event that there may be a job that I want someday that requires it. I would hate to lose out because of a piece of paper! SG

No difference in Ohio!

No pay diff in TX either (at least the facilities I have worked at in the DFW and SA/Austin areas. Does offer more points within a clinical ladder though.
