Pay grades for different units??

[MarySnov]

Hi,

I know that every hospital/clinic is different so I'm just asking for general information.

I want to know if nursing positions in ICU or ER or clinics generally pay the same as Medical-Surgical units, or to they pay more or less?

Can you tell me from your own experience if you were paid more or less after a transfer? This would be after gaining experience on a med-surg unit.

Thanks!!

In my facility, RNs are paid the same at a base level, regardless of where they practice. The only "extras" are for BSN or certifications

In my facility, the pay scales are identical for every RN, regardless of where the RN works. However, there are other ways to increase income: procedural areas that include call coverage, units that also include call coverage (L&D, ER, critical care), OT shifts that are posted on our intranet, clinical laddering (top level requires either BSN or specialty certification).
