Could someone please give me an idea of how much an "E.R. tech" or "Patient Care tech" would make at a D.C. E.R. Thanks

IF NO ONE POSTS, CALL A HOSPITAL JOB LINE OR A HOSPITAL RECRUITER. THEY COULD HELP. I VISIT D.C. QUITE OFTEN, BUT I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA. I know when Iworked ER I would give my eye teeth for a good ER tech. Heck, I live in Oklahoma, I would give every other tooth to have a good ER tech!!!

for comparison sake:

I work PT (20 hrs/wk) as a Patient Care Tech in a NJ inner-city ER (14 beds + 2 gyn/pelvic rooms + 8 subacute rooms) and make $10.39/hr (day).

I also work as a per diem cardiac monitor tech on a 32-bed telemetry/progressive care unit and make $13.97/hr (evening differential).

Though this an old post, I thought I'd reply anyway. I am starting next week as an ER Tech in a Level 2 trauma center. The base rate is $11.04, with a $1.06 differential after 2:30pm, and an additional $.50 on weekends. So, since I will be working nights, and every other weekend, I figure an average of about $12.25. Not getting rich by any means, but respectable for the position.

most hospitals start you as a cna, which is like 11.30, then if you are a tech, with the drawing blood and starting iv lines etc, you would be looking at $14

You can start Iv's as an ER tech??????

I realize that this is an old post, but I was wondering if anyone has information on what PCT salaries are like in the Philadelphia area, particularly the Main Line Hospitals. Thanks!!

Hi Ritz2010....I know I'm super late but I was wondering if you ever found out how much they paid the patient care techs at main line health??????

Hey all.

I am a medical assistant who is in the process of being hired for an ER tech position in a Phila hospital (interview went great, Shadow Day is tomorrow!) Anyways, when I found the position online it listed that the starting hourly wage for this position was $15.85 with the median being 17 something.

Hope this helps!

You sure as heck can! This surprised me too, when the interviewer disclosed this information in the interview. I thought you had to be a nurse to start IV's, but I guess it just depends on where you work.

Hi, I was wondering was it difficult for you to get hired at the hospital??? I have been a CMA for 2yrs now but I cant find anywhere thats hiring, I kept applying to Upenn and Jefferson and Mercy but it seems they only want MAs with experience, like how am I suppose to get experience if no one hires new grads....any info would be helpful...

I have heard that this position is somewhat competitive. However, I don't have much experience (besides LOTS of shadowing docs and medical mission trips) and was recently hired as an ED Tech. I have heard many hospitals hire nursing students. I myself, start an Accelerated BSN program at the medical center in San Antonio, TX this May. I also have a Bachelor in Science.

Any who, I would think that an ER Tech position may be a good place for you to start. Just let them know your serious and passionate you are. I put quite a bit of time into my resume, and I included a cover letter.
