Do you get a differential for working in the ER? If you do, I would really appreciate if you would PM me and let me know how much and at which facility, (or a least the name of the town). I am trying to get together a proposal for the CEO at my facility. Thank you so much for your help!

Sorry to tell you this, but I have worked ER in quite a few cities and have never gotten a special differential for working it. I think we should of course, but we don't, or at least I haven't in Atlanta, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Tucson, or Asheviille, NC.

I used to travel nurse, and have never seen an ER diff either. The only differential I ever saw for a specialty was $3.50, and it was for ICU. It should have been higher...they treated their nurses like crap!

methodist hospital in san antonio, gives you higher rate of pay for nurses working in ER and ICU since you had to go out of your way to get certifications like acls,tncc,cen,
pals. Salaries are very comfortable.

Nope, just get .50 extra an hour for having TNCC or CEN.

We got an additional 1.50 per hour for keeping up certification in ACLS and TNCC in Florida. ( I since don't work there any more) :)

I have a relative who works in the ER in Gadsden, AL and she had told me they receive a $1.00 diff. The hospital considers it a critical care area.

Mine has always been figured in to the salary. Most have paid for ACLS and PALS.

no diff for er,cen,acls,tncc. but do have shift diff and a wapping $0.50/hr for charge. but max nurse to pt ratio 1:5, so not bad stress-wise.
good luck with the diff and let us know so we can use you as an example for when we go to ask for a differential.:)

No differential- they pay for ACLS, PALS. No extra for CEN but will reimburse the cost of the test if you pass.
Weekend and shift differentials though
And some weekend programs that get higher rates
