What moves your pay

  • Experience and credentials: certifications and years in the specialty usually move you up the published range.
  • Shift: nights, weekends and holidays often add a differential on top of the base range.
  • Setting: academic centers, trauma hospitals and large systems often publish higher ranges than community sites.
  • Location: pay follows local cost of living and demand, so compare cities, not only states.
