National Certification Exam Candidates

Good morning all,

Curious to know if any NBCSN certified nurses have received a pay increase (whether via an annual stipend or a "step up" in your pay scale) after becoming NBCSN certified?  At this time, nurses in our districts are part of our teacher's union and are paid according to educational experience. For those who have a BSN, they're paid on a much smaller scale than even a first year teacher as our educational requirements for our jobs are quite different. (For example, a 20-year experienced nurse without a Master's Degree makes much less than a third year master's degree educator). 

We are looking for any feedback from districts that have offered non-master's certified nurses any salary increase after becoming certified (as this is one more way to show that we are experts in our field!).

Hello, 

My district currently doesn't give a pay increase for getting the certification. We are on the same scale as counselors, speech pathologists, and psychologists who do get a stipend for their certification. So,  we want to include it in negotiations because we have some nurses interested in obtaining the certification.  

Thank you
