What affects pay
Location matters most in the BLS data: metro medians in Texas range widely, and large hospital markets tend to pay more than nonmetropolitan areas.
Employers also commonly offer shift differentials for evening, weekend and on-call work, and some pay more for additional ARDMS or CCI credentials. These vary by employer and are not part of the BLS wage estimates.
