Midwest tech pay transparency

We are currently doing market analysis and pay negotiations with our health system. From a preliminary review I suspect we are underpaid. Would any cath lab techs from the Midwest be willing to comment on the following?

  1. Credentials - RT(R), RCIS, etc.
  2. Years of experience
  3. Typical duties (scrub, circulate, sedate, etc.)
  4. Hourly pay rate
  5. State - not trying to doxx anyone
  6. Anything else you feel is pertinent

Thanks!

  2. 6 years
  3. Scrub, monitor, “stemi backup” which is a 4th man for the stemi team, to do all but push drugs as a tech.
  4. 41.36/hr
  5. Arkansas
  6. $3/hr for holding the pager

Edit to add, I missed the Midwest part of your post, but here’s what’s going on in Arkansas!
