    What Drives Compensation Higher

    Facility size and bed count — a 700-bed trauma center commands higher compensation than a 100-bed community hospital.

    Geographic location — coastal metros and high-cost-of-living areas pay 15-25% above national midpoints.

    acuity complexity — facilities with higher acuity require more experienced leaders and compensate accordingly.

    Certification status — RNC-OB and RNC-NIC certifications typically add 8-12% to base compensation.

    Scope of responsibility — managing both L&D RNs and Lactation Supporters increases compensation versus managing a single discipline.

    System-level reporting — leaders reporting to a CNO or CFO command higher packages than those reporting to a department director.
