CRCST (HSPA) and CSPDT (CBSPD) are the credentials employers cite most often; some systems will hire trainees who agree to certify within a set period.

Pay varies by hospital system and shift differential — see our salary basics guide for a national framing, then confirm numbers on each employer posting.
