Do CCRN certified rn’s get additional pay? On top of the sign on bonus? My recruiter is saying we do.... but I cannot find this in writing and it seems too good to be true?

No additional pay for CCRN but having it and 66S you are eligible for frequent bonuses. Last I heard for active duty the peak is a six year contract for $35K/YR. Previously it had been $20K/YR. I racked up over $160K over eight years.

1LT, feel free to shoot me any questions, I have been a 66S since 2007 and on active duty since 2003.

Yes, it is true - keep in mind the sign on bonus and the special pay do not stack. I recommend to defer sign-on bonus and when you assess onto active duty opt for current 6yr/$35k special pay retention bonus w/ special pay tech at your duty station. Refer to DFAS link from MAJ Private RallyPoint Member. I am currently a 66S active duty, pay and ceiling is higher vs our civilian counterparts, goodluck!

We get bonus pay if contracts are available. Usually have to sign a 4-6 year commitment though.
