Can anyone tell me how much a CNA would make in California hospitals?

I recently moved here from the east coast and I am looking for jobs. It's been kinda hard though, I put in several applications and only got a interview set up once. Can anyone give me a ball park figure of how much aides are paid here? Are there unions? I am used to making decent money but got kind of worried after my last interview. Some one please help me out.

That's a pretty good rate for just starting out. I am working here in oceanside now at an area hospital. I'm pretty satisfied with the pay. What school are you going to?
