All companies offer vary AND while you know there are differencess, being a new canidate - to ask the person interviewing you is ok/ To get it in writing is another. To be a CNA means you do have several options-take three jobs and then go on with the ones you like the most and pays the most. Medical is nice - also a business of pay a choice of working in a good progressive envoirment.

But what city is it in, and how many months/years of experience did you have at that pay rate? And what type of facility is it?

I'm in PA,it seems from my experience that county, by county the rates are very different.
The county I live in the average depending on experience is anywhere between 9.00-12.00 an hr.
I worked in a different county, the starting wage was 13.00-14.00 an hour.

I recently was hired as PRN in a LTC facility that is just over a year old. The facility is about 40 minutes from Houston, Texas. I wouldn't say it's rural but definitely not big city.
I'm starting off with $9.50/hr with no prior medical experience.

I cant wait to become a CNA! If I commit for a year I'm sure I will get a pay raise soon enough to help pay the bills (well a portion of it), while enjoying my job!
