I live in Elgin , IL and the C.N.A. jobs start at $11 and the most is $16. Even new grads have a $300 sign-on and make $11,$12 . Not so bad

Thats awesome! I worked at a nursing home right outside Portland, Maine for a few years while living up there and I made $17.50. That was weekend pay but I also was per diem so that bumped me up a few bucks and I was ALWAYS looking for extra shifts that were posted because they were either Double Time, +$10 or +$6 an hour. CNAS have to be crafty!! Always keep your eyes out for how to make THE MOST money because we work very hard and do hard work! Companies will always try to screw you so you have to be on top it!!

I'm in Wisconsin and work in a hospital. I make 14.00 hourly, 3.30 for working NOCS, and 3.00 for working weekend program. So 20.30 an hour since I only work weekends.

Kbites, what hospital are you working for? I will be getting certified in the next few months, and would prefer working in a hospital.

Was this at a hospital or a LTC? I just got my CNA cert today and have been looking at jobs at hospitals.
