CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I have a couple interviews for PCT positions, but I have no idea what to expect as a salary. I am a student nurse in NE FL. Please tell me where you live, your experience, and how much you make. I know I will probably have to take a pay cut, but to be doing what I am going to school for will be worth it, I think. Thanks for you help!

Specializes in Med Surg, Ortho, Tele, ICU, Hospice.

Made $9/hr at the nursing home (but we had great bennies)

Then at the hospice I made $12 plus travel time and miles for home visits

The hospital pays based on years of experience - By the time I got there I had two under my belt - started at 13.70.

I've found the hospital/LTC disparity to be a pretty common thing.

Oh, this is in SE PA.

When I started in 1996, I made 6.50 an hour. When I left CNA in 2002 I was making a little over 10. Now that it's 2008 when I get into CNA, I wonder how much I'll make :)
