Re: CNA hourly pay rate?
I think it depends on where you live. I am in the Phoenix area of Arizona. I am going through clinicals right now and taking my state boards next week to be certified. I was told by my instructor and my school to not accept anything less than $12 an hour. Than again, cost of living is out of the roof out here.
When I fill out applications, and it says the desired rate of pay, I usually put "open" or "negotiable" and let the interview run to see how you can best go about telling the employer what you want in pay.
Hope that helps!
