A Poll of actual CNA wages in the U. S. working directly at the bedside

Wow, people get paid alot for CNA. I'm a PCA/US and have a base of $7.38/hr. There is no way to afford an apt in this town at that rate unless you work alot of OT or get another job.

Hi..here in SW Florida I do agency work as an in-home aide. My base pay is $10 per hour, but with short hour shifts paying more per hour, it works out that I actually earn about $12.50. Oh, and thanks to everyone who helped me with my Texas catheter problem recently.

in maryland cna's make anywhere from 8.00-16.00 depending on experience

In Las Vegas, CNA's make $11 per hour. Nursing homes, maybe $10 per hour. The agencies will pay you anywhere from $10-$17 per hour. You choose.

I work at a nonprofit LTC in Houston and make $6.90/hr. At hospitals, pay is about $10/hr. I've been trying for months to get a hospital job, but with no luck whatsoever.

I live in Denver Co does anyone know what start out pay is?

The place I work the ward secretaries rake in more than the CNAs??!!

Central CA - I started at $9.24 / hr, and got a raise to $9.71 / month after I got my licence.

However, with dingy rooms-for-rent going for $600 - 700 / month... it's not enough.

$9-11 in San diego

At my nursing home in Ohio I started out @ $10.25/hr three years ago and now make $11.30/hr. My friend only started out just above $9/hr three years ago. My cousin has been an aide for less than a year and started out @ $11.30/hr just out of school at my job. So I would have to say for Ohio its $9-$11.
