    Varies from area in IL. Chicago pays more. CNAs in nursing homes in central IL can make $12/hr depending on shift.

    most of the "nurses" in drs offices in my area (northwest burbs) are actually medical assistants. cnas work in the hospitals as pct techs for about $15.

    ...What is a level 2 CNA? Never heard of that before, so I guess I am a level 1 and I have a hospital job.

    I am studying to be a medical assistant but I was wondering maybe I should change it to CNA. The school Im going to is a very fast pace school and Im having trouble and they don't seem to care any recommendations on what to do?

    The way it seems to work in NW IL is that new CNAs usually have to start off at a LTC facility. They can make anywhere from min. wage to about $12. Once you have at least 1 yr experience at LTC the hopspitals will actually look at your application and you can make anywhere from $12-16 depending - as a PCT I. Then they further train you to become a PCT II.

    Doctor's offices usually hire MA or CMA and pay $14-18, depending on if you do phlebotomy.

    In my opinion, MA or CMA, have easier work & better hours but CNA can be a stepping stone to Nursing if that is what you're interested in.
