Nursing Students Technicians

I plan to work as a PCA while competing my pre-nursing classes. What is the average starting wage for PCAs in your area? Anybody know what the average pay in NJ is?
Thank you!

I'm in NJ. With a year experience, one major hospital offered me $11.90. The place I'm working at actually pays a few dollars more, but it's not acute care.

My hospital starts at $11.21 plus $1.50 night and $1.75 weekend shift differential for a PCA. I might have switched the shift diffs but one is definitely $1.50 and the other $1.75. Overtime is time and a half and holidays are double time!
Edit: Central Ohio!
