How Much Does a STUDENT NURSE TECH Make???

In the upstate it's generally $9-10/hr base pay.

I have worked as a nurse tech/cna at a small hospital while in nursing school and I make about $10.85 an hour but that is with all the shift diff. I make 8.62 base, 1.50 for third shift and .75 for second. Most hospitals and other places will pay you a weekend shift diff but this place does not. They only pay weekend shift diff for RNs which is why I'm leaving and going to another place after I test for my LPN which is in a few weeks depending on the application process. Some nursing homes will pay you more. I suggest that you only work part time if you are able. 24 hours a week is plenty. You will need the extra time for studying, careplans, ect. Good luck. I work in the upstate, Chester, SC, which is about an hour north of Columbia. Hope this helps. BB

I made $14 an hour as a Student PCT (Patient Care Tech) + differential

I am a Student Nurse Tech at Baptist. Starting pay is $9.30, but if you work weekends and/or nights, you get differentials. It's PRN, so they'll work with your schedule. Providence pays more ($11, I've heard), and the VA pays closer to $13.

I just got into nursing school and have some questions about Nurse Techs..

Do I have to have a CNA certificate? I don't, but really want to work as a tech while in school.

Also, how does one go about getting a job like this?

Thanks

After you've finished your fundamentals class, you can become a student nurse technician. You don't have to have a CNA certificate.

$9.30 at this Palmetto Health
$10+ at Providence
