CNA jobs in Fox Cities area? (Appleton, etc)

Hey guys, I've been considering moving back to WI to be near family and see if I stand a better chance of getting into a nursing program than I do here in OR. My concern is, "with this economy" as you keep hearing, about getting a good CNA job there? I am wondering what the average pay is for someone with approx 8 yrs caregiving (3 yrs CNA) experience. I currently work as a mental health tech in the emergency department of my local hospital and really enjoy it. I looked on a few local hospital websites and there didn't seem to be much in the way of CNA/CNA II level job postings.......

Thanks so much!
