Here in Long Island, NY you can make up to $18.75 an hour. That's what my friend is making at a nursing home.

Thats right Miss. Our teacher even told us some start you at $20/hr.

Wow, I wish I was in Long Island lol!!! I'm about 3 hours away in NJ and have no clue what the rates are around here but my mother who is a home health aid told me around $8 and my sister in law who is an rn told me $12.

I got hired today without any previous work experience. I got certified as cna in jan 2010.

They offered me 10/hr with benefits:yeah:. Director also told me that if i will get certified as med. tech in next 3 months then they will pay me 12/hr:heartbeat. I am in texas.

Hi, I am a newly certified CNA.

I just got hired a week after I graduated :)

I heard a lot of rumors about pay during my training... from extremely low to extremely high. I can only work weekends on 3rd right now because of kids and my husband's schedule, and I was offered $13.50 to start with benefits (sick days, holidays, vacation after 6 months, and health/dental offered). I am pretty happy considering I'm only part time. Good Luck!

Where are you located? 10-12hr here in Florida, home health. CNA's pretty much start at that no matter where you go. Hospitals probably more.

I live in Connecticut. But I border Massachuetts and Rhode Island, 5 minute drive in either direction. Home health workers here get an average of $8-$9 per hour. The place where I went for my clinicals starting wage is $14.50, but they're not hiring right now- I'm happy with $13.50 plus benefits considering I'm only P/T and I'm brand new at this type of work. I am currently attending school 2 days a week for Patient Care Technician, which most hospitals in my area want before they hire you.. my ultimate goal is to work in a hospital setting :)

Maybe your cost of living is way different than W.P.B FL! My teacher says to me, at the most we "might" make 10/hr

Are you including shiff diff and waving the benefits? Thats real high.

I have seen job listings for CNAs at $18 an hour, but they were for private duty home care positions.

Specializes in pediatric.

I work at Children's Hospital, I don't know if 15 is standard for everyone. I started when I was a senior in nursing school, so I never received a CNA license. Also I stated on my resume that I am bilingual and CPR/AED certified- I don't know if that has anything to do with my pay... Good luck with the job search!
