I make 12.78 and shift differential at A SNF in the Sacramento area. I get union dues taken out of my check though so it almost even outs to less lol. I also am a new CNA like 6 months experience in the type of work

I am an NAR haven't been certified yet and I make $9.50 an hour at an AFH. Of everyone working there, even the owner, only one caregiver is a CNA the rest are like me registered but not certified. The resident manager gets 11$ an hour cause she's has more responsibility. I live in Spokane, Washington btw.

I would look for job postings on employment websites. Often they list the pay rates. You will also get an idea where to go first for work.

$8.60 an hour, hospital in Louisiana. And that's for night shift. Day shift is only $7.97 an hour. A crying shame, really.
