CNA pay?

It really depends on where you work and how much experience you have, you will definitely make more in a hospital then in a care facility. I was only making $9.00 an hour at a care facility and now I am over $16.00 at the hospital I work at, but I do have 10yrs of experience. So you have to factor that in as well. Good Luck!!

I'm making $19 in a hospital but I've been there 10 yrs. I think they start out about $12.50/hr but there's also shift differentials whereas LTC doesn't have diffs. They may also start you out higher if you have previous hospital experience.

I work in a hospital and I make about $16/hr with 6 years experience and 4 years at the hospital.

Thanks for getting back to me everyone, I only have 9 months experience working in a hospital. But that would just start me out at the 12.50/hr, which is fine with me.

I'm a recent CNA (less than 6 months certified) and make $13.00 at a home health agency-- Home agencies pay no overtime and the hours fluctuate. I could average 40+ a week, if I choose.

Some of the other grads from my CNA class are making $11- $12.50 in LTC. They get OT for 40+ in a week and can work lotsa hours.

I've been offered a CNA agency job at $15.00 but haven't taken it because I have scheduling conflicts (I travel out of town to teach)..... With multi-year experience, the agencies are offering $16-17 for CNAs... But as you may know agency work can be very challenging.

Generally I've noticed east county (east Portland, Gresham) LTC offer $10 - 11 to start.... the west side LTC facilities offer $12-13 to start....

You can find what hospitals offer by looking at their job offerings. OHSU, Legacy, Kaiser, Providence post their pay ranges for all to see.

Hope this helps...
