CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

Published

I have a couple interviews for PCT positions, but I have no idea what to expect as a salary. I am a student nurse in NE FL. Please tell me where you live, your experience, and how much you make. I know I will probably have to take a pay cut, but to be doing what I am going to school for will be worth it, I think. Thanks for you help!

Specializes in Neuro/ MS.

I'm a mst/pca in Columbus ohio. I ve been on the job for 3 years 11.20/hr prn.

I worked in LTC making $21.50 an hour plus 10% instead of benefits. I hated it and took a pay cut as a pych tech. Now I get 18.36 an hour plus 10% instead of benefits. I cannot imagine doing this work for 9 busks an hour. I worked at starbucks and made that and it was way less stress. Vancouver is a pricey place to live so salaries are higher than a place like Iowa. An RN starts out at almost $30 an hour base salary here for compasison.

Specializes in ER, progressive care.

I used to work as a PCNA (patient care nursing assistant) and also a NT (nurse tech).

Northeastern Ohio

PCNA: $11.50/hour + $1 shift differential. PRN, no benefits. If you worked part-time or full-time your pay was lower but you would get benefits.

NT: $10.77/hr + $0.50 shift differential. All NT's were hired on a PRN basis, no benefits. By the time I resigned (because I was relocating) I was making $11.27/hr.

PCTs/CNAs are tremendously important in healthcare... I respect my CENAs, they are my eyes and ears.

You are ALL underpaid.. But I at least hope most of you are appreciated.:redpinkhe

The CNA's at our LTC make barely over min wage.

They are highly underpaid, and extremely overworked... and they wonder why we can't keep the good ones!
