I'm working in a LTC facility outside Tulsa, OK for $8/hour. After a 90-day probationary period there is supposed to be a ($0.25??) raise.

Hospitals around here pay just over $9, I think, plus shift differential.

I'm a CNA at an LTC facility in New Mexico. I've been working there for two years, and I get $9.27/hr. Definitely not worth it to me. The nurses treat you like crap, you do a lot of hard work and heavy lifting (I'm 24 weeks pregnant) and the residents are rude a lot. There are quite a few that are physically abusive. I've been bitten, clawed until my arm was bloody, dragged around by my hair, punched, kicked, spit on, and slapped. Granted, most of these injuries came from working in the Alzheimer's unit, and were the result of a nurse telling us to make a person receive care that was adamantly refusing it, but still.... they don't pay us enough for this crap.

NM CNA, reading through your posts tonight, I have to wonder why you do this job. Your posts are pretty negative for the most part. Maybe you're just burned out? Not all places are bad. Maybe you have found one that is and lord knows where I am is not perfect by far but I would be working at McDonalds for the same money if I disliked this so much.

I worked in a home for 6 developmentally disabled adults for several months (in San Diego area) and started at $10/hr. It went up to 11/hr after 2 weeks of "shadowing"...no benefits and depended on experience. I know the hospitals require more experience and would assume they pay more from what I have heard from others.

[eveningsky339, LPN]

Nursing homes in the area start at 8.25/hr for day shift, +.50/hr evenings and 1.00/hour nights. So basically, unless you worked nights, you could make more working at McDonald's.

Our little hospital is starting me at 9.36/hr for day shift, but it's a 12 hour shift.
