Current CNA Pay Range

Published

Can I have some insight on what Nursing Assistants currently make in 2016? If you could tell me what kind of facility you work in that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

I live in Arizona and work in a Rehab Hospital and started with no experience at $12.50.

I work in memory care in Washington state and make 11.50 an hour. .50 is for shift difference. -.- I'm honestly considering getting a different job. The pay is low for the area ($12 - $13, no experience is the norm.)

I work in LTC.

Since the pay varies so much according to the state you live in. Think of it this way.

If you work full time, in LTC anyway, you probably have enough (if you budget correctly)to pay your rent and have a decent car and a few other things.

You may not have extra to buy fancy things or go on big vacations.

The biggest bonus you will get from being a CNA before/during nursing school will be the experience you get, even if you work PT or per diem.
