current CNA pay 2015

Published

Hi,

I'm very curious what's the current CNA pay in your area? I just accepted a position where I make $15 on weekends and $12 base pay. I found that extremely rare since I never made that much as a CNA. In my area, the norm is $9.50 to maybe $12 as the high in Tampa Bay.

I am in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas. CNAs at my workplace (a specialty hospital) start at $12 hourly. CNAs at the local nursing homes typically start out in the $10 to $11 range per hour.

When I started it was $13/hr but the staffing was incredibly short so they raised it

Currently I am making $17.27 here in the phoenix area. Started at $15.35 a little over 3 years ago.

I think it varies because I was working at a Banner facility and after almost 12 years there I left earning only $14/hour.

I'm in Dallas and I started out at 11.89 over a year ago, they've been progressively increasing the "minimum" pay for CNAs at our company and now I make $12.10
