I just recently started a CNA job and they offered $8.71 starting pay. With shift differential I am making $10.21 which is still a HUGE joke!

Here in Ct Cna's make $9-$12 an hour without experience. The cost of living is so high we can barely make ends meet. LPN's make $20-$24 an hour plus shift differentials. Now that's pretty damn good.

hello I'm new here-but I am a CNA-have been since 2000. currently am studying for my BSN. But I had to comment here. In the area I live in many CNA's are lucky to make minimum wage. Maybe one or two places hire in at a bit more but not much. The highest I EVER made as a CNA was $8.00 an hour and thought I was lucky to get that. It all depends on where you live and what the cost of living is...
