unfortunately in our area of iowa, cna's only make about $7 an hour to start, and i believe that is without any experience. I feel that this is a totally unacceptable wage, considering all that they do,
But then in the same area nurses don't get paid great either, I feel that many places don't fully appreciate nurses aides.
In NY, the nurses aides get bad money.
it depends if they work in the LTC's or the hosptials.... LTC=$16.00/hr, Hospital=$13.00/hr
(reason I said bad money, is that you need to make about 17 an hour to afford a small 1 bedroom apt in NYC... any part(well... at 17/hr, the bad parts). I barely make that much as an LPN.)

I would like to know who is getting $35.01 or greater and hour as a CNA...if that, what are your nurses making? Is your place highering?:chuckle
My friend, who has experience as and EMT and is an LVN student just got higher in med/surg as a CNA for $13.76, but says most start out at $12.00 (I think its $10 at rest-homes)

To get an overall basic view of salaries in the United States as well as a rough average of salaries please take part.
This is for nursing assistants who perform the duties as outlined by many clinical based hospital or nursing home educational based programs.
This poll is also not meant to be used as way to say I really do not have it so bad and in someway cause contentment.
