Hi there....I am a CNA. I am looking to find where the high paying jobs are at in ma. I love what i do and enjoy it but I think cna's deserve to get paid fot all the work they do. I know of one agency that pays their cna's $17 an hour but they are not hiring right now. Anyone know of any other agencies, hospitals, homes, etc. that pay good???
TO OTHER PCA'S, CNA'S, HHA'S: WHAT IS THE AVERAGE PAY YOU GET OUT THERE AND WHAT IND OF FACILITY TO YOU WORK IN?
answers are very much appreciated! :)

Prior to becoming a nursing assistant I was an anesthesia tech- so when I transferred I stayed at my rate, which was high for a NA. I work in a community hospital on the North Shore and I don't feel comfortable posting wha tI make, but it is very good. If you stay at one place-usually a hospital, long enough you can make good money.

The best CNA pay rates that I have noticed over the years were offered by individuals for private duty home care, typically the employer lives in the wealthy area of town.

MGH offers $12.50/hr..... surrounding community hospitals offer $11/hr with a differential that can get you to $19.50/hr (weekend nights). Like any job, the more experience you have the more you will get paid.
