how much do you make as a cna including experence-15.56 3 years work for a goverment owned facility raises- none on a pay freeze for 2 years just want to know what my possible options could be as a cna, in the future and different fields of cna/med tech or option i could have without having to go to school only training or certification fields?

we have cna med techs here that start at about what i am making and then go up to 21+. there are not many paths for cna as in nursing such as er,picu,icu etc etc. some options though are if you work in a hospital rather than nursing homes. hospitals may have a cna on a med surg or in the er which would probably be more exciting than what i do and may even pay more not sure. and they may train you so that you could help out more on the floor for instance at my place cna may do colostomy changes(wafer and bag) and can setup tube feeder machine such as seting the rates, connecting-disconnecting, and more.

I make roughly 9.75 hourly at a ltc nursing center. If you work a weekend you aren't scheduled you get a 25$ bonus and an extra .25 an hour.
