Hi

23.50 per hour at the hospital been there 3 months... Long term health facility 15.00 per hour

Where are you from? I have never known of a CNA to make that much, not even working for agency.

I think the posters who said they make 21 and 23 plus dollars are referring to an RN's salary or at least an LPN, but definitely not a CNA. Carefully read the question people before you decide to post...:bugeyes:

I agree, I have never heard of a CNA making that much money, not event working for agebcy or home health.

Maybe they live in a state where the cost of living is very high (california, new york, massachusetts,etc..). It might sound like a lot, but when the state tax/ property tax/etc is factored in, its not that much. Plus you have to factor in how many years the poster has been @ their job. One of my friends works as a tech at an area hospital, and make 19.50/hr..she's been there 7 years.
