Are there any CNA jobs with high pay rates?

[nlw59bba]

hello, i am a pre-nursing student. i will be getting my cna certificate in the fall. i wanted to know if there are any high paying cna jobs that i can look into while going to school. i want to quit my security job and get started in healthcare as a cna. i was wondering if i need to look at an agency, home healthcare or do they have traveling cna's. i want to be able to cover my bills and mortgage while in school and get the experience. i would appreciate it if someone could give me some insight on were to look and search in charlotte or gastonia. a co-worker of mine told me that he knew a cna who made $39k.:typing

reason for edit: cna's have a certificate, not license. cna's must work under an lpn's or rn's license.

Hey, I work in rhode island ive only been a cna for 6 months and am making 14 dollars an hour. Sorry to hear some of you are making less than what you deserve

Wow the times are a little different now. I'm a CNA in home health care and I make between $11.22 and $15.00 depending on the case. I actually make the least of my graduating class in california BUT the compromise is that I get the hours I want. I only work on the weekend while going to school full time. I have a friend who works at a hospital for $18 per hour and my other friend at a nursing home makes $16 per hour. I hope everything worked out for you!

Where do you work? I'm trying to find a CNA job while I'm in nursing school. I will have to probably quit my full time job because the hours won't be flexible. Thanks for your input!
