I have worked at Barnes for almost 3 years as a Tech, to my knowledge the new trainees are being hired at $9.85, but if you have CNA experience they offer more. THey are always hiring new techs. The weekend/night difference ranges from $1.10 to $1.85 more an hour and if you have completed your first semester of nursing school you receive an additional .98 an hour. When I applied, I had no experience, I only put that I was a nursing student (at the time, I hadn't even started) and they called me 2 weeks after I applied online. The recruiter is Cheryl D'Harlingue, so call HR and ask for her and tell her you are following up on your application. They are also one of the lowest paying hospitals. I have turned in my notice and you are welcome to apply for my job.
