In my short 10 months as a CNA, I've been offered many salaries. First I started looking into two home health agencies: one offered $8.50 an hour and the other $9.00. Another place was a group home for those with dev.disabilities & the salary was $6.50 an hour. Then I accepted a job at an assisted living facility for those with dementia & they offered my $11/hr. Then I accepted another job at an LTC for $13/hr, but the place is unionized so they take a percantage from your check. I had a job interview last week & they offered me a job & the pay was $11.40/hr with a dollar differential for 3-11 and $2/hr more on weekends. Today I had another interview,was offered the job and the base pay was $10.50/hr with a dollar differential for 3-11 & then $2/hr on weekends 3-11..so like $12.50 an hour. Tomorrow I have yet another interview!! I'll post the salary when they tell me lol :)
Try hospice or homehealth if you don't mind driving. They pay you for mileage and you donot have to stay in one place. They start you off with 14.00hr./hospice or homehealth/19.00/per pt.
i have done private care as a hospice aide. but most of the places around where i live (sutter medical) require a home health aide certificate, which i don't have i actually find hospice very rewarding (not to say it's not emotional)
