Wages around the country?

[paffsc]

:nuke:I was wondering what CNAs in other parts of the country make.

The hospital I work for is starting this year's evaluation process. It is yet again a new process. I was told that they will be researching the wages of several positions to see how they compare. We may see some pay increases depending on what is found. I thought I would do some of my own research, just to see what I could find out. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone familiar with East TN wages?

I'm thinking it's probably on the lower end...

Wisconsin, at a hospital, no experience:

Title salary: $10.45

3rd shift differential on weekdays: $2.00 extra

3rd shift differential on weekends: $3.15 extra

+ benefits

And since I already have to deal with the snow/humidity, I'm thinking I'd better move to Chicago too! :)

Working at a hospital in So Cal the base pay is $11.00/hour. I've heard Kaiser starts at $15.00 though, as long as you have six months experience.

I live in a small town in Washington...I make 10.00/hr with evening shift differential...9.76/hr when I work days and 10.25/hr when I work nights...The cost of living is low compared the coastal part of the state though...A 2 bedroom goes for 600/month.

I like http://mysalary.com do Tools -> Salary wizard. No need to join first time. Search on CNA and your prospective zip code. The ranges are broken out by CNA, CNA in a nursing home, CNA in a LTC facility, etc. Click one, hit the back button. Look again. Search again. Good stuff. It certainly fits with what's been my experience and most of the posters in the thread.

Try http://mysalary.com It alows searching by job title (CNA, LPN, etc.) and zip code. Then results are broken out by, e.g., CNA in a Nursing Home, CNA in LTC, etc. and with benefits listed seperately. Click Tools => Salary Wizard. No need to register but you might want to register later. Good stuff.
