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.

I worked at a LTC that was union and the pay was $16.92 per hour per diem (means that you get no bennies except retirement). That place was the exception and was county run. I have no idea what the other places were offerring. When I worked in hospital, I was making $11.50 per hr.

I had at least 8 yrs experience at the time, but none in ltc.
