After spending several hundred dollars (maybe more than 500 but less than 1000 dollars) and a few weeks (a month?) investing in a CNA certificate, how much can you expect to earn in different areas of the US? Does night shift pay more?

I just got hired in a NYC hospital at the rate of $17/hr for night shift which is awesome since I was making $8/hr at a LTC.

I checked the salary of PCTs (CNAs) at a university hospital here in Dallas and was surprised to learn that the top earners are bringing home $35-44k and that wasn't just for the "lifers" - there were people with start dates ranging from 1980s-2005.

I live in Massachusetts the LTC facilities start between 9.50-11 an hour. The hospital near me is 16.50 an hour (which is PCT, you need experience to work there).

How much experience do you need to work as PCT? Are they much more busier than LTC CNAs?
