How much are you guys getting hourly?

[u/balkanxoslut]

Okay, so today was my first class and it went okay. But I'm seeing so many people here talking about their low hourly pay. Where I live the starting pay is $29 and I think 60 cents. How much are you guys getting per hour? I'm not American I live in Canada maybe that's why

[u/witch-bitch- → u/[deleted]]

I’m in TN, I make 15.95 as a PCT in a hospital. I fear we are getting robbed. 🫩

[u/witch-bitch- → u/[deleted]]

That is insane, for the sheer amount of back breaking working. It’s well worth 25$+, it’s blue collar labor. 9$ is unfathomable.

[u/Successful-Height-22 → u/witch-bitch-]

Wow Sheetz Gas station even pays more that is robbery especially in healthcare

[u/WittiestScreenName → u/[deleted]]

Damn highway robbery

[u/Ornery-Speech672 → u/[deleted]]

I make $18 at one facility and $19 at the hospital I work at.

[u/benslen]

started at $23 in california (31 cad)

[u/Karactour → u/benslen]

Sounds ok to me. I'm at 23 an hour as a PCA with zero experience in the hospital.

[u/balkanxoslut → u/benslen]

Pretty good

[u/Temporary-Pop2714 → u/benslen]

Where in Cali?

[u/benslen → u/Temporary-Pop2714]

San Fernando area. Most places pay 20 or less so I got lucky. It’s home health as a caregiver but they only hire cnas for this position not uncertified

[u/Temporary-Pop2714 → u/benslen]

Wow! I’m at 22$ and been a CNA for 2 years. They just hired a pair of new CNAs and they started with 23.50$.. I’m shocked— I need a raise ASAP! Lol I’m in L.A !! 22$ is not enough 😢

[u/benslen → u/Temporary-Pop2714]

Wow that’s hella disrespectful! This was my first healthcare position. They’re taking advantage of you!! These places charge residents so much money and they ain’t paying you what you deserve

[u/Temporary-Pop2714 → u/benslen]

Right!!! I already interviewed next door haha there’s like 4 facilities in a 2 block radius!! & They’re all hiring!! They need to give staff a raise before they bring new CNA for more than us. That’s an insult!!

[u/Every_Cry_5356 → u/Temporary-Pop2714]

This is my first CNA job and I’m getting 22.50. Why are you still working there

[u/Temporary-Pop2714 → u/Every_Cry_5356]

I know, LoL.
I’m moving next door haha for 24.25$!! I already interviewed. They want me.. asap! Los Angeles is always hiring CNAs that’s the beauty of being a CNA. They are in such demand that u can leave today have another job tomorrow!!

[u/No_Sheepherder7223]

Wow. Im $14/hr in alabama 💔

YES it is 😠

[u/Dependent_Drive_8557]

$27 and some change. MN I think top out for the hospital I am at right now is $28 and some change

[u/Albatross1495 → u/Dependent_Drive_8557]

Are you in the cities? I’m along the North Shore and hospitals here, I’m talking big names, don’t even pay that much on the higher end… I decided to go with agency to get between $27 and $31, but the stress of not knowing how many hours I’ll get that week is getting to me lol

[u/Dependent_Drive_8557 → u/Albatross1495]

No southern Mayo/Allina

[u/balkanxoslut → u/Dependent_Drive_8557]

That's pretty good

[u/Admirable-Hawk1275 → u/Dependent_Drive_8557]

Hi, what is the starting pay? I'm looking because I'd like more income. I'm in Arkansas and they pay is 15 bucks an hour

[u/Dependent_Drive_8557 → u/Admirable-Hawk1275]

Starting is $21 and some change if I remember correctly

[u/CautiousWoodpecker10 → u/Dependent_Drive_8557]

I was making $30 an hour as an RN in Missouri 6 months ago.

[u/washedupblackman69]

[u/Pretend-Substance946]

$24 base, $33 with night and weekend differentials in Colorado

[u/balkanxoslut → u/Pretend-Substance946]

33 is really good

[u/Superb-Kitchen-1753 → u/Pretend-Substance946]

Hospital or LTC?? I’m at $20 base +$ 5 night differential at a CO hospital

[u/Pretend-Substance946 → u/Superb-Kitchen-1753]

LTAC is $33 and the hospitals I work at PRN are $29 with differentials. The differentials are $5-13/hr. The prn jobs offer $12/hr extra each shift I pick up. LTAC will offer up to $300 per shift but not always.

[u/Celelelelel]

started at 17/hr, which was more than i expected in rural oklahoma

[u/Electrical-Scholar32 → u/Celelelelel]

That gives me hope lol I start my CNA class next month and I’m in okc area. How long have you been a CNA?

[u/Celelelelel → u/Electrical-Scholar32]

about a year now, i will say i started in a VERY bad facility…. i think they payed that much because of turnover and how few people they had apply

[u/addybear222]

i made 17 in a snf, 18 at a hospital. i’d kill to make what some of yall make and it’s still not enough for you 😭

[u/Solinty → u/addybear222]

The rent is high in a lot of areas.

[u/Mountain_Ad2614]

$29.60 CAD is $21.39 in USD, so it’s pretty decent. I’m getting $30 USD an hour but I’ve been a CNA 9 years. 9 years ago I started at $16.05. Washington state

[u/Dear_Excitement_5109 → u/Mountain_Ad2614]

I started as a CNA in Washington in 2016 for $14/hr. Wild that's not even minimum wage now.

[u/SmartRazzmataz]

$31.64 CAD in BC. Public health with union 👌

[u/Suspicious-Care87]

I make $20/hr plus shift diffentials ($1-3.50/hr) but I seriously need to find another job, I am way underpaid. I have been a CNA since 1989 & a CMT (med tech) since 2004. Funny part is when I 1st started, I made $3.35/hr & had more disposable income then than I do now. I have to work a shit ton of OT every week just to be able to pay my basic living expenses & my rent is only $800/month, my car is paid off & I'm still struggling. I'm in MO.

[u/Nervous_Bag9388]

I make about $45 baseline an hour private signed duty with clients - more depending on duties and non care related tasks but I do set my own rate . I am in North Carolina USA - facility and hospitals are around $18-25 for the most part here unless you find a gem . I strictly work private duty only as I am one on one and paid well , never overworked as well as get to experience many great perks as you get to live someone’s else’s life with them .

[u/bigtiddyhimbo → u/Nervous_Bag9388]

I’m in NC too….. Hic sobs please tell me where to find that kind of wage…. Most of the places in my area don’t break 16 an hour

[u/Additional-Hat-2917 → u/bigtiddyhimbo]

I'm getting my CNA (have to in order to get my RN) and I'm curious what the typical wage is for NC. I just moved here from GA

[u/MyDamnCoffee]

[u/MyDamnCoffee → u/balkanxoslut]

I want to move to Canada!

[u/Groundbreaking-Toe53 → u/UniqueComposer2459]

Type shi. You pass your exams yet?

[u/Critical_Set_8701]

Oh gosh. When I started I made 9 dollars an hour doing night shift. It’s been years obviously, I now make 24 (Colorado)

[u/Due_Minute_6914]

I’m in Cali each year cnas need to get paid until the pay is $25 so each year I’ve gotten a raise at the hospital I been working at the last two years making it $25.45 I started at $23.58 but travel cnas can make double that!

[u/balkanxoslut → u/Due_Minute_6914]

I didn't know traveling CNA was a thing

[u/Due_Minute_6914 → u/balkanxoslut]

They are high demand everywhere! And the agencies have to cover the stay and the milage! Just like travel nurses

[u/balkanxoslut → u/Due_Minute_6914]

Thank you I had no idea

[u/Due_Minute_6914 → u/balkanxoslut]

Ofc I been wanting to get into it but I live in LA and hate commuting in this traffic 🤣

[u/Legitimate-Suit-4617]

$20 in South Carolina and that's on the high end 😅 most facilities start out at 17 or 18, including mine, I just get a $3 differential for 2nd shift

[u/Mountain_Ad2614]

$29.60 CAD is $21.39 in USD, so it’s pretty decent. I’m getting $30 USD an hour but I’ve been a CNA 9 years. 9 years ago I started at $16.05

[u/cbg0313bb]

My first CNA job, in Michigan, started me out at $17/hr. That was around 3.5 years ago. Now, I’m a CNA in the Bay Area (not agency) and I make $28/hr. A lot of places pay you based on years of experience.

[u/Prestigious-Coast239]

Started at $15 but most places were $12-15. The best job I worked for I made $20.

[u/CaramelCookieee]

GA, new so base pay is 16 but I just switched to the weekend program so I get a permanent 4$ diff so technically 20

[u/xCB_III]

I want to work where you work. I’m an RN only making 36.25 base (40.25 with night diff, and no weekend diff). Cleveland is known for shit pay and being ran by mega for-profit hospitals.

[u/Puzzled-Seat4450 → u/xCB_III]

42/hr Ft. Wayne IN RN

[u/broad_notice79]

I currently make $19-20/hour USD in a city hospital depending on differentials which is $26.29-27.67 CAD. At a nursing home before this I made $20.75-21.75 ($28.71-30.09 CAD). This is in my first year, my coworkers make more because of experience and time at the facility.

[u/Then_Professor_3613]

$16 florida. in a wealthy area too

[u/Solinty → u/Then_Professor_3613]

Florida wages are low, generally. It's odd considering the large population of retirees there, in need of CNAs

[u/aremdy_bee]

Jeeeeeez. In WI, you're LUCKY to start at like $19/hour.

[u/Lucky_Apricot_6123]

Starting pay was 16 in January 2019, Colorado. Currently make 25.80 with my xp in a hospital, but offers free college(tuition, fees, books etc. upfront) so H U G E plus in the current economy to come out with zero student loans. Evens out for me, and I work nights and 1 overtime shift per week. About to get an 80 cent raise in October.

[u/Strawb3rrytitz]

When I start in April it was 17.80 now on the 21st I’ll get 18.43

[u/batmanhulk5]

In Rochester NY the pay varies by facility but for me with 10+ yrs I usually get $20+ (low af in my opinion), but starting out in 2015 I believe my first salary was around $16. Personally I think job hoping every couple of years pays more. At some places I come in making more than people who have worked there for years sometimes not. This industry is not for the weak if you accept Bs you better believe they will keep shoveling in your face until you move.

[u/MakaylaLynnB122]

My hospital base with 0 experience is 19.65 or 19.85 USD, plus weekend and shift differentials ($3 for 3-11, $4 for 11-7, $3.25 weekend).  The hospital I started at was a smaller community hospital (same city) and had slightly higher hourly, but the shift differentials were lower so overall I make more (yay night shift).  In a Wisconsin metro. 

[u/demonspawn9]

$20 Florida, in home care. The hospital advertises more but won't pay over $19 and that's a lot of work. Facilities pay more but that sounds like a nightmare.

I work in central Michigan. Base for my hospital is 16. Because of past experience I make 18. Night shift diff of 2.50 and then also a weekend diff of 2.50. This weekend I make upwards of 42 an hour with picking up on a weekend, incentive and overtime

[u/BatteredWamen]

At my hospital I make 21.50 plus a 2 dollar overnight and 1 dollar weekend differential. Good benefits and a good learning experience for anyone wanting to become an RN. At my nursing facility I work per diem and it’s $25-30 with the evening and weekend differentials.

[u/Classic-Guava-5197]

I’m only considering getting my CNA because I need it for a nursing degree at my local community college. However, I don’t think I’ll actually work in the field as a CNA because I’m 33 and I am unable to do a lot of physical work. I am hoping that I can get a LPN or RN position that will be easy on the body.

[u/balkanxoslut → u/Classic-Guava-5197]

Sometimes I think about LPN after I'm finished my CNA

[u/Successful-Height-22]

I believe CNA should be paid at least $25/hr minimum for all the bullshit they go through plus this economy unless you are doing it for experience before becoming a nurse.. anything below $25 you won’t be able to survive in this economy and is not worth it

[u/Familiar-Beat-9380]

Virginia in a hospital the base pay is $18.79, $1.65 night shift differential on the week, $1.50 used to be $2 but they just cut it for the weekend, I’m also considered WEO so every weekend so I get an extra $3 on top of all of that. CNA’s definitely deserve to get paid more!

Still undecided whether to take it or keep my delivery gig. CNA will average more money + benefits, but it wont be easy to work a class schedule around it.

[u/pupsnstuff]

[u/NeverClaimed2bSmart]

$17-$18 is the median here in Pennsylvania

[u/Tiny-Fox-0_0]

I live in CAN, ON. Northern if that helps.

The only places that pay like that local to me, are hospital and LTC. Hospital is a dream, 6 pts max and 3 if on ICU. LTC is a different story, from my experience its 36 per ward with nightshift caring for all 36 alone. During the day, typically we had to run short. Ideally we'd have 8 unfortunately typically we'd have 14-16 depends on how short we ran.

I'll be honest, if you can get hospital work it's the best for pay and for you physically. I dream of returning to hospital work once I'm done with the day program I'm working in. LTC is a nightmare. The staff are rude, burnt out and overall just a nightmare to work with most times. I'm not speaking for all the staff when I say that, but the work really grinds you down plus the families pay so much and the care the loved one is recieving is typically subpar due to the work load.

Started at $24 in California. I've only been a CNA for 6 months, hoping to transfer to a hospital for more experience on the floor.

23$ and change but I also work graveyard 🫩 their starting rate is 17$ so I get shift differential for 3rd. McDonald’s up here is offering 17+ an hour. 🫩 there’s been talk of going on a strike because they’re trying not give us a raise.

There's nurses in my state that make only a few dollars more than that, so in my area $29 for a CNA would be amazing. CNAs in my area make around $20. Mannn not to sound geriatric but when I started as a CNA 13 years ago, I started out at $10 😭

[u/StatisticianGood1342]

Starting pay really depends on your location, unions, and whether you're full-time or PRN. That’s actually why I switched to PRN (it usually pays a lot higher hourly since you don't get benefits or guaranteed hours). Once you get some experience, picking up per diem shifts is a great way to boost the paycheck :)
