How much money do CNAs make?
The answer to this question largely depends on where you work. Nursing assistant pay rates vary widely between states, and even between work environments. In Massachusetts, for example, an average starting CNA salary is in the neighborhood of $11-$12 hourly. Other states may have lower ($8.00) or higher ($14.00) starting rates. Nursing Assistant salaries used to be higher in a hospital environment than in a nursing home environment, however, this is no longer always the case. As with any job, your pay rate as a CNA will increase with experience. For more information about Nursing Assistant salaries and jobs in the U.S., visit Monster.
