C.N.A(certified nursing assistant)How much do they make an hour now a days?

It depends on where you work, how much you work, and the city and state.

You can make more money being a traveling nurse as well as working in a hospital rather than a nursing home. And if you did work in a hospital, if you work PRN status, you can make more that way too.

Anyway..here in GA, most CNAs at nursing homes make around 8-9, traveling makes 9-11 (depending on who you work for), and hospitals make around 11 too.

Don't know where cute girl works...but CNA's I know make 9.75-13.80hr depending on their experience, work ethic, and that is nursing home, home health aides, and hospitals.

It really depends on how much experience you have. I started out making 9.25 and hour. All I will say is, just make sure this is what you really want to do, because they work you like a SLAVE and you are NOT APPRECIATED. Also, you are exposed to a lot of disease. And most nurses will not tell you what you are dealing with because they know that if you don't do the work, THEY WILL HAVE TOO. I got out because of a TB scare. Two friends I worked with contracted it. Basically, the job consists of you doing the work that nobody really wants to do. I also have friends who sustained injuries (torn rotator cuffs, back injuries from lifting patients) Don't mean to be negative, just keepin it real. I wish someone had told me. I was trying something new, and it completely knocked the taste for it out of my mouth. Trust me, you will never be paid what you are worth being a CNA. If nursing is what you want, go to school to be a RN. They make all the money, CNA's do all the work.

It really depends on the city/state, the facility or job environment, the scope of duties required and the level of experience of the CNA.

In general, the national average low end is $20,000 or ~$9.60/hr and the high end is $29,000 or ~$13.94/hr.
