How much money do CNAs in your area make?

I am in a program sponsored by my local hospital where I will eventally be licensed as an EMT, a CNA, and have college credits from a class called Body Structure and Function. Everything is paid for (including state and national tests) by the hospital. In September, when the small class of 7 is finished, we will all be hired as CNAs to work in the hospital. Also, if we wish to go to college and further our education, the hospital will pay for everything in exchange for one year of work at the hospital for each year they fund our further education.

My question is for CNAs in various states and regions in the U.S. What do you get paid per hour where you work, either in a retirement facility, a skilled nursing home, or a hospital setting? I'm asking for research and comparative purposes. I'm curious as to how much CNAs are paid throughout the United States, specifically in larger cities. I live in a small town of only about 8,000 people.

Thanks!
