My Cna salary in private facilities vs Government facilities

[@SSmith-sx3ff]

Seriously, CNA's really do the grunt of the work and the dirty work that the nurses REFUSE to do. I feel they should make no less than $15.00 in home health care and start off with at least $20.00 in a facility. It would be sweet if legislation could be passed to allow this.

[@kiearacelina]

100% agree!

[@__________________________7455]

No, don't agree with you. Nurses are not refusing to do your work. However, they can't do yours and get theirs done too. Also, the CNA, can't legally do anything that outside their scope of practice, so they can't reciprocate and help the nurse with any of her work. Most CNAs spend one month in the classroom. The more time you go to school in the nursing field, the more money you will make. It's unrealistic to think your pay should be up there at a licensed nurses level. Stop belly aching , and go to nursing school. I have met very few CNAs, that would not be capable of becoming nurses. I have worked as both a CNA and a nurse. Both are hard work. CNA, is hard, mostly physical, direct hands on care . Did you not know that before you took the class ? No employer hires nurses and pays them more to do the job, you were hired for. Know that we all are responsible for answering lights. A nurse can do what is needed while in the room, but if it is not urgent, as a nurse a judgement call is made whether or not time allows, or to ask the CNA , to do it.

[@__________________________7455]

Why don't all of us make more money, regardless of title ? The real truth is you need to be aware if you work in a Medicare funded facility, that is how Medicare residents, pay for their care. Medicare pays low reimbursement rates and they are slow . This is why salaries are so low in Medicare facilities. Hospitals, government, nonprofits pay better.

[@SSmith-sx3ff]

Bea Co --Thank you for your commentary. FYI I am a nurse. While I understand your point, I think you totally missed mine. You state you were a cna and yet you don't sound like you truly understand their plight. Where I live no nurse starts at $15-$20/hr as I suggested they should pay cna's. No one is asking anyone to reciprocate anything. Yes we understand the scope of practice. I am just not one of those nurses that will allow my patients to wait for a cna when I can do it for them myself because "that's not my job, that's the cna's job!"

[@CalmVibesVee]

I would say most of my Nurses help with everything when they can. I even have a few that ask me occasionally if they can help me with anything. I work in a surgical hospital and work inpatient. Ratio is 6:1. Very thankful to God for this type of lifework.

I live in Brooklyn NY and I make $21.54/HR. I've been at my job going on 12 yrs in May 2020 if God spares my life. I literally live 3 short blocks from my job so that saves me money on car fare and other expenses. I thought about leaving my job because it can be redundant and my supervisor is a PITA ( Pain in the ass 😂). But I figure I would be a damn fool to leave where I'm at. I'm 49 yrs old and I'm not getting any younger. So I'll just stick it out. Plus I would not be making what I am now at a new facility minimum wage in nyc is 15/HR and I'll be damn if I'll demote myself to that wage not after 12 yrs experience. But thanks for sharing Key👍

I think the state really matters sometimes. My sister lives in NC.she been a CNA with 8hrs experience but is making less than me with only 3years experience. Seriously th need to do something about CNA's salary.its sad how somebody can get paid that low for all we do.😔

[@veryvanessa]

That’s crazy how much of a pay difference there is depending on where you live. I’ve been offered as low as $18/hr as an RN in Florida.

[@kiearacelina]

WHAT?? As an Rn? Thats insane!! The salaries in Canada seem to be a bit higher than the ones in a lot of states.The starting salary here for an Rn is about 30-35$ and hour and for an Lpn it’s about 25-30$ and hour,you can make more depending on where you work as well but that’s usually the norm.

[@mayperez1420]

Move to NYC. The pay is very good for RNs

[@veryvanessa]

Yes! I think it was that particular company that tried it! I believe the starting pay in Florida is $24 or $25 as an RN with no experience

[@veryvanessa]

For LPNs the starting pay is $16 or $17 and CNAs $10

[@kiearacelina]

My godness,thats a hudge difference.I would not work as a cna if i was making 10$ an hour,cna's work way too hard for that kind of rubbish.

Thank you ☺️

[@iyahguevarra7610]

Here in Alberta Canada, $19.00 is the starting wage for a CNA... $24.00-$27.00 for LPN and $34.00-$40+ for RN... A $15.00 is just a minimum wage for other jobs such as Walmart etc.. i guess it really depends on States/Provinces.

[@kiearacelina]

Exactly! In Quebec a Cna salary can vary from 12-20$ depending on where you work,LPN 22-26$ and an rn 30-40$ depending on the degree they hold.So yes what province you live in makes a big difference .

[@Paul-ft9dn]

hospital cnas make a lot more money where I live. Average nursing home where i live pays about 14-15 base pay +1 dollar for 2nd or 3rd shift +1 dollar for weekends +2 dollars for any non regular shift. the local hopital is like 19 an hour at least for 2nd or 3rd shift anyways and +3 dollars on weekend and they can move up and make well over 20 an hour. Rent for a one bedroom is like 700 a month though w/o heat and electric so not super cheap cost of living but not horrible I guess. All the facilities are private.

[@kiearacelina]

Where I live,most nursing homes don’t give you any extra money for working nights or evenings,everyone gets the same pay and 14$ -15$ is probably the most you’ll make in a nursing home here.Hospitals on the other hand do pay more for nights and evening where I live.Most apartments where I live are all inclusive so you get your rent,heat,water for one price and it’s usually about 600-700$ for a pretty decent 1 or sometimes 2 bedroom apartment.

[@kiearacelina]

Well personally I don’t think working as a cna will help you much with becoming a MD or P.A. but it will be good for you to work in a medical environment so you can get a feel of what it’s like so you can chose whether you want to become a nurse or a doctor. Best of luck !

[@jjbowman4653]

If you don’t understand taxes find a good income tax calculator and it usually shows what federal and provincial tax is and what percent you pay in taxes compared to the percent you take home. The tax percentage gets larger when your pay increase past a certain amount, but stays the same within barriers so your take home is more within the same bracket but less at the start of a new bracket

[@isachan834]

That's a good leap though, i worked in a preschool for 4 years and the maxed i got paid 14 the hour, I'm starting CNA next year.

[@susanjune5649]

That's good money compared to how much we earn over hear in kenya

[@Bovias]

In Alabama we start out anywhere from $8-9.07 an hr which sucks especially since they expect so much from us.

[@Nikaplustwo]

Clubfoot Mom sounds like home health aide in the state of OHIO

[@Bovias]

Home health starts out at $7.25 (minimum wage). This is why I have chose to further my education because you can not survive on those wages.

[@d.s.d69]

In Texas as a CNA working in the hospital CNA makes less then 15.00 being fulltime, if your a PRN you make 15.00 less hours

[@shanittathompson2039]

Cna...LTC in Pennsylvania I make 17 and some change as a starting wage at my facility.

[@tiybraithwaite]

Girl!!!!! What state do you live in because I'm packing my bags? I know that Is also a factor. Cnas where I'm at start out with like 10-11.

[@kiearacelina]

I live in Canada 😊 and yea I heard that the Cna’s in the states don’t make a lot at all and it’s quite sad tbh 😩

[@tonyajennings5965]

Yes I move to Atlanta and the pay is shameful for cna’s ...forget working in Nursing homes and home health....

what's the best way to find govt owned facilities

[@Frank087]

Damn. I made more than that entry level retail. The drawback is my hours were slashed down to 4 every 3 weeks. I assume the hours as CNA are substantially better

[@vt-yp7yq]

Great video and no we do not do volunteer work.

[@kiearacelina]

Thank you 😊

[@rachray83]

On that public CNA check did u work a full 80 hours? Your take home was less than my Medicare CSR check at under $14 an hr, with health and dental insurance, taxes, 401k, and life insurance coming out

[@kiearacelina]

rachray83 Yes I was working 40 hours a week and sometimes I did doubles + it was not a public facility it was private And we had no benefits.

[@madamshay749]

But what is considered a government facility?

[@kiearacelina]

They’re public facilities funded by the government.

[@Babylamb1204]

All this who works harder talk is ridiculous in the comment section. Being a nurse in general CNA to damn ARNP is hard work and I wouldn’t sit up here and downplay anyone’s experience. Unfortunately every work environment isn’t going to be perfect for any nurse . Some CNAs get lucky and have a nurse who’s willing to help out and don’t believe their too good to change a patient diaper ever now and then. The bottom line end of the day we all got important jobs to do to help take care of people and it’s best we all try to understand each other’s roles and work together.

[@sosas1118]

I graduated high school and got my cna as well I applied for a few nursing facility’s and hospital but never got anything back and called and they said they need someone with more experience.. but the only experience I got was the 47 hours in order to get my cna .. I live in nc also

[@kiearacelina]

I haaaate when they say that.I got that same response a couple of times but all I can tell you to do is to keep applying.Apply online,indeed is what I use and you will get a job eventually.It may take some time but keep trying.Best of luck !

[@shelostit8008]

You can start off working with a private or non-profit organization. Like maybe Autism Society of NC or you can be hired by someone you know who can pay you as a CNA.

[@amynoel7060]

I think it depends on where you live also. I know in FL CNA earns between 9-11/hr. They earn raises SLOWLY at least from what I know. What state are you in if you don't mind me asking.

[@kiearacelina]

Amy Noel That is true. When it comes to salary, location plays a big role in how much you’ll earn. As for where I’m from, i mentioned in the video that I live in Canada 😊

[@roselinesbeauty2368]

I really love this video. Please how is the Applications for the Government facilities done?.

[@Jakayla5645]

Thanks girl, very informative. How old were u when you began CNA training?

[@kiearacelina]

Thank you for your comment and I never went to Cna school,I can work as a Cna because I am a nursing student but I started working as a Cna about 8 months ago and at the time I was 20 years old .

[@glorialstory]

It so hard to get in with the government as a CNA. Any advice on how to get in?

[@gold-in-melanin7488]

People are full of BS when they say it's not about the money especially the ones who use that to make employees think they should accept being paid below th heir worth! They don't tell that to the clients when they are expecting to get paid a certain amount!

[@kiearacelina]

It’s honestly ridiculous,i do agree that it’s not all about the money but I definitely know that I’m not going to school then going to work and breaking my back,doing all the work other people don’t want to do only to get paid minimum wage,it’s ok to know your worth and know what you want, it’s also ok to not be afraid to let employers know what you want.We don’t go into nursing to suffer and struggle in life,I’m only 21 and I refuse to settle for less.Thanks for your comment,I totally agree with you.
