CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant

Certified nursing assistant (CNA) positions are entry-level jobs in the nursing field. Oftentimes no prior healthcare work experience is required aside from the classroom and practice hours needed to complete a state-approved CNA training program. Working under the supervision of more senior registered nurses (RNs) or licensed practical nurses (LPNs), nursing assistants do not generally earn as high a salary as other nursing professions or other entry level healthcare options. However, becoming a certified nursing assistant is an excellent way to quickly enter the healthcare profession, provide important basic care to patients in need, and determine if a career in nursing is right for you.
The median annual wages for nursing assistants in the top industries in which they worked were:
  • Government organizations: $33,800
  • Hospitals: $30,050
  • Nursing care facilities: $27,840
  • Home healthcare services: $27,290
  • Continuing care retirement communities and assisted living facilities for the elderly: $27,200
