Hourly wages for certified nursing assistants (CNAs) rose 7.13% this year, according to a report from the Hospital & Healthcare Compensation Service. This increase is almost double the 4.76% boost in 2020.
LPNs and charge staff nurses also saw wage hikes of 4.82% and 4.27% respectively from 202o to 2021. Workers across job categories in some organizations saw their pay go up as much as 30% this year.
However, despite the wage growth, staff turnover jumped from 39.38% in 2020 to 59.95% so far in 2021.
