A Tip When Hiring a Facility Administrator or Director

"Filling in an Administrator or Director of Nursing vacancy with an “interim professional” gives the facility time to search for the right candidate, not the first candidate"

Salaries jump for CNAs

Nurse aides have risen out of the "Bottom 20" of hourly wage earners in the country, according to new government statistics.

Between 1997 and 2005, nursing aides, orderlies and attendants saw a 31% bump in their average hourly earnings - from $8.23 to $10.77 per hour, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. This puts them at 392 out of 418 occupations, or 26 from the bottom.

In 2005, aides were among the absolute lowest earning occupations, which ranged from $4.71 per hour for wait staff to $10.05 per hour for agricultural products inspectors, vehicle washers and equipment cleaners.
