This article goes into the salary and payscale structure for travelling CNA’s. A travelling CNA generally refers to a CNA who travels to the home of clients (much like a traveling nurse). Sometimes travelling CNA refers to certified nursing assistants who travel to more than one healthcare facility in their area to provide services. The duties of a travelling CNA are much like the duties of every other nursing assistant.
Some nursing assistants like to work as a travelling CNA. They have the opportunity to work in more than one setting. They get to interact with multiple patients and clients. The day is never likely to get boring. Some travelling CNAs get to work in more than one location in the same day, which helps the day to go faster. A travelling CNA has a chance to make a difference in the lives of many people.
A travelling nursing assistant will often make more money than a CNA who works in a single location. The nursing assistant is compensated for the fact that he or she must travel to more than one place for work during the day or week. He or she is also paid more income since they need to balance the care of patients in more than one location.
Some travelling nursing care agencies also pay their CNAs some mileage fees to cover the cost of their travels from one location to another. They might be compensated in some way for the time that they spend traveling to and from the homes of clients each day for work.
On average, a travelling CNA will make $25,000-30,000 per year. This is about $13-$15 per hour for a 40 hour workweek. Many nursing assistants who are not travelling CNAs start out making $10 or $11 per hour. Some nursing assistants will make even more money working for a travelling agency.
A travelling CNAs salary can depend on many factors. Some travelling agencies pay more than others. A certified nursing assistant is likely to earn more money with more years of experience. The number of patients that a travelling nurse sees each day or each week can have an impact on the salary.
It is often possible for a travelling CNA to get in overtime hours. This is especially true for CNAs with multiple clients (in the home health setting). If a travelling CNA works overtime, their earning potential increases even more. The amount will depend on the rate for overtime (whether it is straight time or whether the individual is paid 1 ½ times or more their regular salary. Individuals who are ill need care 365 days per year. Travelling nursing assistants often need to work on holidays which can provide the potential to receive additional pay as well.
Some travelling CNA agencies provide benefits for their nursing assistants as part of their salary package. These benefits might include things like paid time off, life insurance benefits, retirement accounts or even health insurance benefits. Certified nursing assistants who do not receive these benefits will often earn a little bit of a higher salary to compensate for the fact that they do not receive benefits.
