Nurses Aides in Massachusetts, as certified nursing assistants are called, are needed in hospitals, doctors offices, nursing homes, assisted living facilties, home care agencies and private homes.

The certified nursing assistant training is in demand as many need to get work quickly because they have lost their jobs and cannot afford to go without working very long. It is also a way to have income while attending college for a health care field such as the Massachusetts Dental Hygiene training program, Massachusetts Diagnostic Medical Sonographer training program, Massachusetts Surgical Technician training program and more.

You can expect to be paid anywhere from $10-$15 per hour or more as a nurses aide in Boston. If you live in Townsend or or Acushnet, you probably won’t make as much money as you would in Marlbourough or Lowell. You will make more money working for a Skilled Rehabilitation facility through a temp agency than working for a nursing home.

The work involves constant one on one attention and you will need to be patient and willing to assist in all activities of daily living such as eating, bathing, dressing, transferring and other duties.
