California requires employers to publish a pay range with every posting. These are the ranges California hospitals put on their own certified nursing assistant postings, not survey estimates.
As of September 2026, 27 CNA postings from 4 California hospitals list an hourly range; the median posted midpoint is $31.17 per hour, the middle half of postings sits between $25.48 and $32.01, and the widest posted range runs $20.38 to $110.48. Figures come from employers' own job postings and refresh nightly.
