CNA Jobs in Pennsylvania: How to Find the Best Certified Nursing Assistant Positions Near You
Certified Nursing Assistants are the backbone of patient care in Pennsylvania’s hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and long-term care centers. If you’re a CNA in PA looking for a new position — or a new graduate just starting your job search — this guide will help you understand your options, know your worth, and find the right placement.
CNA Job Demand in Pennsylvania Is Strong
Pennsylvania’s aging population means demand for CNAs is outpacing supply in nearly every market across the state. Healthcare facilities in Reading, Lancaster, York, Harrisburg, Lebanon, and Chester County are actively recruiting CNAs for both per diem and permanent positions. If you’re a credentialed CNA with some experience, you’re in a strong negotiating position.
Types of CNA Jobs Available in PA
Per Diem CNA Positions
Per diem CNA work is ideal if you want scheduling flexibility. You select the shifts you want, work at a variety of facilities, and earn competitive daily rates. Many CNAs use per diem work to supplement a part-time position or to explore different care settings before committing to a permanent role.
Full-Time CNA Positions
Full-time CNA jobs in Pennsylvania offer consistent income, benefits, and career stability. ProStat works with healthcare facilities across Eastern and Central PA to place CNAs in permanent roles that match their clinical experience, preferred shift times, and geographic preferences.
Temp-to-Perm CNA Placements
Not sure if a facility is the right long-term fit? Temp-to-perm placements let you work at a facility temporarily and transition to permanent employment when both you and the employer are confident it’s the right match.
What CNAs Earn in Pennsylvania
CNA pay rates in Pennsylvania vary by region, setting, and experience level. Per diem CNAs typically earn premium hourly rates that exceed those of staff CNAs to compensate for schedule variability. Facilities in higher-demand markets like Reading’s hospital system or Chester County’s growing outpatient network often offer the most competitive rates. ProStat recruits will discuss current market rates with you when you apply.
