Three jobs, one ladder: CNA, RN, CRNA
Health care in Florida has many entry points. A nursing assistant (CNA), a registered nurse (RN), and a nurse anesthetist (CRNA) sit on the same career ladder, but at very different pay levels. Here is what the government's own wage data says about each step.
What Florida pays at each step
- $37,510 — median pay for a nursing assistant (CNA) in Florida, according to BLS OES, May 2025. See the BLS page.
- $91,380 — median pay for a registered nurse (RN) in Miami–Fort Lauderdale, according to BLS OES, May 2025. See the BLS page.
- $210,570 — median pay for a nurse anesthetist (CRNA) in Florida, the top of the ladder, according to BLS OES, May 2025. See the BLS page.
These are medians from a government wage survey, not a promise of what any one person earns. Pay depends on employer, experience, and exact location. The RN figure above is for the Miami–Fort Lauderdale metro area only, not the whole state, so a different metro may show a different number.
What it takes to move up
Moving from CNA to RN, and from RN to CRNA, usually means more schooling and a higher license. The material we have does not list the exact courses, exam, or license name required for each step. Check with a nursing school, the state licensing board, or another qualified professional before you plan your next move.
What NurseJobsFL costs
NurseJobsFL is described as free, with no account needed. It also lists three paid plans: $9, $99, and $299. The material we have doesn't say what each plan includes beyond the price. Check the checkout page for exact features before you pay for anything.
What happens to what you paste in
The material we have doesn't mention any data storage, retention, or privacy policy for text you paste into NurseJobsFL. We can't confirm one way or the other. Check the site's own privacy policy directly before entering personal details.
What to do next
This page is not legal, medical, financial, or career advice. The free tool can read your own resume or a job posting and match it against Florida pay data like the numbers above, state by state and metro by metro. Try pasting in your own details, then confirm any license, salary, or plan details with the agency, school, or professional before you make a decision.
