The wage on the table is the nursing-assistant series in this metro's May 2025 BLS wage data.

How hard this is to fill
For one manager
You are filling one shift on one unit or one home-health caseload, not staffing a health system. The aide you want can pick up hours down the hall or at the building across the street.
Ask whether they finished a state-approved program and whether they are on the registry this setting uses. A nursing home that bills Medicare or Medicaid does not get to skip that. A hospital may be on a different rule.
License and training
Nursing homes in Medicare or Medicaid use aides from a state-approved program who are on the state registry. The federal floor is at least 75 clock hours, with at least 16 of those hours supervised by an RN or LPN. States may require more hours than that floor. Hospitals and home health can use a different rule, so read the state registry before you rely on the federal floor.
