I'm assuming CNA (cert nurse assist) and PCA (personal care assist) are the pretty much the same thing as far as hospitals are concerned, right?
Do hospitals have job fairs that include these positions so I could find out more?
What is the typical pay range for a CNA? 10-15 an hour?
Do most nurses work as a CNA during nursing school for experience or a "foot in the door" at a specific hospital/unit?
I'm a hairstylist now and I make well over 20 an hour...but I'm curious about working part time as a CNA for the experience...the only thing is htat my daycare costs are $8 an hour soI could not work as a CNA for less than 12 once I figure in gas, meals etc. So, I'd only consider it if it really really helped getting a job or getting thru nursing school.:innerconf
