If you are near the DC Metro area the pay is anywhere from 10-14 an hour. If you are that close though I would jump the border to VA where the pay tends to be higher.

Any others suggestions on jobs while beginning the journey, lol?

Thanks!

Hi, I think after your first semester in a nursing program you can just pay for your CNA license, at least that was how it worked for us if we wanted it. Community Colleges also have CNA courses. CCBC has one. Good luck.
