   CandAmommy replied to Kvallejo's topic in CNA/MA

   I just started to work in the Kissimmee, FL area and make $10 an hour. I have to drive about 30 min though. The hours are perfect for me anyway. Not that bad.

    CandAmommy replied to TaraRae123's topic in CNA/MA

    You will be way too tired if you plan to work nights during the school week. That is just my opinion of course.

12. Highschool and CNA?

    CandAmommy replied to TaraRae123's topic in CNA/MA

    When do you plan to actually work? I think it would be difficult while you are still in highschool. Most shifts you would be able to do would be 11-7 or 12 hour 7-7, but than when would you sleep? Or did you plan to just work on weekends? It is hard ...
