Cheryll of massachusetts :)

1. I've been a CNA for 3 yrs.

2. I do in home CNA work ( home agency), so its per hr/per client, so it can vary as clients get added or dropped. I get $14.00 an hr.

3. can have up to 6 clients a day..or as few as 2 a day.

4. I start the nursing program (ASN) this fall (2010) :)

5. I loved the diversity of clients, and the one on one contact with them. I got to see them in their natural surrounding, so it brings out the best of them, as well as the side you dont get to see in a health care facitlity. Most want me to just sit and talk, have a cup of tea with them, or to sit down with them as they eat their lunch, that I just made for them. I know when I do clinicals this fall, I wont have the opportunatity to splend such leisurly time w/my pts ;(

Question 5. What do you like MOST about being a CNA?

1.) 3 years, only have worked 2 of them, though.

2.) I started out in 2007 at 10$ per hour. When I resigned March 2009 I made 11.50 per hour in Kentucky. Depending where you live, that can change. For example: Cali and New York have higher standards of living (1 bedroom Apartment here is 600$ average where in New York it's 1,000$ average) So you'd probably make more or less depending on that.

3.) Generally 8 patients was standard. On a bad day I would have never more than 12.

4.) I am currently working on my LPN, my long term plan is to get my RN, BSN, MSN, ARNP.

5.) I loved the time I got to spend with the patients. I worked on an Alzheimers unit and they were really special people.
