CNA

I think environmental services managers would disagree strongly with your characterization. The one I know at my current assignment is heavily involved with infection and traffic control. Degreed professional in his field. I certainly could not do his job.

I do have enough education and experience to do an aide's job though.

I'm sorry you have formed poor opinions of nurses presimably your work experiences I'm guessing. I've had a variety of jobs in my life and it has been my experience that there are many unhappy people who do not enjoy their work and there are probably just as many nurses in that category as any other vocation or profession.

Speaking of CNAs, here is another kind of work: would you believe a one day strike in Washington state? $1,000 for one 12 hour shift plus flight, hotel, and $30 an hour for orientation (probably in the hotel). A strike company called me for some reason. Perhaps no CNAs in their database.

prime time staffing send CNAs all across the country. I was making 800 dollars a week. I know this is late, but if any CNAs come across this post feel free to ask me anything i can give you my recruiters info. Don't let anyone talk down to you we are important.

Things would be so much better if we respected each other as teams. Not be concerned about titles. I worked my way up from home health aid, nurse aid, CNA, LPN,RN. each level didn't like the others this is so sad.we have to work together as a team it's not about money and status.i remember as a cna,i thought the nurses didn't do much work they were sitting down all the time, boy was I wrong come to find out the ones that weren't working were lazy.I sure worked when I got licensed including helping my cnas which some nurses refuse to do. I've heard them say they didn't go to school for that, therefore they let the aides work short smh. We all need each other. some of myR.N. co workers feel they are above cna,lpn. please get off the high horse we all work together. The health care field should all be one family working together to help all. That's in our creed (In other words)

There are CNA travel assignments available in certain states but it's best to research information for yourself to be better informed before posting replies for those who may be interested in traveling as a CNA.

I know about travel CNA jobs that are domestic. Some people go through National Staffing Solutions and there are other agencies to work through locally. They pay you to go over the country and give you housing while you are in your new location. I have had the awesome opportunity to work with some travel aides and they were the kindest people. My facility was short staffed locally so they had to get CNAs from travel agencies, they come from all over the country so I know travel CNAs exist locally because I have friends who are travel aides. As for international travel that information is new to me and I am going to do further research to verify.
