I'm CNA and hate it so I decided to do Dietary Aide instead .However, some of my colleges are always saying ,you should do Nursing, its better. The thing is, I don't think I will like Nursing .And with dietary aide you make the same as CNA were I live which is $20 an hour and you won't be doing any grunt work. The nurses make $23 an hour which isn't that much difference from CNA and Dietary Aide.And some LTC that are owned by the government I could make up to 23 an hour as dietary aide which is decent salary without having all that responsibility on my shoulders. Even one of the house keepers was like"since you're already psw why don't be an RPN?What's so special about Nursing? Also what Nursing is really like?Is it an easy job?
