Now I know it will be hard work, that I am prepared for...
However, since I have been interested in becoming a CNA while going through nursing school I have heard everything from positive experiences to horror stories. One girl told me CNA's basically deal with the nastiest aspects of nursing and for the lowest pay. She told me I would be changing adult diapars all day for $7/hr.
Now I don't mind changing adults, but I at least need to know I can pay my bills if I take this job.
Also a local hospital offers paid training to become a PCT, so maybe if it's truly "paid" I should go for that instead....?
I was offered $11 per hour but not until I get reciprocity and have certification in sate:( so I guess starting wage for a non experienced CNA in Cali is 11 per hour but nothing for me while I wait for reciprocity!
There are caregiver positions here that pay $9 per hour and do not require certification which is what I'm trying to do right now.
