So I just put in my two week notice at my job as a server at a restaurant. I just made $110 in tips + minimum wage in 8 hours tonight ,which is pretty decent. My job is flexible, fast-paced, and had great people, and was stable.
I'm giving all this up to take a six week course, to look for a CNA job that probably pays $10/hr and is about the same stress level and hard work as a waitress if not more.
I think I'm crazy but I had to make a choice, and nursing experience seemed like the way to go, especially when my husband can help out.
BUT Goodness, it is hard to give up a good job that fit with my school schedule!!! Wish me luck :)
