  1. hi

    In my county it is anywhere from minimum 5.15 an hour to 10 maximum. Keep in mind cost of living is quite a bit lower than in California. Most jobs are about 7 dollars an hour for NA. Of course the big cities might pay more. With 3 kids it might ...
  2. CNA Class

    I will check on the no lifting thing (thongs - lol) - made me laugh. I live in a pretty rinky dinky town - so it seems like everything is 10 to 20 years behind the times.
  3. Parent Student Loans

    Still looking for info on Parent Student Loans - Thank You.
  4. CNA Class

    to take or not to take - to work or not to work? My main question is how much will I have to lift? How many pounds by myself? I really don't want a back injury - I have talked to so many CNAs who quit because of this. I even considered just work...
  5. What part...

    I took my classes - science and such at the Marion, Indiana Ivy Tech - which only has a bridge program and I cannot seem to come up with the money and admittance to a different Ivy Tech program at the same time. I would love to move - but poverty pr...
  6. Parent Student Loans

    She could borrow on credit cards while waiting on loan approval - but if not approved what would be the minimum payment on 5000 dollars(cash)? I think there is supposed to be a chart somewhere on the web that tells you that - anyone know where it is...
  7. Parent Student Loans

    What are places to get Parent Student Loans and which ones are the best to apply for? My friends daughter is in her final semester of school - her car (the students) has given up completely - they are sharing a car and getting help from others but t...
  8. Moonlighting Nurses

    So you think this woman I work with made up her pay scale and works retail just for fun? Most of the all nurses site is complaining about pay and work conditions - is it all made up? Attacking me rather than working to make life/payscales better for...
  9. Indianapolis hospitals that pay for grad school?

    Most of Indiana is rural/small town. Very low wages and no tuition paid for. Now maybe Indy or near Chicago pays better - but most of Indiana is suffering economically. Very few LPN programs or RN programs - most of those very expensive and compet...
  10. Moonlighting Nurses

    The midwest economy is really bad. I think the economy in other states will go this way too unfortunately. It seems to be spreading across the country.
  11. Credit reports

    I work in retail right now and yes the employers I have applied to do all kinds of checks, criminal, credit and a drug test (UA) and these are just parttime minimum wage jobs. I am sure in nursing they have to do even more checking.
  12. Moonlighting Nurses

    This is rural/small town Indiana. The LPN was making about 7 an hour and no benefits. Typical wages. Going an over hundred mile round trip might gain a dollar or two an hour - but with gas prices and bad winter weather and wear and tear on cars - ...
  13. Indianapolis hospitals that pay for grad school?

    Indiana is a poverty state - I just don't think any hospitals here will pay for grad school. I don't think most will pay for anything.
  14. CNA classes?

    Try Ivy Tech Laffeyette - it costs about 600 bucks now - you will have to really nag at them for the info. CNA work pays lousy in Indiana - like minimum wage - and I have heard horror stories about how CNAs here are treated.
  15. Moonlighting Nurses

    I have been talking to nurses in my area who are having to moonlight in other jobs due to the low wages here. Only 1 hospital in the county - low wages and not alot of clinics or medical offices. All of them pay low wages. When gas was cheaper the...
