Per Diem CNAs: Do you get a reasonable amount of hours?

Published

Hi All,

This is my first post here on allnurses and I am very excited to get some answers to my questions! So here it goes.....I just became certified as a CNA. Of couse I filled out tons of application and took the first job that called me back. Now I work part time at a Nursing Home while finishing Nursing School. Well anyway two weeks after getting hired there a hospital called me and wanted me to work Per Diem there. I went to the hospital and accepted the position (which pays me A LOT more). The thing is I am not farmiliar with the hours of Per Diem CNAs.

Here are my questions....

First off, Do you like working in a Nursing Home or a Hospital better and why?

I would need to work at least three days/week.....do you think I would get that working per diem?

Should I ask the Nursing Home if I can work Per Diem there as well to give me more flexability and more chances of getting hours?

Have you ever been left with no hours?

Any other tips and advice would be appreciated!!!!! Thanks:wink2:
