   MissFlashRN replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for answering my question. As I suspected, YOU ARE NOT A NURSE! You told me not to go there about pay not being great for CNAs, and I'm telling YOU not to go there about what nurses make and if it is a "good" wage (which is your OPINION). I...
