  2. Busy...busy..busy.. Start the 30th!

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm part time and at my hospital we get paid time and a half for any hours worked over 8 per day. That's why we all really like pulling doubles. I really think it depends on the place. Federal law...

    Ytellu replied to steph.lpn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ytellu replied to PartyPiper's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
