federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour. some states but not all have a higher minimum wage.

i am finishing my cna class through a local technical college this week. earlier int he class my teacher told us that if we get hired at any facility that takes medicaid, within 1 year of completion, we will be reimbursed for the class. i wanted to find the documentation for this and could not find information for sc but i found this:

I'm finishing my CNA class this week and from what I understand (here in SC anyway) - it seems that the CNA qualifies you to work in LTC(or home health but it seems home health would want some experience above and beyond clinicals). Our school does clinicals at 3 different nursing homes in the area (our class was split between 2 facilities) and if to get employment at a hospital (as a PCT) they require CNA cert and BLS cert to apply, then you would be hired and they would have you then attend PCT training, to become a PCT. (BLS= Basic Life Support for healthcare providers from the AHA,American Heart Association , PCT=Patient Care Technician)
