  11. Is your health insurance affordable?

  12. standardized uniforms

    Jmiami replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    Jmiami replied to Jmiami's topic in General Students

    nope, not an option. CNA's make 9/hr where I live and there's no way I can take a $4 or $5/hr pay cut. If I demoted myself I'd still make over $9/hr and still get all my benefits. I'd love to get...
