Yes the bonuses are a good thing at my facility if I work extra shifts. 12.85 alone doesn't pay the bills though. Unfortunately I'm still just as under paid as the rest.

I am 5 months pregnant and working as a CNA. I have been experiencing extreme lower back pain. Today it is especially worse, I can barely walk. I'm afraid to tell my boss that I need a lighter group to be on in fear that she will fire me. Did any of you work as a CNA while pregnant? How long did you work as a CNA during your pregnancy?? Really thinking of finding a different job for the time being.

I make 12.85 an hour. from 2pm-6am I make an additional $1.75. At our facility we get bonuses for shifts that we pick up. 4 hour shift we get a 30 dollar bonus for a full shift we get 60 dollars for a bonus. As you all know most nursing facilities are short handed and will allow you to pick up as many shifts as you want. That being said, I made 35k last year. I probably couldn't afford the lifestyle I live right now without my husbands income. But if I had to I could most certainly live off of that income if we had to.
