I make roughly 9.75 hourly at a ltc nursing center. If you work a weekend you aren't scheduled you get a 25$ bonus and an extra .25 an hour.

I believe it's a great song.....Especially now that I have about a month working as an assistant. I've had the chance to really earn some residents trust and love. It's very fulfilling hearing life stories and knowing that they admire and appreciate everything you do. I love my job as a cna... Can't wait to start nursing school this spring!

Gitano, thank you for clearing this up. And thanks everyone for the kind and encouraging words. I have found this site to be very helpful and friendly. I hope to stay here over the course of my career! I'm also glad that many of you enjoyed the video. It brings happy tears to my eyes everyone I watch it.

Woah, please excuse my poor grammar! It is too late for me to be posting!

[video=youtube_share;txCUwSKo1kg] While I'm not an RN yet, I've been along side my mom as she's worked in nursing homes and the home health setting before she passed away at the young age of 39. I have recently started a cna job. As a male, people are often shocked when they find I'm pursuing the nursing field. One day after my mother had passed away, I had been by to cut the grass of a 101 year old lady that she helped take care of. My grandmother who took over her care, needed to run to the store, asked me to feed her dinner while she left. The lady was going downhill pretty fast and hadn't been In her right mind or speaking for weeks. All of a sudden as I'm feeding her, she grabs my hand very tightly and opens her eyes wide, and says "you're mother would be really proud of you". These were the only she had spoken in over 6 days. from that day, I've knew my calling. I believe this song explains my journey and hopefully some of you others can relate to

Thanks! I'll defiantly check those out. I'm a bigger guy (6'3 240) so I'm running into some trouble finding ones that fit comfortably

I have just graduated high school last month. I've already started college for pre nursing courses. I'm starting a job in two weeks as a CNA for a ltc facility. Can anyone recommend a good stethoscope and scrubs to purchase? I have some Cherokee scrubs, but they fit a little weird. May just be that I need a smaller size.
