  3. Considering a job as an oncology cna

    kcsunshine replied to kcsunshine's topic in Oncology

    The pay cut mostly has to do with the fact that I have a supervisor position at my work. If I were to be a regular PNA I, the pay would be very similar. I've heard the same thing, that hospitals...
