My husband is separating- he completed his four year contract- so they literally cut you off the day separation is scheduled for. I won't even be able to get on base.

Also I live in NJ. The only reason it is $20/hr is because I have to work every other weekend and can't pick up any other shifts, I'm not complaining

I'm only working as a CNA until December when I finish my RN. I'm working because my husband will be separated from the military so we need the extra money and the experience is great for me. I have to have insurance during nursing school because it's required. It will probably just be the catastrophic plan. Remember my dears, it is only until December. If something happens, it happens, I'll deal with it as it comes. Thanks for all your input though! It's good to know I don't "need" it to be a CNA because I won't have it until August! :)

Thank you! I'm only working weekends, but getting paid $20/hr so what I make won't even cover my health insurance, it would be pointless. I wish I could pay for it but I'm trying to make money to afford it when I actually need it (during nursing school). If all goes as planned I'll be an RN in December and I can quit my whining:)

I apologize if this is a silly question but..... I have insurance right now because my husband is in the military. He gets out in a few weeks and we will lose the insurance. I begin my first CNA job on June 16 (I'm currently an RN student) the job will be 15 hours in a 2 week time period, obviously making it part time. Do I need health insurance to practice as a CNA?
