I get paid like $12.50 an hour, but I also have like a lot of experience in the library. A friend of mine who just started gets paid like $10 an hour.

I live in Little Rock, Arkansas. Most public libraries are very flexible with schedules. Nursing will be my only degree. Classes start for me July 5th.

I work in a library part-time in the evenings (classes haven't started yet, but it'll be M-Thur. 7:30-3:30) so I'll work evenings and weekends at the library.

Hi all (this is my first topic), but I just recently got a job as a CNA at an Assisted Living facility. And I start LPN school in 1 week. So last night was a rough night for me at the new job, there is just one resident I can't seem to help, and she said I was hurting her, etc. it made me frustrated but I kept my cool. It also made me mentally drained (and I still had 10 more hours to go), anyways I was chatting with the LPN later and just kind of venting, and saying "I know I can be a nurse, but this is tough" and she told me "well Cory, there are some great LPNs/RNs who just cannot be CNAs. Even though the jobs inter-mingle sometimes and LPNs sometime do CNA duties, they couldn't fully be one". Which made me feel a little bit better. I wanted more people's opinions though. Is this true? I KNOW, I can be a good nurse, I just know I can. But I don't know if I can be a good CNA. How do people feel about that? Personal experience? Thanks!
