Do you feel underpaid, underappreciated? Does the trash man make more cash than you do? Has your pay ever actually increased? Comments or suggestions cnacoons@yahoo.com or djsolutions@charter.net Thanks http://www.nextdaypc.com/baxter

cna is a hard job and should get paid more, seriously.

In East Central Mississippi a Nursing Home CNA makes $7.75 an hour. Canned cat food or high protein puppy chow anyone? Don't forget the multi-vitaman and hot sauce.

An excelent idea. You should know what you are getting yourself into. I have been a CNA for almost 7 years, and am currently going to school to be an RN. It may have taken me a long time to go back to school, but I thank god for every hardship I endured as a CNA. I believe the experience I have as a nurse aide will make a better nurse, for both my patients and my CNAs.

I am actually going to become a CNA while in school for nursing..I get they don't get paid much BUT think about it. You don't have a college degree only a certificate? Do you expect to be making butt loads of money? You can always go back to school. It's common sense, with a higher education you make more money and have better opportunities. And if you're in it for the money that was your first problem..Your heart needs to be in it.

Dude you need to move the hell out of Tennessee. My girl makes 17hr at Banner hospital in Mesa, AZ. She has only been a CNA for 2 years. She also does Monitor Tech and Unit Secretary. I do agree with you that CNA'S don't get paid nearly enough of what your worth. I guess it really depends on location and place of employment. Good luck and keep up the good work.

I have done the same think the last two weeks I have been working at my hospital! NO pay and VERY HARD WORK!!!!!

[smyers32]

I work as a PCT at a local hospital in Atlanta GA. I am also a CNA . I can not beleive the pay we get. My pay is not much more than what was mentioned in this video. Not only is our work important but is is also very hard!! I wish somehow we could get more money for the work we do. This really makes me not like my job, which doesn't make sense, I like what I do but I don't like the pay! What can we do? Nothing!

[IowanativeQR]

Yea I can't wait until I'm finished with college so I can get out of this shit, at my job we are so short on staff that recently I've had to work on my own caring for 20 people. It's bullshit. Cna is a joke.
