      I’ve noticed the base starting pay for CNA in an LTC facility is like $13 an hr and for PCT/CNA in med surge starts at $15 which seems to be the cap for LTC/CNA.

      Being a cna in the emergency department can be much more easier than working on a unit. The cna’s at my hospital er mostly screen and take vitals amongst entry, get urine samples, walk people to their rooms,
      Help clean and make up beds in between patients. And working night shift can be much more calming

    • @nicolejones9914
      @nicolejones9914 2 роки тому

      @@katsolo605 It can be very overwhelming due to the rising cases of covid. Being short staffed and the waiting rooms being packed can be stressful but I’d rather be a tech/cna in the ER than on a unit. We have a lot of techs/cna’s that come to the ER to get off the floor. Its not as physically draining because you’re not giving baths and lifting heavy linen bags and doing other things you’d typically do if you were a tech on a unit. Everybody is different though.

      I personally only like med Surg but med Surg is a difficult busy floor and fast pace. If you like to experience a little bit of every floor then a float tech will be best. The hospital I work at you get paid more for floating.

      Oh really I am quite scared to work like on ER or ICU like the critical departments I’m a little bit afraid not knowing what to expect since I’m new to this world of the hospital much do you get pay for floating? Like what is the average pay like how can I say oh this is a good pay to accept the offer being that you do so much.

    • @kimberly594
      @kimberly594  2 роки тому

      @@katsolo605 yeah I only get paid 9 dollars an hour lol. I’d say it just depends on where you live. Just know you’ll never get paid what you should. Once you get use to it, the ER and ICU will be just like any other floor. You’ll just see different things but it’ll all pretty much be the same. Most people prefer other floors over Med/Surg.

    • @katsolo605
      @katsolo605 2 роки тому

      Omg that’s way to low pay I live in California so when they call me I hope they offer a good payment cause it don’t sound easy working in hospitals I also got offered in a senior leaving paying $25 hourly. So I hope I make the good decisions when hospitals call to offer me the job. Even though I’m scared but I would like to learn many things.
