so much? Every single CNA and Registered Nurse that i hear about always talk about how much they hate their jobs, but yet they still stay in the field. I had cancer last year and the nurses who were administering me my chemotherapy treatment were not kind and caring at all. Only about 3 of them were actually nice. The other Nurses hated their jobs and had attitudes for no reason at all. They always walked around with sad looks on their faces as if they hated the job. If they hate the job so much i don't know why they stay with it.

the money. nurses make bookoo money and cna's make at least above minimum wage. it beats factory work but is hard on your back and is very stressful.

nurses dont have set hours. they have to stay till the work is done if not their license is at jeapordy. ive seen nurses work 16 hours a day 6 days a week.

High demand and job security.

You should try becoming a freelance motivational speaker, the job pays JACK SQUAT.

This is a very true and sad thing, it pays more than min wage
that is the bottom line
but if that is the only reason someone gets into it for
they will not last
you have to really have your heart and soul into it
or you will not survive

I used to work as a cna. As in any job, you have people that are good at their job and people who are not. I think most people who become nurses or cnas really do care about others and want to help. When you are spread thinly, understaffed and overstressed, it's hard to keep up a compassionate front. I had a nurse actually make fun of me during a hospital stay when I was a teen. I had my hair in hot rollers because I was having visitors that day and she said to another nurse, "Oh what do we have here, how CUTE." People who work closely with others need to really watch their actions and their mouth. Health care work is a stressful job and it's not for everyone. I'm sorry about your illness and how you were treated.
