😭Yes! I know this all too well. It's across the board low pay for CNAs. The only option is to spend more money on a degree or certifications to move up.

Absolutely! Investing in education can feel like the only way forward.

Indeed!
The higher I go in healthcare, the less the reward in more ways than one. Now it’s like I work for less than minimum wage when all is said and done. It took 3 years for my pay as a nurse practitioner to rise above what I made as a registered nurse at the bedside. So now I barely make “more”, pay almost $800/month in student loans, have far worse health insurance, far more responsibilities, and work way more hours. Yet I don’t get compensation for all of the extra hours because I’m salary. And it costs a fortune to keep up with all of the required continuing education requirements, licensing costs, and other fees to remain compliant. Such a scam.
