The co-chair of the National Male NA Task force is a NA from PA. We have a task force of male NAs who working on issues of males as caregivers. They have already made public statments about the value of males and what males need in order to be effective NAs. They will be meeting in Washington DC at the National Leadership conference OCt 29-30. You are invited. IF you cannot attend and will send me your postal mailing address, we will send you a questionaire to complete so you can have input.

: : after reading some of the complaints on the message board, i had to at least give my insight on being a cna in pa. true the work is hard, the shifts are crazy....my pay right now is 11.19 hr. which isn't bad i suppose, but i have a sister who is a LPN, and she feels that the cna's should make as much if not more than the nurses.....i of course am in total agreement. my main gripe is of course the staffing, and the pay.....but the feeling that you are second class at times by people in management... i say do my job for one day, and then see how you view us.......are there any more cna's from pa......or anywhere......i's like to hear from you...........
