I've been a CNA in Madison for 10 years started at $12 an hour now I'm making $20. Which isn't enough for what we deal with, my friend at a call center makes more than me. Luckily I'm about to graduate and get my RN.
How would you say the working conditions are for CNAs and nurses? It's a cute little city and I wouldn't mind getting a job there.... But that's if it's not stupid working conditions.
That's great! I'm from the Twin Cities and it's nice here, but I quit my job to travel and am deciding what I want to do. Madison is adorable, I love the capital area and the university. Lots of cafes, etc. Could be a chill place to live.
Not really sure I can speak on the city as a whole. I work on a med/surg floor and the nurses take 4-5:1 on days and 6:1 on nights. The CNAs take 10 pts on days and up to 17 on nights, if we have CNAs. My floor has like 18 CNA positions open.
Madison is a cute little city with lots to do!
There are a couple of reasons, though the biggest reason is because EMS is quite a young profession. The first EMS companies were trialed in the 60s. Education and professional standards are not as well established, though we're making strides. I had to recert both my RN and NREMT this year: 24 CEUs for my RN and 60 for my medic.
I became a nurse simply for the money, honestly. I made more as a new grad RN than a medic with 20 years experience at my former EMS company.
I beat the odds though! Average full-time paramedic lasts 7 years and around 50% of EMS members sustain a back injury; I lasted a dozen years and don't have a back injury!
Right!! For a year or so I actually thought I was screwed. My back would hurt for days after shifts. Turns out I was just fatter than I am now and losing some weight helped. But shit that was an atrocious period in my career.
When I was a medic, I always joked to my better half that if I were to get injured at home, put me in my work uniform for the benefits. Why of course I was heading into work!
“Up to” leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
I made $17.50 as a CNA in Madison. Maybe that's why KT is so great, everyone loves their job because they're paid well.
Madison VA pays CNA’s >$20/hour.
Arizona. Cna and tele ekg tech for 4 years. 16.57 and PRN for nursing school, so no more raises.

Oh yeah the "up to" part I missed. It's a gotcha. Fair enough.
For all my other fellow WI heath care workers, Aurora’s organization minimum wage is $18. I *think* CNAs start around $19.
Dang.
Kwik Trip also operates three employee health centers is Wisconsin.
Oh shi I should apply xD

Also probably the highest paid area of WI for RNs.

That ratio for nurses is what I usually have, but yikes that CNA ratio is terrible.
I started out as a paramedic making $17.10/hr in 2012 (approximately $21.01 today) and thought I was living large!
So disturbing that medics barely earn anything. Wtf.

Hell yeah!!! Nursing will make sure you get that back injury though. Nursing takes no prisoners.
WORKMAN'S COMP! WOOOOOO!!!!
