I am getting discouraged.
Why OH pays $9 or $11 an hour for nursing assistants? Our job is not easy. It is mentally, emotionally, and physically challenging.

My new CNA is a male. He is a big burley teddy bear. I felt totally at home with him. I did all I could do for myself and he did the rest. He is a southern gentleman with a beard and some awesome star tattoos. I asked him if...
