Certified Nurse Assistants have been under-valued and under-paid across the board. We perform unending tasks in health care including private duty home care, Nursing Homes, and hospitals. We are not being fairly paid! You can work 15 years in Healthcare and still get paid only $10 to $12 per hour, which is the same as it was 15 years ago. This is not RIGHT! It's time to give CNAs a raise!
Why is this important?
I am a Certified Nurse Assistant and have worked 15 years in health care, during which time pay scales have not changed for CNA's in Missouri for myself nor for my peers. The purpose of this petition is to bring public and political awareness to the unfair wages paid to CNAs, with hope that change will follow.
