Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. CNAs have a job that’s often unappreciated, but not by the Society. We understand the hours and the career itself can be difficult at times. It’s our priority to make sure we staff appropriately to help alleviate any additional stressors.

Pros

The Administration staff was supportive to staff needs and supported me in decisions that had to be made in our office.

Cons

Turnaround with Directors was very high, couldn't keep a director in their position what seemed like more than one year if even that. Very high stress level of work, their is a definite need for an Assistant Director which is what I was essentially doing but without the title or the pay. I ran that Dept for years without a Director and things were fine, then another would come in and mess things up again.
