There was a glut of RNs, CNAs that time. Almost all CNAs want to work in a hospital; no RN/CNAs want to work in nursing homes. Nursing homes are the last choice for these people. This CNA friend, who told me about how CNAs work at nursing homes, now works for the state prison. And she makes $160K a year with overtime. And she lives in some socal desert, where this state prison is located. She was happy to get a job there, because of $100K jump in salary.
