Your Questions About Nursing Assistant Salary Per Hour

Chris asks…

What is the salary in Slovenia for some professions?

For example…
cleaner (the minimal..)
waitress
shop assistant
McDonald’s
Nurse
Medical doctor
Computer programmer

And if there is a guaranteed minimal salary what is it (per hour or per month)

admin answers:

The minimum wage in Slovenia at present is 562 Euros per Month or 3.32 Euros per Hour. Cleaners, Waiters, Shop Assistants, McDonalds Employees can get anything between 562 and 650 Euros per month depending on the employer. A Nurse’s basic salary begins from 700 Euros per month, while doctors’ salaries start from appx 1100 per month. As for computer programmers I think it depends heavily on the company, with salaries of 700 Euros and above…

Lisa asks…

is $10 an hour ok for me to live on?

is it an ok salary for me to live on? im gonna take my cna course and become a certified nursing assistant. even though im taking my business degree program for my bachelors, i dont think im gonna be able to use it. i want forever to have a healthcare job. i want to work in the hospital. i wanted to go for nursing, but unfotunately its much harder plus its more expensive for me to handle. thats why i decided on cna. my dad is 80 and he has prostate cancer. he says when he dies, i will be inheriting his house and some other houses(dont know how many), along with some cash(dont know how much). i do plan on becoming an RN one day, probably when i get my inheritance.

Question; can i live of with a salary as a cna worth $10 per hour? i plan on not renting. even though i live with my grandparents, after i get my business degree, my father is gonna let me move in with him since im gonna inherit his house anyways. i dont want any kids and dont plan on getting married for at least 10 yrs or more. im just dont think im a father type material lols. i rather help my family instead of my getting one.

thanks for ur advice!

$10 an hour is ok for you to live on with no other expenses… You’re living with your grandparents now, you’ll live with your dad, presumably he’ll pay the normal expenses of the household as he has been doing.

If you’re going to ‘inherit’ some money.. Has it entered your dad’s mind that he can pay for your tuition to nursing school (directly to the school) without it coming out of his annual allowable $13K ‘gifting’?? Maybe you can get a start on that RN before he dies and that money won’t be charged against his ‘estate’, which has now gone back down to a level of $600K + a bit. Multiple houses can eat that up quite quickly.

Save your money for the tuition to go to real nursing school while you can.

Next question: Is your dad going to live long enough to move in with him “after” you get your business degree??

Good idea about taking care of existing family rather than starting a new one… I applaud you for that.

Think about all the options.

Please help me with this accounting homework?

Exercise 10.1
During the sixth month of the fiscal year, the program director of the Westchester
Home-Delivered Meals (WHDM) program decides to again recompute fixed costs,
variable costs, and the BEP using the high–low method. Here are the number of
meals served and the total costs of the program for each of the first six months:
Month Meals Served Total Costs
July 3,500 $20,500
August 4,000 22,600
September 4,200 23,350
October 4,600 24,500
November 4,700 25,000
December 4,900 26,000
Recompute fixed costs, variable costs, and the BEP. What are the variable
costs? What are the fixed costs? How many meals will the WHDM program need
to provide during the fiscal year to reach the BEP? How much profit will the program
earn if it completes its 45,000-meal contract with the City of Westchester?
Exercise 10.2
It has been two years since the New River Community Council (NRCC) started its
newsletter dealing with state and community funding opportunities for human service
agencies. The current number of subscribers to the newsletter is 525. During the
second year, the NRCC hired a new part-time newsletter coordinator (social work
student). The NRCC has raised the salary of the part-time newsletter coordinator to
$6,000 per year and has also hired another part-time student as an assistant for ten
hours a week. The assistant is to be paid $75 per week or $3,900 per year. Together
the newsletter coordinator and the part-time assistant believe they can handle up to
650 newsletter subscribers. Beyond this number, the newsletter program will
require still more staff resources. In order to help cover the cost of the new part-time
assistant, the executive director has also decided to increase the annual subscription
price of the newsletter to $20. Additionally, the variable costs of preparing, printing,
and mailing six bimonthly issues of the newsletter have risen to $4.50.
Recompute the BEP for the newsletter program. What is the new BEP? Is the
new BEP a feasible solution? Why or why not? Will any slack capacity exist? If so,
how much? If not, why not?
Exercise 10.3
The Mountain View Senior Adult Program (MVSAP) is interested in starting a visiting
nurse program. The program would use licensed practical nurses to make

home visits once a week to full-pay clients in the community. The MVSAP will
treat the visiting nurse program as a profit center. If the visiting nurse program is
successful and profitable, the profits will be used to expand the program to partialpay
and no-pay clients during the second year of operation. The executive director
is not sure how best to implement the program. She has two major alternatives.
The first alternative is to hire a small number of nurses and make them full-time
employees. The second alternative is to contract with several nurses who would be
interested in working part-time. To help in thinking through this financial management
decision situation, the executive director decides to compute a series of
BEPs based on contracting for the service and based on hiring one, two, and three
full-time nurses.
The executive director makes the following assumptions about the new visiting
nurse program:
n The price of the service will be set at $65 per visit.
n One full-time nurse position can provide a maximum of 120 one-hour visits
per month.
n If the service is contracted, the agency plans to pay the contract nurses at the
rate of $45 per visit including the cost of supplies.
n If the agency hires the nurses, the monthly salary will be $4,000 and the
agency plans on spending an average of $10 per client per visit for supplies.
n Regardless of the method of service delivery (direct or contract) and regardless
of the number of nurses hired, the agency plans to charge (allocate)
$4,000 per month in indirect costs to the visiting nurse program.
Compute four annualized BEPs assuming the following: (1) the service is
contracted, (2) one full-time nurse is hired, (3) two full-time nurses are hired, and
(4) three full-time nurses are hired. What are the four BEPs? Why do these BEPs
differ? Are all of these BEPs feasible solutions? If you were the executive director of
the Mountain View Senior Adult Program, what method of service delivery (direct
or contract) would you use? Why?

10.1

High – low (meals) = 4900-3500 = 1400
High – low (cost) = 26000-20500 = 5500

So variable cost = 5500/1400 = $3.93 (to 2 decimal places)

Fixed cost = total cost – variable cost
FC = 20500 – (3500 x 3.93) = $6750

To know the BEP we need to know the price they get for each meal, as well as the cost of each meal. I don’t think we have that information in what you have sent. If you have that separately, please feel free to let me know, and I’ll try to finish the question.

10.2

Annual revenue per sub = $20
Annual variable cost per sub = $4.5
Annual margin per sub = 20-4.5 = $13.5

Annual fixed cost = 6000+3900 = 9900

BEP = 9900/13.5 = 733.33

This is not feasible, because the capacity of the current stafff is only 650 subs. So there is no slack capacity.

I guess you don’t need this one?

Sharon asks…

Are Doctors Quitting There Professions?

Hi everyone,

Not too long ago, I was visiting my oncology clinic to receive my weekly check up. As usual the clinic was busy and the doctors had thier hands full. So I went to the cafeteria to past the time and I happen to meet with a few Registered Nurses & Physician Assistants that usually take care of me as an in-patient. I brought up the subject in which I said that ” I wished that I was a doctor and that I regretted on not being one”. I continued on saying that I wanted to help to contribute to mankind, live the lavish lifestyle, and be in the center of human society!

However, the PA’s and the RNs stopped me in my tracks and quickly answered by saying ” well, at one point you can say that, but you really don’t want to be in their shoes anymore!” They continued to say that it was a good idea that you went a different route in your life. Because its getting more intense & complex to become a physician in any field in medicine. They also gave me thier reasons.

First, was the extreme conditions. Doctors have a high stress profession that causes them to be on hign alert. They have so much pressure that many want to quit after a few years in their practice. They handle life & death situations all the time, and one little slip-up can become fatal!

Second is the hours. Most doctors (if not all) are always on call 24/7. Its not a typical 9-5 work place, in which you get very little sleep and work countless hours of the week (sometimes 55-80 per week). Many are sleep deprived and have mental breakdowns because of this.

Third is the Insurance companies. According to the PAs and RNs, doctors are not truly practicing in their fields like they used too. The pharmaceutical & insurance companies are dictating & handpecking the doctors for every little detail that thier doing. If a physician doesn’t follow the guide lines now on what the insurance companies are doing, then they get penalise for caring for the patient. The doctors have now become “Paper Pushers”.

Fourth is pay. Contrary to popular believe, doctors are not living the lifestyles of the rich & famous like it once was 20-30 years ago. Malpratice insurance is through the roof and continues to be everyyear. Medical school costs a truck load of money, plus it takes a lifetime to pay. If you factor that plus other life expenses such as home loans, car loans, property taxes, food, clothing, utility bills, raising children, licencing fees, and taxes for the IRS, etc. The net-income doctors salary at the year makes it look like their eligible for public assistance! Even with a couples income put together.

Fifth is the dedication & sacrifice. It takes 12+ years to officially licenced doctor in the United States. You have to go to college, medical school, residency, fellowship, and board certification. Many start at 18, and graduate at 31-32 (mostly). After board certification, then your career finally takes of. Unfortunately, you waste your youth by doing so.us (is it really worth it).

For these reasons the PAs & RNs said your route in life is much better now then doctors. If you are here to help mankind, THAT’S IT! For all others, its not worth it!

I’m have my reasons that were told by me, but is this all true? What is everybody’s opinion on this topic?

admin answers:

Doctors are getting tired of insurance company hassles and late payments. (Insurance rules change based on how many exclusions and loopholes can be found.) Doctors are finding their liability policy prices prohibitive, too.

A neurosurgeon quit practicing and became a prison doctor and his partner became a researcher. An OBGYN quit accepting any insurance since the hassles weren’t worth it.

Most doctors pick and choose which insurance companies they will accept.

It is easier to get sick in Europe or Canada and find a doctor and get a prescription filled.
