Erika now earns $11.29 per hour as a Nursing Assistant
Erika was receiving Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) when she
first came to KCJI. She’s married and is the mother of one child.

the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) course at South Seattle Community
College and passed the state exam. She’s now working at a local
community care center as a CNA making $11.29 per hour. Erika told
KCJI that she is extremely happy with her career in the health profession
and to be off of welfare!
