We’ve been getting a lot of questions about CNA wages, so here’s a quick snapshot for anyone considering a career at Norlite:

If you work a 12-hour shift, your average starting wage is nearly $23/hour when you factor in:
✔️ Direct Care Wage Bonus (“Hero Pay”)
✔️ Built-in overtime (4 hours each shift)

That’s before experience increases and other opportunities.

Even better—our team has real flexibility. Most teammates are able to choose their preferred schedules each month, with only occasional limits on highly requested days off.

If you’re looking for a place where your time, effort, and preferences are respected… it’s worth taking a closer look.

Please join us in celebrating Christine Mickelson for once again earning Teammate of the Month! 👏

Since joining our team in March 2019, Christine has been an incredible leader on our afternoon shift as a CNA Mentor. She consistently goes above and beyond for every resident, bringing kindness, compassion, and professionalism to everything she does.

Her peers describe her as someone who:
✨ Gets the job done without needing direction
✨ Prioritizes exceptionally well
✨ Maintains a positive attitude—always
✨ Communicates clearly and effectively
✨ Is patient, selfless, and truly team-oriented

Christine has the skill and confidence to run an entire hall on her own, yet she never hesitates to support her teammates and ensure everyone’s shift goes smoothly. She is someone people genuinely look forward to working with—and someone many look up to.

Beyond her clinical excellence, Christine represents the heart of what it means to be a Mentor. She leads by example every single day.

We also want to recognize her resilience—despite a challenging year outside of work, she continues to show up and give her all to our residents and team.

💙 Christine, thank you for being such a genuine, caring, and dependable presence. This recognition is so well deserved—again!

Every year on March 26th people around the world wear purple for International Epilepsy Awareness Day. This day is meant to help break the stigma, educate the public, and support those who have an epilepsy diagnosis. Our staff at Norlite wore purple in honor of all those who have this diagnosis to show our support; to let them know they are not alone. 💜💜
