I feel your pain. I just passed the state cerfication and I live in the Crystal River/Ocala area and no one wants to hire me because I have no experience. Of course, the school that took my money didn't tell me that....I have been told to just keep trying the nursing homes...

Take a position as a Resident Aide. No, you won't make enough money. Yes, you will probably have to work a second job. Then between 1-2 months before your 1-year anniversary as a Resident Aide, start looking for work as a CNA with 1 year of experience. This advice comes from a former Residential Care Facilities Owner

I can recommend volunteering, I don't consider it is a waste of time , because you get you foot ina door, make connections, go Human REsources Office and make friend there. Some people register with medical stuffing agencies.

I am still waitibg for reply on my request for nursing homes list.
People help! At least point me in a right direction. How to search for nursing homes that hire without a license, ( in my case it is in New York city.

I don't know about Georgia, but in New York, I heard about a girl who registered with medical staffing agency, got hired at nursing home for $9.00 an hour which is very little for New York, anyway
she did it to get experience only for 3 months and then got hired at a hospital.

Hi,
I live in Jamaica, Queens NY and will be starting my externship soon, my only concern was that after I finished my training I was left dead broke after paying for my classes that I ended up having to wait 2 months to pay my final payment, which is the reason why I culdnt' start my externship until after I paid my final payment to the school, and forgot a lot of what I was trained to do. Do you know of any places where I maybe able to go and volunteer? I really would like to brush up before I take my state boards, my main concern right now is making sure I know how to do my Skills.

Thanks :o)

I simply went on-line and loook up hospitals in my area.
Every hospital has a website and a volunteers department. I called them up they told me to vome in and fill out a volunterrs application. I actually downloaded from their website, filled out\and just showed up with my resume and CNA school certification.
BEfore going it isa good idea to find out the name of supervisor;
you want to talk to them directly and make a good impression. That's all.

hi demaris in new york,try some nursing homes for traning,also while you are home do some bedmaking techniques that you learned at school with an partner,also constantly take vital signs on yourself on someone in the home .and remember handwashing techniques 15sec rule,and turning and positioning patients,feeding walking pts.etc volunteer at nursing homes,the red cross trains for $100 check them out online for cna classes.

The best place for you to start woulod be in home healthcare because that is where you are going to gain your work experience at.

Your best bet is home healthcare, because that is where you will gain your most experience.

Whats not fair about it? You have no experience - go work in a nursing home. Why should a hospital hire you without experience when there are dozens of experienced people applying for the same position? Just because you say so?

Good for you. Stay unemployed. Real life doesn't work like that.
