CNA jobs in Bay Area

Hi there,

After lurking on this site for over 6 years, I finally took my first baby step in becoming a nurse this summer, and took a CNA class. I am graduating in two weeks and am looking for a position in a hospital.

I know, I know, everyone says you have to start in LTC or SNF, but my objective down the road is to work in acute care, so I figured I'd try to get my foot in the door as early as possible...

Anyone knows of positions for a CNA, Patient Care Tech, Hospital Assistant etc. in the Bay Area hospitals?

I've been applying online on their websites, and scouring craig's list but nothing's turning up so far...

p.s. is it true a certificate in acute care training is necessary to work in a hospital setting?

p.s.2 I Loooooooooove Allnurses!!!
