Ugh I am getting so jaded and I haven't even found a job yet, lol. I have my CNA in a different state and have applied for reciprocity here. I was told over the phone that I could apply for positions at LTC facilities as a CNA while awaiting reciprocity. So several interviews later I've been told that since I am awaiting reciprocity they can just hold my applicaiton till I get my in state certfication! At least they think I am hireable, lol.
So in the meantime there is a home health agency that is willing to hire me as a CNA. There is also an ALF that made me an offer as a caregiver (none of the SNFs use caregivers). So which would look better on my resume in the future once I have my CA reciprocity and can actually be hired by the facilities? Being an actual CNA through home health (does this count towards the six months of experience acute care and hospitals ask for)? Or being a 'caregiver' at a assisted living facility that might later hire me as a CNA, the particular facility has very few CNAs and mostly 'caregivers'.
