New Virginia CNA having no luck

[nurseinfuture]

Hello I am just flustered! I am a pre nursing student and I became a licensed CNA in Virginia in March. I am having the absolute darndest time finding a position. I always here people say that places are always hiring for CNA's, but everyone wants you to have a year or more experience! How am I going to do that if I cannot get a job?? Please someone give me some light to this tunnel.

I've been working in a hospital for 12 years. It may not sound fun but I have seen people work in the kitchen who are cert for other things just to get their foot in the door. These places love to hire from within because they know you.
