Passed exam last week - got a job today!Tampa, FL

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I am so excited! Just got my first job as a CNA in a home healthcare agency. Probably not going to be making much $$$, BUT, looking forward to the opportunity and working with clients. Can't believe it. Been out of work from the business world since last November and can't land a job! SO, followed this new calling...took the class, passed the exam, got license approved and got a job. The agency folk are wonderful. Hope I can get some hours in...wonder how this all works. Once I get some experience, I will be looking for an opportunity in a LTC / Rehab. :yeah: I love being called a "CAREGIVER"! Can't wait to start giving care! :redpinkhe

Congratulations!!!! I am in a similar boat as you!! I finished my CNA course a couple of weeks ago and my certification test in on Monday ( a little nervous!) I already have a job lined up at a hospital near me once I get licensed!! Things have been turning around for me once I decided to get into the nursing field. Ive been out of work since May of last year. But yea good luck with everything and congratulations!!:yeah::D

rock on!! that is so awesome!!

i love hearing success stories such as yours.. i am in st. petersburg, just got my license.. i too was layed off -- in march.. i was in the corporate environment and this was my 3rd time in a layoff.. so, decided this was the time to make my dream happen.

i am so glad it is all working out for you... i was told by one of my teachers who has been a cna for 15 or more years that home healthcare agency work is great. he mentioned the hours were very flexible.. good luck!!
