Recieved a call for an interview....advice needed

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I applied for a CNA position(in Jan.) at a LTC facility, and I stated on the application that I had NO experience but I am willing to learn. Well they called for an interview(maybe they are doing the training). But now Im being reluctant, because the (wellknown) facility doesnt have the best of reputation that Ive heard. On the other hand Im looking to change careers. Going to LPN school this fall or Jan of next year, and CNA would give me the experience. We will be moving to Florida so Ill go to school there, and I could work as a CNA while going to school. So if I did do it here, it would only be for 6-12 months. Advice?

My long term goal is to become an RN(hopefully) and work in the OR. But I REALLY want to be a LPN first.

Specializes in ALF, Medical, ER.

I'd say go for it. Don't really know what goes on there until you see for yourself. If it does turn out to be a bad facility, then just give your two weeks and part ways on good terms. Just be sure tho to give it enough of a chance especially if this is your first experience in healthcare. Good luck
