Part time CNA Job


Hello everyone:

I am thinking get a CNA certificate then find a part time job while i am going to school.


my questions are:
1. Is it easy to find a part-time CNA job? ( l live in eastbay area in CA)
2. will employer pay for health insurance(medical, dental vision) for a part-time position?


I read some threads in the forum. I found working hours and pay information as follows

  • the average working hours is anywhere between 24 to 36 hours per week, weekend shift every other weekends.
  • the pay range is from $9 to $12 / hr.
  • for a new start CNA, the best place to find work is nursing homes or long term care facilities
I would like to hear your input and advises for going to school while working part-time. Thanks!

Around here it is easy to find a part time position, but I have never heard of a part time CNA getting benefits. Where I work, you have to work 30 hours a week to be eligible for benefits, and that's considered full time.

It's really easy to find a part time position on the weekends here, but benefits are usually a no-go. Though where I work, they offer benefits to anyone who normally works at least 20 hours per week.
