Re: When is appropriate to apply for jobs?
I would think once he graduates the class he can start applying. That way he's got a foot in the door so to speak, so once he gets his cert he can work legally as a CNA. He could put on the application the date he finishes his classes with an expected date of testing for the cert.
I recently graduated my LPN schooling. I applied for a position in a local LTC facility. I was hired as a GPN. They asked that I just bring in my diploma (which when I applied I hadn't received because the Graduation cermony awarding diplomas wasn't until last evening). Once I pass my boards my title will go from GPN to LPN. if I fail my Boards (God forbid) I will loose that position, be "demoted", pay will be reduced to that jobs pay scale and work at that lower position until I test and pass.
