I'm excited to be starting nursing school next month. I understand that after one semester you can become a licensed CNA here in Montgomery County, Maryland. I would appreciate any advise from anyone who has done this or advice on how to go about finding a part time job after January. I need to work part time while I'm in school and a CNA job sounds good. Thanks in advance.

It may be different in Maryland, but here in Iowa, a facility will hire you as long as you are in school to eventually achieve your NA certificate, and if it will be within four months of hire. Just start calling around different facilities and see what their policy is, if and when they usually hire people in your situation. They'll have the most information on it.
