Quit my job. CNA Yes or No?

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

I just put in my two week notice at a job I have been working at for 7 years. (non medical career) I am still on the waiting list for local tech school. Should I go for my CNA until I get picked or get another job? I would guess I will get picked for January. I live in Florida so most of the CNA's are nursing homes. I'm not sure I want to go that route. I am very apprehensive. Anyone work in a Florida Nursing home as a CNA? Is it worth a try?

Where were you thinking of going to to get your cna? Red Cross or one of the ones advertised in the paper?

I am right behind you on the waiting list for January. I have been looking for something to do part time in the medical field while going and while waiting to get into school. I had thought about taking the CNA class that starts in October until I called the nursing counselor and she suggested that I wait for my seat in the nursing class so I wouldnt miss out on anything with my group. She said when you take the CNA course ahead of time, you get to opt out that part of the LPN course but miss out on some of the lectures and class time. So I am patiently waiting but getting very anxious.

You are waiting for Erwin right? I just called and they are through number 10 so far. Looks good for us for January or March. Hopefully January.
