    has one heard aabout this for CNAs? i got a job interview at a home with 8 residents in it but before you get the job, you have to shadow shift. Another CNA evaluates you and writes down how well you perform your duties and follow instructions and at...

    Hi. I had a couple of questions for everyone! When you finished your CNA course, how long did it take you to find a job? I've had multiple people tell me that after submitting a job application, I should call HR and follow up and bug the crap out of ...
