You won't be able to get a CNA job without a CA CNA certificate, but possibly you could get an NA job. That is, if the job is available. At close to minimum wage, it would not be worthwhile. Best to take the time to study for NCLEX. And do not be expecting work to be plentiful. For years now, experienced nurses and new grads have been having a hard time getting work in CA.

I will be graduating in May 2010 and moving to Los Angeles. I currently live in Missouri and I know that here, new grads can work as nurses prior to taking NCLEX. I am wondering if it is the same in California. Can I work as a grad nurse in May if I do not take NCLEX until June??
Thanks,
Claire
