I check the Carribean Life free newspaper (found at some banks, supermarkets), nursing homes, New York Presbeterian's website-nyp.org, other hospital websites and mostly agencies. Also Sunday Daily News and post has some CNA jobs.
I hope you find a job that gives you a schedule that accomodates your class schedule!! Wish you well!
ahh babbz thanks also..i dont see why some jobs dont work with your schedule to better yourself..are you west indian by any chance..i'm guyanese
I go to school evenings, with classes after 6:30pm everyday so I MUST get a job that allows me to continue with my nursing school. That is a priority. CNA is just a stepping stone and I would sooner get a 9-5 clerical job to continue w/ nursing school than quit nursing school to get a CNA job, lol, ha, ha.
The offers that I had were 7am-7pm schedules and these would NOT allow me to continue w/ college so I am looking for a 7am-3pm/8am-4pm schedule so that I can do it. I really want to be a CNA and continue direct care work w/ patients. The experience in a hospital or nursing home will help me as I do my nursing clinicals.
