Can an LPN get a job as a CNA?

[Blackcat99]

I am an LPN who wants a full time job in Florida so I can get medical coverage. I saw a site that had state jobs listed. Only one for LPN's and it was only for part-time. However, the state jobs listed for CNA's were for full time. Would I have to take a CNA class and get a CNA license in order to get a job as a CNA? Or could I use my LPN license? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks:D

The reason I posted my response was not to say I would never hire a LPN as a CNA, but just to let you guys know what I am thinking when reviewing an application.
