CNA with own apartment?

Does anyone has a CNA have their own apartment ? I'm just curious because im moving to Tennessee I take my board test soon and after that I'm relocating...the only problem is it's hard trying to find a roommate and I don't trust a lot of people to be very responsible. So I just thought maybe I may have to get a one bedroom apartment I seen some for 500$ but I want to know if I can do it on a CNA salary in tn..I'm from ca and the pay here is not so bad..especially in san fransico ca. I'm thinking a full time job with a partime job on the side.

    I'm not sure how much you make but I make 15/hr and I am able to pay my 650/ month apartment.

    Why don't you start out renting a room for six months or so while you look for an apartment situation and then move when you find the right place at the right rent? If you can find a room to rent on a month to month basis, that is even better, because then you can move sooner.

    It's hard finding a room to rent..most people want people with a job..but I'll have money saved up..after I told someone I'll be jobless but I'll have my rent paid each month she never spoke back..I don't trust people.especially moving to another state...that's why I said one bedroom people are picky with roommates

    For short term, you could stay at a residence hotel, such as Marriott Suites, or something. But those are very expensive, less so than a regular hotel room, but still expensive. I lived at Homestead for a couple of years, they raised the room rate twice while I was there. Still, for short term, like three or four weeks until you find a place might be ok. Good luck.

    When I first started out, I rented a studio apartment which is basically one large room. It had a small seperate bathroom and one large room with a small counter area with a sink and a fridge. I put my bed in the opposite corner.

    In an area where decent one bedroom apartments ran about $650. a month, I paid $400. a month for a studio apartment.

    You may find that a lot of apartments will expect you to have a job as well. I've lived in 3 so far and they've all required me to be currently employed. They'll ask for recent pay stubs to prove your income. Just something to consider. Some will take a letter from a new employer stating your expected annual salary if you're moving from out-of-state.

    That's what I'm going to do..I spoke to some landlords and they told me they will just call my new employer.
