No, but I would suggest you apply at a LTC facility. When I got hired they didn't even know when I graduated, but I told them I was a new CNA. I didn't work for 11 months after I got my certification. Most places will just be happy to have the help.
Good luck! CNAs are needed!!

Agree with the previous poster. Try to work in a LTC area. After you have some experience, if you want to, go for acute care. Most places will jump on you! You learn most of your stuff "on the job".
