I work for a home care agency for about 11 years now as a hha or pca. I also have a District of columbia cna license. thinking i would get hired threw the company i been with for all thses years as a cna. i was told that i dont have the experience to work as a cna at the company. I was told i have to work in a nursing home to get the experience then i can apply for at home care agency. my question is can i work as cna part time at a nursing home or do i have to work there full time? how long will i have to work at the nursing home? six month a year help plz!. Ive heard some really bad story about the cna that work in these nursing home. not all cna, how they treat the clients. Am really dreading working at a nursing home because if i see someone being mean to a client i might go off.

You can work as a CNA part-time. I work only a day a week because I'm a college student. Not all nursing homes are bad. I work in SNF/LTC/Rehab but it's not so bad. My coworkers aren't the types that leave people in their urine for the whole shift. Our only conflicts are about who's passing out trays, who keeps hogging the robo-nurse, who leaves trash in all the rooms, and who charts in the wrong column because they are in a rush. It's usually not about bad treatment at my place. :)
