cna license number question...

Published

I just found out my CNA license number through the Arizona Board of Nursing online verification website today which is awesome because I have been told no one will even consider hiring me until I have that number (yes I have applied to numerous places anyway)...My question is, do I get some type of card in the mail or is it all online?? :confused: No one told me if I would be receiving anything by mail or anything with my number on it for that matter. I really need a job and may be getting hired soon with a nursing home but they stressed that they need that number. So is the online verification good enough or am I supposed to be waiting for something by mail? Ahhh, I have been through so much and just wanna start working already!! lol, thanks to those who answer.

Your online number should be good enough. I don't have a card and I've worked as a CNA at 2 different places. I was told you can order a card but it costs $. Good luck!

how long after completing your CNA course did it take to find a job?

I am starting the CNA course in April and was wondering how long I should expect to be out of a job for...

thanks for your help!

I do not have a job yet...it has been hell trying to find one. I guess it just depends on location. Living in such a big city like phoenix, finding any job right now is just ridiculously hard, at least it has been for me and those without experience. Don't mean to be discouraging just letting you know my situation and how many others are having difficulty finding employment. If going for your CNA is something you really want than all the best to you...keep us updated.

It took me about 2 months to find a job. I searched on Craigslist and finally found a job at a rehab. facility where I worked for 6 months and then got hired on at the hospital.

Im ok with the idea of working at a nursing home, but after I get a job and experience I do want to work in a hospital...did you find it difficult to land a hospital job?

Yes it was very difficult. I finally got the email for the recruiter at the hospital and just kept on bugging him until I got an interview. It helped to have some experience for sure. Good luck!

Sounds like I better start saving money if it takes a while to find a job...

I volunteer at a hospital...so I am hoping that will help me get in based on the relationships I have built...

cross fingers...
