CNA at 16?!

[Gr4ceffa]

Hi, all! I've lurked around on some other posts about this topic, and I realize the age requirements are different for all states, so, my question is, would someone be able to receive their CNA licensing and work at a nursing home at 16? Thanks all!

hookyarnandblanket,

Thats what I gathered when researching online, you were able to be granted your license at 16, but must be 18+ to operate lifting machinery, they didn't specify what states them rules were valid in, which is the reasoning for this post, I'm im Wisconsin. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it greatly!
