CNA Train the Trainer Class

I'm thinking of enrolling in a certified nursing assistant train the trainer class this fall.

I would like to work about 30-32 hours per week doing teaching.(I have a BSN and nursing experience). I would like to know if anyone has taken this type of education and found employment working full time or at least 30 hrs. I have searched the "want ads" and noticed mostly part time employment for instructors or nurses who teach. I wonder if part time hours are related to the economy or if this is typical for certified nursing assistant instructors?

    good question to ask the school. The CNA courses around here are only 6 weeks long and the students do not attend class every day. All instructors I know (CNA, Nursing, etc) have nursing jobs and do this PT, unless they are hired to be the lead instructor and teach. Even some of the lead instructors have PT jobs since education does not pay.

    In my area part time hours are the norm. A nurse I used to work with teaches the CNA classes now, and loves it. She is limited to a specific number of hours she can work however, so has to have a second job to make ends meet. Her second job is in Home Health because it offers some flexibility in scheduling. The only full time position in teaching the CNA class at our local community college belongs to the program director.

    Look into LTC facilities in your area. Many do their own CNA training. I am CNA instructor/Education Director at my facility. I transitioned into this position, but have seen others hired into similar positions at other facilities. Good Luck.
