CNA's OR ANYONE HELP PLEASE

Published

hello everyone. just need a little help. i've been certified as a nursing assistant since september 2007 and have been applying to numerous jobs all over the creation. from mercy all the way to saint chris' and nursing homes in between. i have used the internet and phone book as my resources applying and calling almost everyday since 2007. i feel exhausted and as if there is no hope. from all the stories i thought it would be easy to find a cna job. however it seems as is i was wrong.:bluecry1:

so with that said i was wondering would any of you ladies and gents know of any places that would possibly consider hiring a not so fresh out of training cna grad????? its been over a year now. :o

what a waste 1,700 dollars i payed to red cross they did not have any job placement at all!

i work for an amazing organization called jevs, its a nonprofit organization with numerous programs that always need new people to help care for our consumers/patients. try their website...jevs.org. the program i work in is called clhs...it is a program that offers housing/group homes for people with mental disabilities, mainly MR. i dont think you have to be licensed to be one of their "direct care givers" but they are an awesome company to work for, they take care of their employees, and im pretty sure we need some more people to help. check it out. let me know if anything happens. i hope this helps. good luck, im sorry you're having so much trouble finding a job.:wink2:
