Failed NCLEX, need a job, can I be a CNA in CA?

Published

I failed the nclex twice and in california, it costs $150 to reapply to the Board (BON), and another $200 for the exam at pearsonvue. Im currently repaying loans, so my savings are drying up fast!

Is it possible to become a nursing assistant just with a bachelors in nursing degree? Do I need to take the certification test? I have heard that current nursing students do not need to take the CNA test, like at UCLA hospitals. Is it possible for me to do the same? I graduated in 2011. I have a part time catering job, but it isn't enough. I want to become a CNA because it will also help me get a job as an RN once I pass that nclex.

Please help, and thank you!

P.S. if you can, please direct me to where I can find out more about my current situation.
