Are there any CNA's that have been able to find a job easily without having taken a formal training course? I challenged the CNA exam here in Florida and passed last week. I didn't take a training course because I just didn't have the money, so I studied really hard on my own. I bought a couple of study guides and watched videos and practices on friends. I also volunteer at a hospital, so I got to observe CNAs on the job.
I'm really worried that I won't be able to find a job because I haven't taken a formal training course. I just want to know if there is or was anyone in the same boat as me.
