has anyone ever got a job as a CNA while in CNA school. I was wondering if it could be possible to get a job now or if i should wait until i'm certified? Should i go ahead and start applying? I'm really ready to get myself out there!

Start applying after you begin the clinical portion of training. Don't wait.

My husband and I are currently in CNA clinical and we were wondering the same thing. A lot of the CNA's at the hospital we are doing ours at are saying yes do it now!!

I waited until after I was certified but over half of the people in my course were guaranteed jobs at our clinical sites and other places. Some of them even started before they took their state exam. Go for it!
