How do I find info on CNA work?

Published

I am a 30 yr old dad in LA and I have a plan on how to pay for nursing school tuition and my kid's private school. I am nervous that I am starting a career change and have no experience in a hospital setting. I would like any information on becoming a CNA to gain confidence and make some extra scratch.

Look into programs at the local community colleges or the regional occupational centers. As a last resort, find a nursing home that provides CNA classes. Once you become a CNA, you can find jobs by first targeting where you would like to work. Then go to the websites for employment: monster.com, careerbuilder.com, indeed.com, etc. Also, the EDD has their website: CALJOBS. You can start applying at the places listed in these sites. Alternatively, you can get a phone book and look in the yellow pages, then start going in person. It won't take you long to get a job as a CNA. Good luck.

Saw your other thread and realized you meant LA the state, not the city. You will want to access the employment dept. in LA unless you care to relocate. Lots of CNA work in LA LA land, but most of the places don't pay spectacularly well. Again, good luck.
