CONGRATS! pretty fantastic for you:) but your friend !?! ugh....my daughter is allergic to latex and adhesives..........and she's in school to be a respitory therapist!

I got a CNA job at my local west campus hospital, wanna know the best part? Im not even certified!! They hired me because I have clinical experience and my background is clean.... I will work 3/12s and they will work around my school schedule which starts in July. I start this Wednesday, and i am soooooo excited! :) My bff told me about the job but she hasnt been able to actually work because she keeps have allergic reations to the gloves so CNO sent her home I just hope she gets it together, she is taking the class now and i added her to my cell plan eeeeek! Wish me luck and i hope this is a job that lasts and gets my foot in the door and on my way to Nursing school! :heartbeat

Congratulations and best wishes!

Thanks all

I've been working as a NA since 95 and, (with a ten year break due to health reasons) and recently got back to work for an AFH and I've never been certified, either. I am registered, though. I've been told that as of now, (2012), it's completely your own choice whether or not you wish to become a CNA from an NA-R. But, who know what will change in the future, though.
