Job hunting and Cna resume ...need some help !

[akire1123]

HI , I live in Boca Raton Fl and I took my board exam last September and I passed :) , due to a car accident I couldn't look for a job because of the neck pain . little over a month ago I took a job , It is a customer service job , something I did in the past but not what I wanted it , now that I feel much better I want to look for a Cna job but I don't know where to start !!.. I have no experience as Cna and I am a little intimidated by it ..

Also Can someone help me on salary wise ?? well when I go online to apply , it asks .. how much are you looking to make ? well I don't know since I am entry level and no experience ..

please any advice to get my foot in the field I gladly appreciate it. :)

thanks .. Akire

Hey there I'm in your shoes! Just got my first CNA job filling out the paperwork and taking the drug test tomorrow. Well when I applied since I had no experience I would write "Negotiable" or "starting" under salary. I would say money is better with hospitals then LTC then nursing homes. Expect to make like 11-13hr at a hospital then if you work night shift about 1.50hr more if weekends then another 1.50hr. I got my license in July have been applying got my interview begining of November and am just now finalizing it, I was told that hospitals take a long time on the hiring process which turned out to be true for me.. GOOD LUCK!
