Job leads for new CNA, Chula Vista and surrounding areas

Published

I recently finished an accelerated CNA program, and passed the licensure exams. It's been a month now, and it seems like it's hard to find a job esp without work experience yet. I've applied for (3) three jobs; 2 (online) -- a wk ago, and 1 (in person) --a wk and a half ago. I have yet to hear from them. All of these postings with a minimum requirement of at least 6 months to a couple of years of CNA working experience in acute, SNF or long-term care...

I'm actually easy to work with, and easily get along with any type of personality, and very skilled. I finished the program with an A grade, only one of the few from the 20+ students. I mastered all 22 skills, and was 'at home' during the clinical. I'm ready for work!!!

Anyone has leads? Please let me know...

Just keep filling those apps out and someone will call, look into assisted living and home health also. What state are you in?

Reo Vista, Shea, Activcare, also try out some adult day cares, Ryan's way or get into private care. I am actually in private care and they pay so much better. I am also applying to the acute care cna program from swc so that I can one day work as a cna in a hospital. You might wanna look into it if you haven't already.
