I heard some states have you perform 5 skills, well don't hesitate! You will do fine, as I said just make sure when your performing the clinical say everything that you are doing, for me it worked out better than I thought. As far as job searching, there are many out there. I just got hired on as a dishwasher at a senior retirement facility, needed the money asap! I'm going to go out this week and apply to as many places as possible. Craigslist is good to find jobs, care.com is good if you want to work under the table. By the way, what state are you from?? An additional certificate?? From what I hear they are not even doing HHA training anymore, I really don't see the point of it... that is just a waste of time lol! I will have to look to see if CT offers any additional training, like how to work people with different disability's. But honestly, if your goal is to get into nursing school, working as a CNA is a great advantage. If you can work somewhere where they have nurses, better chance they will hire you on as a nurse once you get through school. It's different everywhere, in CT there going to train PCT to administer meds in the near future from what my instructor said. I totally wish I did this right out of high school, I'm only 22 but shoot 4 years goes by sooooo fast! Let me know how everything goes, I love hearing others experiences!
