Thank you all! I have been working there almost a month now, and I'm finally starting to get the hang of it:yes:. Still a little nervous though.

Thanks everyone for all your advice! Also, maybe I should have clarified more, the facility i work at is both rehab and ltc, but is transitioning to all rehab. At the moment we only have one hall that is long term care, the rest are pts sent from the hospital there for therapy. I do hope to get a job as a CNA in a hospital. I am going to take an EMT class, so I will also try to get a job as either an EMT or an ED Tech at one of the local hospitals. Again, thanks for all the help and advice, I really do appreciate it!

Hi all!! I am new to posting on here, so please forgive me if this isn't in the right section, or has already been addressed. I finished my CNA classes in the beginning of July and now have a job at a LTC/Rehab facility. I took CNA classes to get experince in the nursing/medical field. I enjoy my job, though at times it is tough. My question is, other than working as a CNA, is there any other thing I can do to make myself stand out once I start applying to RN jobs. I have plenty of time, I start pre-reqs in a week. I have heard it is difficult for new graduate nurses to get jobs. If anyone has any advice about what I can do, I would appreciate it very much! ***Also, I am most likely going to take a EMT-B class in January, but I will continue working as a CNA while doing so.

I took my CNA exam today, and thankfully passed! I also got my first job at a nursing home! I only have my clinical experience, so I was just wondering if anybody had any advice about the real world of CNA work. All I know right now is clinical experience and the little I saw during them.
