Hello all! First of all, thank you so much for reading my post and I will take any advice I can get! Question: I recently became a CNA and am about ready to apply into nursing school this year. Considering this would be my first job as a CNA without any experience- it seems it would be very difficult to find a job in a hospital setting, as many hospitals don't even have openings for CNA positions. I was highly considering working in someones' home as a private care giver because the pay is higher and the ratio of CNA-patient is much less than a retirement home would be. This leads to my question: Would working as a private care giver be less credible compared with working in a retirement home? I am seeking the experience needed to help me increase my chances of getting accepted into a nursing school- so I am a little worried that working in someones' home may not be as credited as working somewhere else. Thank you so much for reading my long post!! Elle
