I’m looking to become a Certified Nurse’s Aid. I could use advice about going for a CNA? What to expect ect.

I have just retired from 32 years as a long hall trucker, and I'm looking to start school in a few weeks, to become an RN.
In the meantime I’m looking to become a Certified Nurse’s Aid and snag some work in a nursing home.
I could use any advise you may have about going for a CNA?

You would need to take the required courses and the national certification exam before you'd be considered for a position and if you want to be a CNA. There are programs taught at regional occupational centers. Some community colleges may offer this program. If you're starting an RN program in a few weeks, you will not be able to complete a Nurse Aid program within that time frame. I don't suggest entering the two programs concurrently. Focus on the RN. And if there's anything I can help you with, let me know.

I reread what you said and you stated you're "looking to start school". Does this mean you've been accepted into an RN program and will start in a few weeks, you're starting classes to fulfill your prerequisites or you're just hoping everything will somehow fall into place?
