6. Call the different hospitals you would like to work with and ask them which nursing registry they use. A nursing registry is like a temp agency, and it is easier to get hired with a registry. If a hospital staff member calls off, the hospital will call the registry for a temp CNA for the day. Also registries pay more too. The downside is just that you don’t have set work hours.
7. You can try any group homes for children, elderly or the disabled.
8. In some states, CNAs can work in the prisons and that would be under state jobs.
9. Also, if you are already accepted to nursing school, that can be a marketing tool. Some hospitals will hire you as a nurse aide, nurse tech and will even assist with finances if you agree to work for them as a nurse upon graduations.
10. Keep up with all the most recent openings in the CNA field.
