I am trying to find a job in Charleston, South Carolina and I havent been able to find one. I have been searching for a few weeks now and I have not been successful in my searching. I certified a few weeks ago as a CNA in the state of Kentucky. I have not been able to find a CNA position.

I'm sure you can, there's a severe shortage of health care workers everywhere.

Actually, the best thing would be to become a CNA or certified nursing assistant. Sometimes hospitals will take you and certify you there. You could also try being a PCA or personal care attendant. If you are interesting in going into nursing I would encourage you to get some hands on patient experience since it is usually a lot different than people expect. Stocking shelves is a lot different than draining urine from a catheter bag...you get what I mean? You might be better off getting a job at a Long Term Care facility or nursing home, they usually need more help than the hospitals. Go to your locate hospitals website and contact human resources.

do a research on the nursing shortage.  How bad is it really?  what are the stats?  When will it reach epidemic porportions?  What are the states and federal govt. doing to try and curb this shortage?  Who will affect the most?  What kind of solutions do you propose to gain interest in this profession?

actually yes i went to apply as a waitress at a nightclub for extra money and the owner told me that i needed to be TABC licensed.  So i went and got my license and took it to him.  He told me that i wasnt the body type he was looking for. (I'm a little thick no barbie, think Brittney Murphy before she was anorexic).  I told everyone I knew and it finally got back to him about 2 weeks after i applied he called me and offered the me a job but i was already hurt so i declined his job offer.

As long as you have a pulse, it's never too late. I'm 32 and looking into Registered Nursing. Just got out of the Military after 12 years. My ex father-in-law sold his successful Alarm Installation business at age 45 and became a flight attendant for a year or so. Then opened up a Sub way. He has 8 of them now. Follow your dreams grasshopper.

Florida is not a good state to work in as an anything.  It is a right to work state.  Most employers (not all, but most) have this crappy attitude towards their employees that is difficult to comprehend.  I have several friends who are CNAs in Florida.  They work long hours for low pay.  It is difficult to get in somewhere other than an ALF, because that is where the need is greatest.\n\n\nOn the other hand, as a CNA you will most certainly always be able to find work in Florida.  There is a shortage of caring, qualified health care professionals.  And there is that awesome weather....

I have some friends moving there and she's been looking for a job.  There is supposedly a very large job market there.  Not only many jobs available, but many good jobs.\n\nIt's a great place for someone on the east coast looking for decent pay and willing to relocate!

sometimes after applying it may take awhile to get a response.  I used to work onboard and it took 6 months before I heard from two of them, using their online applications.  An option is to find an agent that specializes in getting people jobs on ships.  I am not sure where to find them but they do exist.  Norwegian Cruise Line Ships that run in Hawaii hire entirly Americans and you might have a better chance with them.  The position you are applying for will effect the hiring process because certain things like Casino, Spa, hotel, bar and shops usually hire outside the US and have recruiting agency's in other countries.  So hopefully you (if your american) your interested in entertainment/activities position otherwise it will be a rough going.

I am the HR director at a Home Health Agency, and know that companies like ours are always looking for dependable help.  You can often get an entry-level position with limited or no training (as a CNA - certified nurses's assitant or equivalent).  Once you're in, you'll start to build experience and can decide where you want to go from there.  \n\nHowever, your goal should probably be a nursing home or residential living facility as Home Care is not exactly stable (people end up hospitalized, etc.).  \n\nAlso, have you considered working with people with disabilities?  There are agencies all over looking for good employees (check out the ARC - Association for Retarded Citizens http://www.thearc.org/).  \n\nBest of luck!

I had the same issues for the past 6 years...fortunately I dont have to work but the job market is not very good right now...I would try rewriting my resume and use connections to help with the search.  I dont think its you I think its the market...If those things work then great and if not no worries keep looking...trust me the job market ispoor right now.

besides the b---s--- what type of job are you looking for.  What can you do?  I still couldnt hire you but I could have been more helpful to point you in the right direction to find work.

How about trying to Google a certain cruise line and maybe finding their phone number and ask them about any job opportunities.    Good luck!

I live in your area and yes it is very difficult to find employment.  Have you tried Manpower?  They can put you on assignments until you find something more permanent.  Good luck to you!!

My sister went through job corp and she's a CNA now. She said it's a good program and teaches valuable job skills. The best field to get into is medicine or truck driving but there are other choices just as well paying and are excellent career choices. You get an allowance and free food. room, and there are good instructors. You should go in now because you're already 24. Have you considered joining the military?
