Hi everyone, just thought I'd share and ask for some advice. I have been taking care of my grandmother for the last few months - she had memory problems, and it all somehow changed my attitude to the elderly. I realized that it is not a burden for me, but on the contrary - interesting. I started to think, maybe this is something I should do seriously. I read about CNA, and it doesn't seem that hard to learn. But where do I really start? Where do I go to school? And then where to look for a normal job, so as not to run into nonsense?

To become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and start a career in nursing, follow these steps:

1. Meet Basic Requirements – Be at least 18 years old (in most states) and have a high school diploma or equivalent.
   
2. Complete a State-Approved CNA Training Program – Enroll in a certified program that includes classroom instruction and clinical practice.
   
3. Pass the CNA Certification Exam – Take and pass your state’s CNA exam, which includes both written and practical (skills) sections.
   
4. Get Listed on the State Nurse Aide Registry – Once certified, your name is added to the official registry, allowing you to work legally as a CNA.
   
5. Start Applying for CNA Jobs – Work in hospitals, nursing homes, or home health settings to gain experience and begin your nursing career.
   

This role can also serve as a stepping stone toward becoming an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or RN (Registered Nurse) with further education and training.

 started spontaneously for me, too. I'm from Brazil, I came to Pennsylvania three years ago. I was helping an elderly neighbor, and I enjoyed it. Then I took a CNA course - the training took a couple of weeks, nothing too complicated, the main thing is practice. And I found a job pretty quickly. If you're interested, check out the vacancies on https://carepointpa.com/jobs/caregiver/. They just post current caregiver jobs in philadelphia pa - you can choose by schedule, neighborhood.

Just happened to see this discussion. Interesting topic, especially now that more and more people are thinking about the meaning of work. I don't have a medical professional in my family, but I have always respected those who choose to care for people - not everyone can do that. I think it's important that now there is access to information and you can find out everything in advance, not go blindly.
