Well though some very well meaning people have suggested it be somewhere that makes you happy ,,But to get a job you have to
!) have some type of experience or
2) they are willing to train you
Look for things you have experience in
or find someone who says "Willing to train "
And then the big one ,,Transportation ,can you get there
be on time ,,consistently
ready to work ,,even if other employees annoy you
I got my girls to go to college ,now they are nurses
Some states will help you go to school and there are "fast track training schools "
Get you ready for a state board ,,though some places do require 2 yrs of experience too
But once you have a PCA license you can always be a sitter
someone who is just a companion ,but also does light duty things ,,then you can say you have experience a CNA job around the corner
Then places like the VA will pay for you to go back to school to become a full RN and you only have to agree to give them 2 years ,,,not a bad trade for a job always in demand
