I have read several of your posts and you seem very nervous about your training etc. I understand what your going through but you should try to calm down a bit and have a little faith in yourself. If you look at things you have said in your post you will see that you may need to step back and see what you could do to help yourself. I think you should have taken the job at the nursing home. Even if you only worked once in a while you would at least be on their payroll and be able to list it on your resume. If a position comes up in their facility you could have applied for it, now the person that will take your offered position will be there when the available full or part time job comes up. If they offer you CNA trainging you should have taken it. They usually pay you while you train and give you a job. They also pay for your CNA exam, even if you never used it again you would have it to list on your resume. You havent even taken the exam yet and have these opportunities. Remember that if you are working there when you take your exam and you dont pass the first time you can retake it and still work while you study. I volunteered for a month at a hospital and it helped me land my job. Good Luck

Cmm4ever,

I agree with what JerseyMA said..you should take that position even though it is only prn. And do think about the CNA. Not sure about situation in NY, but here in Florida CNAs are in demand. I sometimes wish I would have taken CNA instead of MA. I would probably have been working a year already. Anyway just something to think about.
