A economy theory that could land you a job.

Lately, I have found myself searching websites such as craigslist, monster, etc. Occasionally I will do this to get a "feel" on the CNA job market. Recently, I noticed there to be a higher demand than usual for CNA's in Florida. I pondered this thought and came to the conclusion the economy must be to blamed for this. Following 2005, the time at which our economy was the worst, CNA jobs were available, like always. However, as the years progressed and the economy grew, so did the need for CNA's. Why is this? My theory is that in the 2005 economy collapse people who once had high paying jobs where in such desperate need of a career they chose to become a CNA. I'm not saying becoming a CNA is bad, I'm just explaining the need for jobs when the economy collapsed was greater and people would take any good job they could get. Now, since the economy has stabilized many people have left being a CNA to return to their normal callings. This great for everyone else because pay increases with demand and right now CNA's are in high demand. So if your thinking about becoming a CNA, now couldn't be a better time!

Requirements for Florida Nurse Aides

Requirements for CNA's vary from State to State. However, out of all of the States Florida seems to have the most relaxed requirements. For example, you are not required to have a High School Diploma or GED. You are also not required to have any clinical hours under your belt.
One of the requirement is that you pass a background check. If you do have a criminal record you still might be able to get away with obtaining certification regardless. Felonies, on the other hand, will most likely disable you from obtaining your certification. This will all be at the decision of the nursing board. Other than all that the only other requirments are passing your State exam. Good luck!
