CNA job - Long-term care facility

[fluffycookie1231]

I received my CNA license in July. I still have yet to get a job for it, and I worry it will reflect on my application poorly. I am applying this cycle and I have a few interviews lined up in October and January (both DO and MD).

I have been looking for a PCT/CNA job in a hospital or clinical setting but most are full time positions, which I believe I do not have time for since I am a scribe. I scribe all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I would like a part-time or PRN position if possible so the two careers do not interfere with each other.

I was looking into long-term care facility jobs. I found a few that are PRN. I love working with older-adults and actually am interested in pursuing geriatrics. However, I also understand a lot of long-term care facilities have poor management and I worry for that. I was a DSP/in-home care aide for 2 years, and the poor management makes me hesitant to ever return to home health.

Any advice on my situation? Should I apply to these long-term care facilities?
