oops, i was thinking CRNA...
in Tulsa they did have a pretty good shortage of RNs a couple of years ago, not sure if they still do
That's not the case here in Houston.

That is a major accomplishment! Congrats to her!
That is the biggest load of crap I have heard in a long time! Not talking about you saying this...but the info you posted.
When going to school as an RN, they earn more than just their RN degree.
When they are first in Nursing school they learn the basic care of a patient. That is all the CNA learns in their classes. (I know, I took the classes and I am working on getting an RN degree).
In the 2 year RN degree, you are a CNA first. Then a LPN next, and then an RN.
How a Registered Nurse couldn't get a job as an Aide is crap! They have more training than a CNA and they are in charge of Aides and LPNs.
I think it has more to do with the classic over qualified than not having Aide experience.
Skip Bayless, is that you?
And Homer...congrats to your wife.

Wow.. that is so not the case here. I can put an ad in the paper for 2 weeks and have 1-2 RNs respond. Definite shortage (especially of good ones) in the home health field.
To the original poster, congrats to your wife on the CNA. Let her know her work is not restricted to hopsitals and nursing facilities. She can take that CNA license into home health and hospice (better pay and conditions) and work for 90 days while being "grandfathered" into a CHHA (Certified Home Health Aide).
Actually, "grandfathered" wouldnt be the correct term here. The agency itself is allowed to train her and the she is able to go and take the CHHA certification test (its easier than a CNA, which makes zero sense) and she then would possess 2 licenses/certifications, one doesnt replace the other.
Just a little FYI : )
She has thought about taking the Home health care class next, but we have a freind who is in the Home health care. She goes to place's I would not dream of sending my wife.
She goes to places i would go in broad day light without an armed escort.

I feel ya, ran into that a few times over the years but too much. It really depends on who and where your referral sources are, that seems to kind of dictate the area you service. We're fortunate to be in some good areas.... didnt plan it, just kind of worked out that way over the years.
Good luck to her on the job search, shouldnt have much trouble finding one.
OUHOMER, also was thinking about this.. home health is huge in the Assisted Living Centers now, as is Hospice in the nursing homes. There are several agencies that will plant an aide or two in a facility with an 8-10 patient load for 8 hours a day.
The facilities love it because it relieves them a bit... the employee doesnt have to drive all over town and makes better money than the facility employee doing basically the same job, and the agency has someone in direct contact with clients at all times.
We've never done it because I'm concerned that it pushes the envelope as far as Duplication of Services goes, but I know I'm in the minority... most home health and hospice agencies are going that way it seems. Food for thought anyways.
My wife made better than that this year(third year RN).

Just talked to my friend who finished her RN but couldn't get a job at one hospital as a CNA. They told her she needed aide experience, tho she feels they wanted a true aide, not an RN who would quit at the first opportunity.

Thats what I would think too. I just don't see a Hospital turning an RN down to do a CNA job. But then again, I would too, since the RN would want more money than the Aide.
Sucks to be her. Tell her to go stateside and get a job. there is a very large demand for RNs. Or ask her if there is a traveling nurse job there in Hawaii that can could get.
