I have been an STNA for 3 years, I started when I was 18. Currently I work with 4 other STNA's who are 17 years old. They cannot work any overtime, and cannot work between 11pm and 6 am due to curfew.
This is a wonderful job to get into, especially if you can find a nursing home or hospital that is willing to work with your schedule, especially when you begin your RN studies.
Working as a CNA at 17 is definitely not unheard of just be sure you maintain a professional attitude and you'll be fine! Good Luck!
A:
yes, you will get hired. i know of several 17 year old cna's. you are in demand.
