In general, in Florida Certified Nursing Assistants ( CNAs) provide direct patient care. Throughout Central Florida, including Orlando, a travel CNA goes to the home of the patient or health care facilities like hospitals, nursing homes, and assisting living facilities. Some of the CNA’s duties include helping patients with activities of daily living related to personal care (Bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out the bed or a chair, walking, eating, and more). They may also monitor patient’s health, administer medication, assist with basic health care tasks and assess patient’s condition. As a traveling CNA your duties are similar to the ones mentioned above. Traveling CNAs is becoming a more in-demand profession in Florida.
Most traveling CNAs work for an agency that specializes in home health care or staffing companies.
Traveling CNA jobs in Florida requiere a CNA license. To obtain a CNA license in Florida, one must successfully pass the CNA Florida state exam (written and clinical), and the required background screening. Employers also may requiere a valid driver license and a clean driving record. Ability to travel is obviously a must. Some jobs may involve local traveling, other jobs out of state traveling. Some traveling CNAs work in more than one location. The job may be challenging, but rewarding. The hours can be long, but the pay is much better than traditional CNA jobs.
In the state of Florida candidates may challenge the CNA state exam so taking a long and costly class is not required. Taking a short CNA prep class is a more effective and affordable way to get prepared to take and pass the exam.
