Can nursing students work as nurses aides without being certified?

[elatrosbear]

I'm hopefully starting nursing school this fall, but I haven't had any nurses aid training. Will I be able to get a job as a nurses aide or do I have to be certified?

Hello,

Health is very important for everyone so in my opinion it could be risky without nurse certification.Certified nurse's aides may be fantastic nurses, technicians or doctors.

Thanks..

Even if you are just a nursing aide, It is prerequisite to have your certificate. This is to be sure that you have knowledge in taking care of the patients. People will trust you if you have a certificate.
