Urgent Care CNA Jobs Overview

Urgent care gives you the opportunity to work in a variety of clinical practice areas and to have direct patient-care experience in a dynamic healthcare setting. To be successful as a CNA in urgent care, you’ll need to have strong interpersonal skills and attention to detail as you interact with patients and help the medical team assess conditions and deliver effective care.

As you build your nursing career, it’s helpful to know that there are a wide range of job opportunities available to you, and any number of nursing paths you can take.

Education and Certifications for CNA Urgent Care Jobs

To be qualified to work in different CNA jobs — urgent care or otherwise — you need to complete a few basic requirements. The first is to have a high school diploma, or equivalent. While additional college-level education will help you to grow in your nursing career, it isn’t required to become a CNA.

However, you will need to complete an accredited CNA training and certification program. Whether you’re looking to work in an urgent care clinic or in another type of acute care, CNA training will provide you with the nursing foundation you need. While not always required, additional certifications like Basic life support (BLS) will help your chances of securing a competitive job. Check out our sample CNA job description for more ways to build up your experience and make your application an easy choice for a hiring manager.

Resume and Cover Letter for Urgent Care CNA Jobs

Once you’ve completed the steps necessary to qualify as a nursing assistant in your state, you’ll need to create an appealing application to submit to prospective urgent care employers. Having a CNA resume that speaks directly to employers’ needs is key to getting on their radar — and through the filters on their applicant tracking software.

One way to do that is by paying attention to the words and phrases used in a job posting and making sure they appear in your resume. For example, if a job posting is looking for a CNA who can “maintain a safe and sanitary environment for patient care,” then that phrasing should also appear in your resume, if it applies to your experience.

Once you’re through the resume screening, the other part of your application involves preparing a CNA cover letter that’s tailored to the specific urgent care job you’re pursuing. Your cover letter serves a variety of functions, but its primary role is to introduce hiring managers to who you are and what you would bring to their team. The cover letter should give employers an idea of why you’ve chosen the nursing profession, what clinical and soft skills you have and how they will benefit their clinical operations, and why you want this job, not just a job.

Interviewing for CNA Urgent Care Jobs

Interviewing is almost always the most stressful part of the application process. It’s understandable as there’s a lot riding on it. In just a short window of time, you have to make a great first impression, develop a rapport with complete strangers, and try to present yourself in the best possible light while also acknowledging areas where you need improvement.

The good news is that you can take steps to prepare for the interview that will not only increase your confidence, but also your chances of success. First, research the urgent care facility and the people who will be interviewing you. The more you know about the organization and hiring team, the more opportunities you’ll have to find areas to build rapport and shape your message during the interview. The second way to successfully prepare for an interview is to study common CNA interview questions and answers. This will also help you craft effective answers and build confidence leading up to your interview day.

Salary for CNA Urgent Care Jobs

Working as a CNA, you can expect an average annual salary of $39,610 (about $19 per hour). This will vary based on the clinical setting where you work, your specific experience level, and the state where you work, among other factors. Here’s a list of locations with some of the highest average pay for CNAs:
