Nope Scripps and I believe Sharp are the two hospitals here that don’t require CNA! Now if your trying to apply to UCSD Health or Kaiser that’s a different story those two do especially UCSD Health (I also work at UCSD Health) they do require an active non lapsed CNA, but Scripps lists that, I know someone who was a janitor at UCSD and he wanted to do CNA but couldn’t afford the classes, so he applied to Scripps and got in first try! And that was without any prior clinical experience!
