text: Definitely!  In fact I'm guessing that most of the staff in nursing homes consists of nurse aides.  I am one myself but I work in assisted living.\n\nTo work in a nursing home (also called skilled care) you have to be a Certified Nursing Assistant.  Do some research and find out where in your area there are classes available for this.  After completing class work, you will probably have a "practical" experience which means clincial training in a nursing facility.  After doing this, you take a state test to becoming certified.  Good luck!
