To specificially answer your question - or rather point you in a direction where an expert could answer it - why don't you ask your local job center what they think of online degrees. Check your phone book under government services and give them a call.
Practically speaking, I think that you'll find that CNA's are in very high demand, with one reason that there's such high turnover at most facilities. They end up doing the worst jobs on the nursing scale (as opposed to orderlies) and have the lowest pay, although it's usually enough above minimum wage to survive. I'll warn you that I've heard that working in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and recovery centers can be soul-sucking. But I've never worked in the industry, so what do I know.
Good luck!
