How well do you have to be in math to get a job as a CNA, CMA, or an EMT?

Not much math at all.  You'll have more fun as an EMT and if you persue CNA, get your CMA right afterwards.  You'll need a GED or Diploma for that.  CMA makes more money, and you don't have to clean up poop.  The math won't matter unless you want to go for LVN, RN or Paramedic.  All a CNA does is showers, getting pople dressed, feeding them, and cleaning POOP.

I am not a CNA.  But people like to be able to help others and being a CNA is a start into the medical field.  Don't stop there.  Go for your LPN and work in a hospital or medical that offers tuition reimbursement.  Let them help you financially through nursing school.  CNAS's are at the bottom of the ranks and other nurses will treat you as such.  Expect more for yourself and don't stop there.  Good Luck.

You'll also need at least an undergraduate degree. You will also need to take the MCATs.

most places require you to take the college course before you can be hired or they require at least one year of prior experience.\n\ni live in tempe but work at good sam hospital in phoenix.\n\nmost of the schools here in az provide financial assistance-look into the pell grant program-it's government money that is provided to you to pay your tuition and you DO NOT have to pay it back. Mesa Community College should have this program and they offer the cna course. Gateway Community college is another one that has the cna course. Call either one and ask to speak to an advisor about how to apply for the grant.

Get a job in a nursing home. They usually pay for the CNA classes since they are always hard up for aides. Once you get your certificate move on (which is why they are hard up).`

Of course you can go to college for premed and learn a lot. But if you want to get going right away volunteer for ambulance duty or become an EMT. Then you'll know if you like it and you'll know what to study.

It really depends on what you will do in the future. Many careers involve Algebra. Other than in some careers, you don't need to use it that much in your everyday life, but it is handy to use in some sticky situations. Algebra is not needed all the time, but it is good to have.

math and algebra are in every profession , advertising you have to pay for whatever you are advertising , you have to work with a budget , you have to figure out if it is worth the cost for the product you are selling , you have to form focus groups and take detailed notes and compare stats . and once you get paid you have to pay your bills while budgeting for necessities

Depending on your local EMS, but most states require you to be 18. You don't need a high school diploma but you will have a hard time getting hired besides the interfacility companys. You can take the EMT course you just can't be certified by your state. Don't be discouraged, being an EMT is a great stepping stone to any career. It shows responsibility, ability to handle stress, dependability, and maturity to be able to handle emergency situations.

Maybe you need to clarify what kind of certificate you mean.  There are several jobs though where you can get a certification that is valid in the civillian world.  For example all medics take the national registry exam and are EMT-Basic certified.

Hi! I am a high school math teacher, so I can answer some of your question, but not all.  Why? It depends on the state that you live in.  ALL states require a bachelors degree in math education.  This is four years of math classes, general ed classes, and teacher preparation classes.  The math classes you take would be a full calculus sequence (3 or 4 calc classes), linear and abstract algebra, geometry, analysis, and a mix of some others such as math history or number theory (again, depending on the college you go to). Your final semester would be student teaching, where you pay your college tuition, and then you are placed in a junior high or high school classroom to practice teaching. Some states (NY for example) require a masters degree, which is two more years of college.  But you can do that after you have started teaching. I live in Utah, and we only need the four year degree.  Hope this helps!

i started out in the registration department when i first entered the hospital field. It's an easy job and the shifts aren't bad-basic requirements are good customer service skills and basic computer knowledge-having some medical terminology background is good too but not required. job involves interviewing patients that are being treated in the hospital. either in the pre-surgery area where patients check in prior to surgery or in the emergency room.\n\na cna is a good job as well since you have to have your cna classes taken before entering the nursing program-all hospitals need cnas.\n\nsome hospitals have a program where you can shadow a registered nurse and get paid for it. the hospital i work in has it-the official title here is a nurse extern. the requirement for this position is that you already have to be enrolled into an RN program in college. they allow you to do everything a registered nurse does under the supervision of a licensed nurse. check with your local hospital to see if they have the program.\n\ntransport is another option but if you want to be a nurse-you won't pick up much learning experience nurse-wise in this position. it mostly involves transporting patients from their room to a test, transferring patients from one floor to another or assisting patients to their cars upon discharge.\n\ni worked in registration for about 4 years then transferred to the cna job-which i enjoyed b/c i'm in trauma icu and i learned ALOT. now as a nurse extern-i get to take care of my patients and cannot wait until i graduate and have my license!!\n\napplying is fairly simple-just go into the human resources department at the hospital of your choice and ask to see the list of job openings. most places will have the job along with the requirements,type of shift (day,nite..8 hours or 12 hour shifts), and the requirements listed. some hospitals will also have websites where you can look up the job listings-just google the name of a hospital in your area and the website should come up-once there find the link for employment opportunites or careers.\n good luck to you!!

You'll need a shitload of math - heavy on calculus,\ncomplex variables with electricity and special\nengineering math.

In college, the math is much different.  There are basic classes, and specific classes.  Marketing will require Statistics.  My biggest nightmare and I'm good at Math.  I suggest you get a catalog from your university(s) of choice and check our the curriculum requirements.  Most universities and colleges have them posted online and you can see exactly what will be required.
