Loved it. My knees didn't.  It can be very rewarding. It is hard work, very physical, very emotional. It is hard to be a caretaker, even in a temporary situation like a hospital where patients come and go every day, without getting too attached and keeping appropriate boundaries. The nurses supervise. The CNA's are who interact all day every day.\n\nYou can definitely make a difference in people's lives. It is a beautiful thing to be able to come to a person who is scared, vulnerable, and maybe even ashamed and make them feel special. Being able to handle death is a plus. Remeber, it is as natural as being born.\n\nIf you are continuing an education in nursing, the path is a lot easier with CNA work under your belt.

Begin at the community college, then transfer to a university.\n\nI know someone who took nursing assistant classes at a vocational school--the results were not impressive.\n\nThe community college should have career tests, to get an idea of how you would do.

Where is the medical center at, is the big question??  But I do know the CMA would make more, nursing assistant, pt care tech.  I know for my area but I do think that it depends on your experience and the area you live in.

usually about 2 weeks, you will most likely be working in the clients home, hence the name home health aide.  CNA's work in most nursing homes.

Im trying to decipher what you're looking for. Is it an accelerated Paramedic course? Or an accredited course?\nWhat you need is a bridge course. (bridges the gap between RN and Paramedic) I know of one in my area, Northwest Ohio. Anywhere else, I am afraid I don't know.

I hope you mean Certified Nurses Aid, not Certified Nurse Anesthesist.   You could also be a laboratory aid, a phlebomotist, an X ray assistant, a driver for a medical lab, ER tech. list is only limited to the openings in your area.

I'm guessing here that you're asking about:\n\nCNA  = Certified Nursing Assistant?\nCNA = Certified Nurse Aide\nCNA = Certified Nurse Assistant\n\n\nIf this is correct here's a couple places in the KC Metro area:\n\nhttp://mcckc.edu/home.asp?qlinks=CNA+Programs&C=4\n\nhttp://www.jccc.net/home/depts/1243\nhttp://www.jccc.net/home/catalog/default/toccareerprograms/careerprograms/VC-CNA\n\nMy best to you\n\nBill

A High School or GED diploma is a must.  Next step is to complete specific course work leading to your career of choice.  One year of schooling at a technical/vocational school should enable you to get your foot in the door as a Nurses Aide.  A two year Associates degree will earn you a Licensed Practical Nurses credentials.  A four year Bachelor of Science degree will earn you the designation as a Registered Nurse (RN).  The more education you complete, the more money you will make.  Registered Nurses are in high demand.  The annual income of a Registered Nurse is three to five times that of a Nurses Aide depending on geographical location and areas of specialty.\n\nGood luck with your career of choice.

I don't know about Texas, but where I live in California, some of the convalescent homes offer free certified nursing assistant classes. I don't know if there is a catch to these free classes (like maybe you get the classes for free but you have to agree to work for that particular convalescent home for a certain period of time once you graduate from the classes). Might be worth checking out if you have some convalescent homes in your area.

Male nurses are called " Nurse Assistants" and "Staff Nurses" and otherwise identical names for grades up to when they reach " Sisterhood " - here they assume the title of "Charge Nurse" to avoid being called " Sister " (or "Brother", I guess). Unfortunately, above this, as some do get, there is no male replacement for the "Modern Matron" and thats what they must put up with-.
