Is it in the trachea, or in the mouth?   It really depends where it is. More than likely they will have a feeding tube that goes to the stomach through the nose. obviously they will be on O2. Otherwise the CNA cares are the same as for a bedridden patient. turn every 2 hours, bed baths and such. Feeding the resident will be left up to the licensed nursing staff.

Actually, the best thing would be to become a CNA or certified nursing assistant. Sometimes hospitals will take you and certify you there. You could also try being a PCA or personal care attendant. If you are interesting in going into nursing I would encourage you to get some hands on patient experience since it is usually a lot different than people expect. Stocking shelves is a lot different than draining urine from a catheter bag...you get what I mean? You might be better off getting a job at a Long Term Care facility or nursing home, they usually need more help than the hospitals. Go to your locate hospitals website and contact human resources.

LPN I think can give injections?  I think a CMA can only to sugar testing an things like that.  I might be wrong :(\n\nLPN stands for licensed practical nurse \nCMA stands for certified medical/medicine assistant.  The next step down would be CNA (certified nursing assistant), and the next step from LPN would be RN.  A CMA can pass meds, but I don't think they can do injections.  And I seem to think that a LPN can't start an IV, but an RN can.  Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

CNC is Computer Numerical Control and NC is Numerical Control. CNC is very cost effective\n\nCNC is the most prevalent in industry, today. Typically, the CAD data base is downloaded to a machine readable file. The Programmer/Machinist programs the machine tool to following the exact configuration of the part. The Programmer must select the proper cutting tools, speeds and feeds of the cutters and cutting lubricants to be used.\n\nCNC machining provides virtually defect parts and produces finished parts in a fraction of the time as compared to other processes.\n\nHowever, the initial set time and costs are high, but, the high volume production yields the lowest cost possible.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nMav

Here is a list of all Florida schools for CNA training:\n\nhttp://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/cna/lst_training.pdf\n\nIf I were you, I would find a nursing home / facility / hospital that you notice is always looking for CNAs. Then, I would offer to them that you will work for them as a personal care assistant while you are in CNA school, if they pay for your school. If you graduate, they will pay for the entire thing and, in return, you will sign an employment contract for a year. If you do not graduate, you will work as a PCA for two years.\n\nIn other words, you agree you will work for them for one year after you get your CNA if they pay for your schooling. \n\nYou may find that they already have a similar program, or that they can refer you to a place with a similar offer.\n\nIf you are young enough, you could always join the Navy Reserve and ask for nursing training (corpsman training) from them; they put you through the school for free. You're likely to be called up, is the only drawback there.

i don't know about the laws in your state but in mine (az) you have to be 18 years old and certified to work as a cna. most hospitals will only allow volunteer work at your age.

i don't think there's a big difference between the two, the only difference is that applied associate degree have more units in comparison to associate degree. which means that the applied associate degree last longer than the associate degree.

Look around online, or in your local newspaper. There's a lot of CNA jobs opening here, but I really don't want to be a CNA for long, so I'm looking in different fields.\n\nGood luck!

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

The training and work of a Medical Assistant is focused on the outpatient medical office environment. In contrast, Nurses (LPN and RN) are primarily trained to work in an inpatient acute care or long-term care medical environment.

Well, it would be something you could always fall back on.  The medical proffession is always hurting for people so you would always be able to find a job.  Also, the money you earn as a CNA could help pay for Vet Tech schooling.
