  • Answer:

    A hospital is probably not going to hire you right after you get a CNA certification. You will need experience or a very impressive resume.A nursing home will though.... You have to gain experience before you can start to move up and suggest areas you'd like to work, its highly unlikely that they'll let someone with no experience work in a maternity ward

Certified nurse assistant trainning is about 2 months part time or two weeks full time in most places. I haven't personally seen any CNA in the maternity wards I've been to. RNs usually do everything. Dealing with babies and pregnant woman is delicate and most likely only people that are highly skill are hired for that department. If you really like babies, you can probably try working in a day care.

You might see if local hospitals offer training as a patient care assistant. If they train you, you are more likely to be hired on at that institution, and it just depends on if there is an opening on a maternity ward. Most likely, you would be helping new moms get up and about after giving birth, making sure they don't pass out in the bathroom, making beds, passing meal trays, taking vital signs and so forth. It would be highly unlikely that you would be taking care of any newborn babies. The pay will vary with where you are located, but generally the benefits are very good.
