Can a medical assistant go to school and get a job being a CNA?
-
I went and completed Medical Assistant school but it has been VERY hard to find a job... I want to work in the medical field and start going to Nursing school.. but I wanted to work in the medical field while in school.. my question is, if i go to school to be a CNA can i get a job doing it if I am already a Medical Assistant??

Answer:
A CNA is a specific certification / license that the state grants. So if a job description says it wants a CNA, you need to hold that license from the state. You might be able to get a job as something in that similar role but without the CNA title - like patient care associate / technician. Contact your state board of nursing to see if you would be eligible to test-out for the CNA license since you have completed MA training. There may be exemptions so that you wouldn't have to go through a CNA program. Good luck.

A CNA works in a hospital or nursing home. It wouldn't interfere with a MA. Hopefully, you can find a CNA program that offers the classes for free.
