    A year after I graduated HS, they started making students aware that you should go into health in order to make money. High schools put in nursing programs. None of that stuff was around when I graduated. Today’s youth has a bit of an unfair advantage in the job market. For this girl, she has more than CNA. Someone, maybe her parents, determined her fate into these various certifications. I don’t find it “normal” that she succeeded this well. Something unusual about this. spoonfeeding fatalism?

    You are a idiot. A CRNA, certified registered nurse anesthetist preforms anesthesia not a CNA. and trust me the crna’s go to school for 8 years just like MD would. I am one and trust me they dont pay me $230,000 for nothing.

    Yes CNA and PCT jobs can be stressful meaning you will have some very stressful moments but the stress does not last the whole 8 hours. You will need a lot of patience, compassion, and some type of mental tricks to keep you calm during the stressful moments. The stress mainly comes from the lack of teamwork and racing against the clock. 50% of the job is in not being late and not calling off (reliability). Its best if you can work 12hr. shifts which gives u more time off so u wont burn out.

    Do you want an MD or a NURSE to administer your anesthesia? Seriously. Think about it.

    CNA is a field that i am thinking about attending school for this summer. Since you are a CNA i was wondering if you can tell me whether or not you like your job.
