Q: Anyone Who Is a Cna

How old do you have to be to take the course and what type of work do cna's do? I am turning 18 in less than a month and I was wondering if I could possibly train to be a cna or do I have to wait until i'm older?

Basicallu cnas do the "dirty work" that nurses dont like to do. Change beds, diapers, bathe, feed, clean. It really depends on where you work though. There are lots of cna jobs in nursing homes and assisted living. You have to be able to deal with people and have lots of patience. Its hard work, but pretty good pay.
