Cna Vs. Medical Assistant

[gkbroaro]

What is the difference between a CNA and a Medical Assistant? If I am trying to gain appropriate skills before attending nursing school to become a Nurse Practitioner, what would you recommend I become--CNA or Medical Assistant?

Thanks!

I was thinking of doing this. But with all the math and english class i would have had to take i don't think it would have been worth it. So i did cna and i am going to do some computer class's and hope to come to the same outcome. We will see how it goes. My main thing right now is to get a job. Then i am going to go back to school and take more class's.
