Do CNAS HAVE TO DRAW BLOOD?

[sandra0511]

Hello, I'm a PCA, and I'm ready to start classes to become a CNA, but I don't want to draw blood I don't want nothing to do with needles.

Do I have to use needles?

I'll be working in a doctors office after I get certified, but as I mentioned I don't want to use needles. I live in Las Vegas Nevada. I like this profession but the only thing that I don't like is using needles.

Thank you in advance.

No, CNAs are not allowed to touch bodily fluids according to California law. They are not even supposed to be handling clients that have open wounds without an RN around.
