I've been a CNA (per diem) for a little over a year now. I really want to move on from this job to something else healthcare related that is not butt-wiping related. Don't get me wrong, I really like working with my residents but I feel like I can do more. Also, I should mention that I'm not trying to be an LPN or an RN, I only took up this CNA job to get some experince in healthcare while I try to figure out what I really want to study in healthcare (and not nursing). With my CNA experience, what can I progress onto? If I need to study something addition, I don't want to invest too much time (like a year). I was thinking taking a phlobotomy and EKG course to be a patient care tehnician, but I heard that it's basically the exact same thing as a CNA, so it doesn't make sense to throw my money away. How about hemodialysis technician? ALSO, I have a Bachelor's of Arts in Biology that I got this May. Please give me some tips...and remember NO BUTT WIPING
