    sourapril replied to whatwasithinkinglol's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    sourapril replied to mashamontago's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  16. Anyone here too "small" to become a CNA?

    sourapril replied to ciarline's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The only thing I can think of that a "small-sized" CNA can't do it by herself is transferring, but in most cases, you need at least 2 people to transfer anyway. I am 5'3'' and have a small frame. I...
