Hello everyone, my name is Steve(I assume first names are ok) and I am a PC technician. Where I am located in Northern New England there are not many jobs in my field, so I have been debating trying out another. My ultimate goal is to become a law enforcement officer, and I figured maybe experience as a caregiver or at least general medical experience would help me attain that goal. I guess the place to start would be with what I am interested in, which is a CNA certification. I know that many of my questions could probably be answered with a internet search, but there are so many conflicting answers and generalities that I figured I would ask the experts and maybe get a few direct answers. I know the basic idea of what a CNA is expected to do, but are there any specifics to expect, or specific job types to look for? How hard is the actual CNA to get? How long would it take, and how much would it cost(I would prefer to forgo college as I am still paying off the loans I have now)? What is it actually like on the job? Anything else I should know? I am sure the answers will lead me to ask more questions, and I thank you for your time. -Char
