Hi everyone, I want to become a CNA and wanted to know how do I become one? How long will it take? I have read that CNA's have to change bed pans alot. I have a very weak stomach and to me this sounds pretty bad and don't know if I can handle doing this. Was wondering if any CNA's wear a mask when cleaning stool?

Hi everyone, I want to become a CRNA and was told that I should spend a few yrs. in SICU. I was reading in the general discussion stories about poop, vomit, and mucous. I don't think I can deal with those kinds of substances, even if I tried. My question is do you have to deal directly with these substances? Or do you have assistants that take care of these substances? Some insight on this issue would be extremely helpful,thanks.

Hi everyone, the junior colleges around here require taking 1 yr of classes before I can get accepted into the nursing program to obtain an associates degree. Is it like this everywhere? I always read that it takes two years for an associates degree and four for a bachelors. It seems in my case that it would take 3 yrs. for an associates and 5 yrs. for a bachelors. Any insight on this would be very helpful, thank you.
