Thanks for your info nursejoy1. I just want to make it clear to everyone that I don't mind the work of a cna, I just don't want to do it for my whole job!! If anyone can answer my questions instead of keep telling me this that would be great!

I don't mind doing ADL's, I know I will be doing it sometimes when I am a nurse, but I don't want it to be a job that I do 20 times a day. Like you said the few exceptions would be urgent care or a medical facility which is what I 'm trying to find out if CNA's can work and be trained there for small jobs other than ADL's. Thank you for your input!

I was thinking of sitting or home health, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the idea and reply!

I have some questions below: 1. I haven't gotten a job as a cna yet and I wanted to give it a try, but I have forgotten some of the skills and am worried that when I am hired I will not know what to do. Do you have anything to say on that or is there any way I could freshen up my skills? (I took the cna course last summer and am certified by the state.) 2. Do clinics such as Prevea, Bellin, or Aurora Baycare take cna's? If they do what rolls do they do? 3. Is there a facility that takes cnas for children or any other facility for cnas other than a hospital or long term care? I am asking these questions because I want to work as a cna but I hate all the messy work that goes into being one. I was hoping there would be a cna role that would do different things. I was thinking about a hospital but I am afraid that I will mess up on lack of knowledge and I just don't care too much for the messy work that goes into doing that. I always thought that there were cna's that worked in clinics or hospitals that got trained to do different work and different roles. I am working on getting my bachelors in RN and need some extra money so I thought of trying a cna role. Thank you!!
