Stupid question...

What is a CA? I am a mere new grad nurse, and in a conversation I spoke to someone about a girl in her unit that was a "CA". What's that stand for?

Featured Replies

cancer

Short for "carcinoma"? Or maybe "care assistant"....

Care Assistant (cna)

clinical administrator...

At my hospital the CA is somebody that oversees bed assignments hospital-wide.

Care assistant or clinical administrator?

Stands for clinical associate at my hospital.

care associate

... a person from Cali...LOL, the question was not so silly after all

Oh..... CA= Care Assistant. Yeah, she was talking about a position at the family practice office she works at. So, it's the same as a CNA? Why the difference in the acronyms?
