W&A Clinical Gigs That We (and Medical Schools) Love: CNA

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA): This job will require a 4-to-16-week state-approved training program at a local community college or through the Red Cross. It will also involve major grunt work. And guess what you need to get used to? You'll be responsible for multiple patients, taking their vitals, making sure they're moving, eating, and drinking water. You'll work closely with a medical team. You don't have to work full-time, and the hours are flexible. It's also a paid gig, and actual clinical jobs can look more impressive than volunteering. We've never had a client who was a CNA. And it's no wonder—it involves taking a test, it's low-paying, and it's hard. But that's why we'd like to see an applicant write about this role.
