Yes because CNA is a lic. .. MA how ever is not but even to be considered you still need training on the matter . After all you would would not want to give out the wrong meds. right ... MA or Medication Aide classes only take about one and a half mos. , and CNA or Certified Nurse Aide takes about one month on average . As for labor and delivery well you ganna need some college for that , but most community colleges do have courses to help you to obtaining your goal . Or at the very least get you pointed in the right direction . I hope I have at least help you a little ... Tim

Thanks for the replies. I have 5 children so I think that helps with being able to assist people with their personal needs and I love to be around people and am very social. It has just been so long since I have been in school though--I am 37 - and I am afraid of failing classes--my biggest fear, plus I wasn't the greatest in school. But being an adult now I am more willing to put into it what I have to and most people regret the way they "studied" in high school and wish they would have focused more.
