What is the difference between a Medical Assistant and a CNA and why do CNA’s find jobs faster?
Matter F asked:
A medical Assistant goes to school for 14 months and a CNA goes to school for 6 weeks. But CNA’s get all the jobs.

cna’s – certified nursing assistants – work hands on with patients (like bathing, feeding, turning, vital signs, etc) a medical office assistant works in a physiciancs office and does alot of handling of paperwork, scheduling and mostly front/back office duties.. cna’s are also needed alot in hospitals where they have patients rooming there so its easier for them to find jobs because theyre needed so badly and do all the dirty work

I am going to school now to become a medical assistant. MAs usually work in doctors’ offices and clinics but can also work in hospitals. As a MA you work right under the doctor. You are able to give injections and draw blood. You can do EKGs and vitals. CNAs are nursing assistants, you usually work in hospitals and nursing homes. You can deliver and pick up food trays, clean up messes, change beds. You don’t really have any medical training. CNAs usually get jobs quicker because there is such a high turn over rate, a lot go on and become MAs, LPNs, or RNs. Good luck to you if you chose this type of work.
