What is the diffence between a medical assistant,certifed nurses assistant and LPN?

tyre or training,area of work.do they work in schools,group homes,childcare,home health etc..What job would you prefer?

Please try: http://www.nursingmasters.com They have lots of good information on various nursing degrees both Bachelors and Masters

about two dollars difference per hour...otherwise they basically do the same work with diff credentials

Im not sure about the medical assistant, except around here they only work in big hospitals.
The difference between an LPN and a CNA.....a LPN is a longer course in which they are licensed. They can do a lot more than a CNA and is usually in charge over the CNA.
The way I feel, the CNA does the dirty work. But the cna is the one that has the closer relationship with the patient/or the residents.
It depends on the state exactly the difference in Job descriptions

THE DIFFERENCE IS ABOUT 30,000 A TEAR

all are underpaid for the type of work that they do...the LPN has the most schooling and is closer to RN licensure. the medical assistant and certified nurse assistant are entry level with no chance of advancement unless you get your License as an LPN or RN.

Education. Also - pay scale and licensure.
