Certified Nursing Assistants........question?


I am starting this course come Jan. 08. I am wanting to continue my education from a CNA to a LPN then eventually become an RN. I would really like to work in the Maternity Ward once I become and RN. I have always wanted to work with babies. My question is being a CNA is their any work that could be done on the Maternity Floor? I really don't want to work with the elderly, that may sound mean I know but I would prefer infants. Another question please, while taking the CNA courses at a State College, what could I expect? What kind of training? Thanks for your answers and time.

At the hospital where I work, there really arent CNAs working there. The nurses do all the patient care. Why dont you work as a CNA on a general medical unit, and then move to the maternity ward once you have your RN? I believe a CNA course is a 6 week course, where you learn general patient care such as bathing, walking, transferring patients etc. It is a fairly basic course for the most part.
