Best Answer

CNA is a certified nursing assistant...usually takes about 2-3 months to complete the courses needed to obtain employment as a CNA. A CMA on the other hand is a certified medical assistant and can take anywhere from 1-2 yrs to complete training/school. CNAs usually work in LTC (Long term care) facilities or even hospitals, while CMAs usually work in a doctors office setting. CMAs also do more office work than a CNA, which is mostly patient/bedside care.

CNA is a much shorter amount of training and you wouldn't be able to do all the things a RN does. Many people become CNA's on the way to getting their RN because it is a good way to get on the job experience.


Can a CNA transfer from Tennessee to Florida?

I have been a CNA in TX, LA, KS, NB, nad NM. You can always transfer your CNA. The difference between states is whether they are recipriocity (a simple transfer of your certificate between states) or if you are required to re-test. Simply call the nursing board or the place you intend to work and they can tell you what the requirements are. PS...I was able to to transfer 4 of the 5 and only had to re-test in KS. GOOD LUCK
