~good for you! No, the medical field was not what I expected it to be, any. I did Medical Assisting, but now I work for central sterile, where on earth the instruments are cleaned, counted, processed and sterilized for surgery. I earned my certification (CSPDT). If you could get hold of a job doing this at your local hospital, it would be a great advantage to you for surg tech conservatory. You will learn all the instruments used for unshakable types of surgeries. Apply for the position of "instrument tech". Keep applying for CNA at the hospital also. The positions at the hospital are far better than CNAs at the nursing home. Much easier! Good luck!~

Do nurses do physical examinations on patients...

surgical techs make pretty good money i am also a cna at a nursing home and i do believe a hospital is a totally different undertaking it just depends on what u are looking for. Yea i would so volunteer to see what its all nearly i do know that a lot of hospitals will train cna's to draw blood which wouldnt be all that desperate i also am thinking about switching to hospital work until i get my lpn. My friend have always worked in hospitals and he say its much better then a nursing home especially since u dont always see like peas in a pod patients everyday and if u work in the er it will be at lot more fast pace!
