On the medical scale who is higher than who, MA or CNA ?

Question

I would like to know which holds a higher position? A CNA or a Medical Assistant or are they equal but in different catagories?

Answer 1

well a cna only has to take a test to become one, no REAL schooling and they make like 8.50 starting out and they wipe peoples butts all day.  i wouldnt consider them a real nurse.  they are basically a medical assistant.  they get the crappy jobs that the real nurses dont have to do.
