This is really fascinating coming from the United State’s perspective.
Now, let me share my knowledge from a Canadian perspective in terms of CNA 1 and CNA 2.
CNA 1 are workers who have received no previous education or training prior to being hired. They are considered “Untrained” and they are are trained on-the-job. Being a CNA 1 is fairly hard because in order to be hired and be trained on the job, you need to have Connections with either CNAs already working at the Facility OR have shown competency when providing care to patients. Otherwise, your basically a walking Liability to employers who’s trying to hire people.
On the other hand, CNA 2 are trained and have gone through CNA schooling (typically 5-6months depending on the program) and they have the training and knowledge from the school that they attended to so they are more sought after and they have a better chance of being hired since they’ve received and went to school for their CNA (but honestly, Connection is still Key to being hired).
The Main and Number One difference between the CNA 1 vs CNA 2 is actually the PAY per hour of these two.
CNA 1s generally are paid about $1-2/hr LESS than CNA 2s... In addition, CNA 1 often times don’t get any raise for their wage base on the number of hours they have worked compared to CNA 2 which are eligible for a raise once they’ve hit a certain number of work hours.
That’s basically the only difference. They do the exact same job as one another and the job has no differences. What a CNA 1 does, a CNA 2 can do and vice-versa.
I should also note that some school offer a “Challenge” program that’s exclusive to CNA 1s who has completed a pre-determined work hours (around 500-1000 work hours) in order to challenge and be eligible to become a CNA 2. These Challenge programs are about 3 months in length once a week and then at the end, there’s a Final Examination that you must pass with score of or above 70% and also pass the Practical exam AND do a Practicum week at a facility. When this is all done then you can now transitioned from CNA 1 to CNA 2.
I hope that helps in some way and was informative. Have a nice day!
Never heard of the LNA. it was interesting how u explained it. Yes they may as well do the CN2. I too started from the bottom up. Plus I know a doc who started as a CNA became a nurse then went to Med school. That was so cool to hear!
Ok, this is completely false, at least for the rest of the united states. What he was saying was "false" is actually true in every state I've ever looked into including my home state, Oregon. Coming from a CNA2 I can tell you both CNA 1 and 2 can BOTH do vitals and CNA2's work mostly in the hospital where they are trained in acute care. We do vitals, CBG's, d/c IV's, d/c foleys, record pain, place EKG leads-12, 5, and 3 lead, newborn hearing screenings, newborn CHD screening with spO2, assist with breast feeding, and some others I can't think of off the top of my head. CNA 1's go through a training program, get fingerprinted and background checked and then if you wish to work in acute care (hospital) you take another course for your CNA 2. One thing I've heard about CNA 2's in some other states is they can do blood draws but that is not the case in Oregon as of my writing this comment.
i think alot of it is what state you live in
When I was a CNA 1 in NC I still had to do a fingerprint and we still had to do schooling. They aren’t untrained. They just don’t have clearance to do all of the things like draw blood, sugar checks, wound care. Etc. Pretty much they can only do the basics
Several incorrect statements in this video. Cna's do have to register for the state registry. There's a written and skills evaluation. Plus $140 to even register for the test.
Not necessarily incorrect on his behalf. His information is pertinent to his area. There are different requirements for different states 🙂
I’m a CNA II in TN. In my state, as a CNA II my scope of practice is much larger. I work in the ER and I’m allowed to do many things including peripheral blood draws, glucose checks, ekg and enemas.
My local community college tuition for the CNA1 is $2,500 then with an additional $995 and a $165 criminal background check and drug screening you can get the CNA2 added to your certification. There's no difference in pay here (southern Oregon). The only difference is the type of work. CNA1s typically work in LTCF vs CNA2s work in Hospital/Acute settings. Again no difference in pay.
I forgot to mention that as a CNA1 we're usually expected to have 100 hours classroom training and 75 hours clinical training then pass both a skills exam (3-4 skills) and knowledge exam (80 multiple choice questions) for the (Oregon)state board of nursing it costs $107 for the test and a fingerprint background check $76 on top of the $2,500 all before we can work as a CNA1. We usually have to work 6-8 weeks as a CNA1 before we can register for the CNA2 classes they consist of 60 hours classroom and 28 hours clinical typically all unpaid. If you're lucky the facility you work for might reimburse you for the testing and licensing fees.
I didn’t even know it was a CNA 1 or 2 either lol..
PLEASE make a video on how to survive as a CNA. specially with all the smells, body fluid, getting bossed around, etc
Will do
oh the good ole days
Thanks for the info
idk if the do fingerprints in north Carolina
Finally someone from Arizona I can ask. Does it matter if you do CNA or LNA through career Academies/colleges as a short route since you will take the same state board exam at the end?I’m interested in home travel & caregiving
Since you will be taking the same state board exam it does not matter. Just make sure it is the same exam. Thanks for supporting the page 😄😄😄
Yikes LNA they would not like to be called CNA 2
They have no right to be offended. Cna is longer and more in depth schooling
Illinois doesn't have cna two
