Smoking weed and CNA job?

Hey people, how goes?

I was recently searching online for career information, and noticed that this 1-semester course for CNA (certified nurses assistant) is only like $650 total at the community college. I have a scholarship that will pay for that, and so I was wondering if anybody has any experience as a CNA?

I'm considering going for this since the training is short and there is a demand for this job. However, I'm certain that any kind of job in the medical field will bring along random drug tests and pre-employment drug screens. This is the problem; since I am a medical patient with documented medical issues , and a recommendation for medical marijuana, how would I get around the drug test? Secondly, do most CNA employers randomly drug test their employees? I'm guessing so, but there *might* be some hope..

any input is gracoiusly appreciated:thumbsup:

PS- im from around the east bay, california.

Well my friend who is a CNA here in MN said:

Dreamo: but yea they don't do randos unless the suspect... and you have to be tested to be hired
Dream: i probably just barely passed
Dream: O:-)
Dream: i thought i had about a month before it was going to happen, and it only ended up being less than a week
KL: so they suspected?
Dream: no no
Dream: you have to have one initially
Dream: to be hired
Dream: but after that they would only do it if they suspected that you were on drugs or something happened at work kind of thing

that is rad! thanks man. i'll keep this in mind for sure.

Yeah.. same with my ex-girlfriend. I should warn you, though.. it's a bitch job. She rarely enjoyed it (though on her way to becoming a Dr).
