Smoking weed and CNA job?

[IanCurtisWishlist]

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

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).
