I know that almost everyone (if not all of you) on this forum is part of the EMS system and are only EMT (Basic, Intermediate, or Paramedic) but I am looking at getting my CNA cert along with my EMT-B. I know what you are thinking, why get go for a CNA when I am already an EMT-B? The reason is the market is flooded with EMT-B in my area (Sacramento, Ca) and it is harder the snot to get a job as an EMT-B (to get into the paramedic program you have to be in the health care field for one year or more before they will even look at you at the college that I am going to and that is why I am getting my CNA cert.) What I would like to know is what do CNAs make in California and would having my EMT-B helps me out in getting paid more or have an upper advantage of getting hired?
