Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/06/2012 -- According to financial analysts, the medical profession has not only remained steady during the current recession, it has actually grown even stronger.
Despite the shaky economy, people still need access to high quality medical care. This, combined with seniors living longer lives, means jobs in the medical field are more in demand than ever.
One career that offers fulfilling and steady work is a certified nursing assistant, or CNA. They help provide care for the physically injured or disabled patients, as well as those with mental health issues. CNA jobs are typically found in hospitals, retirement homes, assisted living facilities, and mental health wards. Some also work as direct care workers.
