Best Answer:
You probably won't find a job as a "CNA" in pediatrics, but by taking a phlebotomy course, you have a better chance of being hired as a "paraprofessional" in the peds unit. By paraprofessional, I mean a "nursing tech, "clinical tech", or pediatric care tech". In addition to doing what CNA's are trained to do, these techs draw blood, do sterile dressing changes, EKGs, and have a little more responsiblity than an aid does. They are usually found on units that don't have LPNs or CNAs.
A:
Phlebotomy is a short course, but pharmacy techs might make more money.
