After completing a state-approved education program, nursing assistants take a competency exam. Passing this exam allows them to use state-specific titles. In some states, a nursing assistant or aide is called a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), but titles vary from state to state. Nursing assistants who have passed the competency exam are placed on a state registry.
Before weight training, take about 10-20 grams of whey protein to enhance muscle strength, increase endurance, and decrease muscle breakdown. After your workouts, go with 20-40 grams of whey to enhance muscle recovery and boost muscle protein synthesis. You should also consider taking 20-40 grams of whey protein as soon as you roll out of bed. This will stop the muscle breakdown that occurs as a result of fasting overnight.
I have another article on how many grams of protein per day you should eat when trying to lose weight while preserving muscle but in order to focus on gaining muscle you do need a little more. In that article I suggested eating 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. While this will certainly help you maintain muscle (assuming you are doing some type of resistance training) the number should be a bit more when trying to gain muscle. You can gain muscle eating 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight but I like to play it safe.
