How do you go about becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant in a meternity ward?

When becoming a nursing assistant, do you only need to take a certificate program? Also how much does a nursing assistant usually make? If i was toget a job at a materity ward, would i just apply to the hospital once i get my degree/certificate?

Do any of you work in the maternity ward as a nursing assistant? What do you do? Do you work with the babies at all?

Thanks! =)
