CNA requirement after 1st quarter completion?

Published

My school requires a CNA PRIOR to acceptance to the program. IF the school accepts a student, sends a letter of acceptance with no contingency in completion of a CNA license (the school is fully aware that the student does not hold a CNA) and accept Federal funding (GI Bill) from the VA, can they remove the student for not having it after completion of the first quarter? The student is passing all 4 classes with flying colors. Also, the State does not require a CNA. Would it be adviseable to get a lawyer?

what does this mean? "has now had their leash yanked." I suspect the first part of your post is correct.

I really need to reword my comments about the CNA :/. I'm so sorry - I do not mean anything negative toward CNAs. I simply mean that "that" attitude is not going to get anyone a nursing degree. Nurses are kind, empathetic, compassionate, and HELPFUL....Red Kryptonite was none of those things...to you, I apologize for the comment, it was not meant in the manner it came across.

I did pass all classes with flying colors and I believe there was a personality conflict with the admin assistant of the program. My problem was that I was the ONLY person she called out on the missing CNA - "policy" states that you must have an ACTIVE license. There were 4 of us that either did not ever have a CNA license or it had expired. I'm pretty upset however, I have decided to move forward and attend another (better and accredited) university that does not require the CNA. :(

True. I am very much the same so I guess that is why I am so offended by the school's acceptance of me with no stipulations. I was a last minute applicant and was accepted right away -

You are correct. My comment to RK was frustrated - there has been nothing helpful and I should have just ignored that person. My apologies. And thank you for the advice...I have elected to withdraw and am attending another program in the fall. Do schools really do that to their students??? Pick the ones they want out and push? There are 6 of us in that situation.

I m certainly not the type to drop any work on anyone. I have always and will continue to go above and beyond. I will certainly NOT see a patient soiled or in discomfort and say "let me get a CNA for you." That to me is despicable. I have had 2 grandfathers in the hospice setting in the past few months and watched both nurses and CNA's put duties upon the other - the only people that is truly injurious to is the patient, and I was baffled. I would not treat someone's mother, father, sister, daughter, brother, grandparent, husband or wife that way. It is not the requirement of the CNA that is troublesome - it is the fact that I was a last minute applicant and last minute (the day of class) acceptance that I find problems. I have not had the time to complete the CNA course and at the point that I finished my first quarter, I find the CNA a moot point? Ideas?

Specializes in hospice.

Or someone made a completely unfair and inappropriate exception and has now had their leash yanked.

So you got an unfair and inappropriate exception from the rules, and now you're angry that the higher ups walked it back. Whoever gave you that exception screwed you, because now you've ended up here. Your anger should be for them.

Basically in a class that is to seat 24, they sat 17. Six individuals were granted exceptions for various things. No worries anymore. They granted me time to get the CNA but I'm withdrawing from this school as I was accepted to another, State University. Thank God.
