I am about to start my CNA course here in a couple of weeks and honestly don't know what to actually expect while in it. I eventually want to be an RN, and hope that this will give me a bit of the experiences that I will need.
Does anywone have some tips? Any would be helpful. To add to my worries I am a guy, and for some reason that adds to my fears of success in this field.
Also I just started working for a non-medical at home care agency, and was wondering if this actually helps my cause in the medical field. I know that most hosptals will not take a CNA directly after the courses (they require some experience), and I'm not sure if my employment with the agency would count as such.
I just finished the CNA course and there is a male CNA at the LTC facility we did our clinicals at--he's the only one but the patients absolutely love him. He could calm the patients when noone else could. He also happened to be the nicest to us students out of all the CNA's. He'll be in LPN school with us this fall, and we all like him.
