The local community college offers 5 points on the application for completing a 120 hr CNA course. To gain the 5 points I decided to join a CNA program at my local community center. I never thought I would be the only male in the class. I understand completely that most of the CNAs and nurses are mostly female but I figured there may be at least one male. Know I am having second thoughts about attending the class because I feel it may feel a little awkward for myself, the instructor, and the students if nobody wants to pair up with me for skills.
I hate to sound judgemental but alot of the students appear to be unpolished and not very understanding of a male CNA. Many appear that they may be there are part of some work rehabilitation program. I donot need the class except for the 5 points for the
RN
application. I already have a CNA certification so I can probably obtain a job at a local LTC.
Should I still take the class despite feelings of awkwardness?
