Can you complete the skill for just mannequins or do you have to do it for real people?

Yes that would be something that I am looking for. How do you find it? When I search group home, I get nursing homes, senior living, etc.

When did you have your training? Why didn't they allow female peri-care in clinical?

Do most female residents request that peri-care be done by females?

Did you have to do peri-care for females during your training?

If you get the HHA certificate do you not have to go through training where you have to do perineal care?

Thank you. What kind of credentials or experience do you need to be able to work at group homes?

I asked on Yahoo Answers and someone said: It looks like there are places that will only let male workers help the male clients when it comes to bathroom and changing. How does one find the companies that are like that?

I am taking the CNA course with a view to becoming either CNA or HHA. During the course I was shocked that in caring for female patients you have to view and touch the female genitalia which to me is a bit too much as a male and I would rather not do. I think that female workers can do that no problem. While I wouldn't be thrilled about cleaning males it would be tolerable. What could I do to ensure that I only work for male patients? Would I have to go directly into HHA for male patients only? Will going into LTC require me to view and touch the female private part 100%? Also does the training involve the instructors making sure that you can clean both sexes' private parts? I'm in the middle of the course and there is no refund, and wondering if there is any way to work without having to view and touch at least the opposite sex's genitalia.
