A man become a certified nursing assistant?

im from salisbury md im 23 a convicted felony i would like to know if it would be a good idea to become a cna the reason why is because its very hard to get a nice job in salisbury md and would it be a good idea for a male to become a nurse i love being around people and im a very loving person no im not gay i have a girl but i need a job very bad and im willing to do what ever to make something out of life

Some of the best nurses aides I have worked with were men, and all of them were straight. I'm not sure you can get your CNA with a felony conviction on your record though.

i dont think you needed to confirm your manhood about not being gay....i think its a great field for any and everyone

if you think you will like the medical field then i say go for it

good luck!

I think you might want to consider something else.

Not sure but do check on this before you start classes.....
but I dont think that you will be able to get your certification in that field with the felony record.

A quick call to the school can confirm or deny this.
That would be my only concern.
I do think that it would be a great feild for you to be in.
As a male some of the more physical aspects of the job would make you an ideal candidate due to your gender

I too took a nursing assistant class through the Red Cross....very hard class, because they throw so much at you in such a short period of time....I think for a man, you have a great opportunity for advancement.....however, being a convicted felon may ruin your chances of getting hired anywhere....anywhere you apply, they run a background check. Maybe someone will take heart and give you a fair shake anyway! Best Wishes!

Idont think with a felony record with this you are not aprove for medical field or goverment jobs , why dont you try something else ,
and they may accept you in the cna school but then to get a job with felony record its hard you will feel like you wasted time and money

I am both shocked and appalled that you are equally or more concerned about working in a "woman's" job than your felony conviction. Lots of men become nurses, but your felony, esp if it is a violent crime makes the gender issue irrelevant anyway.
