Add another one to the CNA registry - finished my training 1/26/12, and did skills/written yesterday.

And passed - Ghod only knows how. (misspelling intentional)

Ended up pulling Modified Side-Lying, Back Rub & Radial Pulse. Oodles of mistakes - interestingly, when I reviewed the results the ones I felt that I did correctly were the ones that I got dinged on the most. For instance - thought I aced hand washing & got zapped on turning the faucets off early & not scrubbing adequately; side-lying I made a LOT of mistakes but still passed.

Kudos to my partner, Laura - she did a superb job on all, but especially bed pan (I'm a 5'7" 280 lb. male - which made the task that much more difficult); poor thing had to roll me over & the examiner had me assist even though the scenario said no; plus during the partial peri she got embarassed - and by the time we got to Radial her pulse was all over the map, so the examiner was asking if I'd like to try another partner. Told her 'no' & we were able to finally get fairly close pulse measurements.

And - written was surprisingly difficult! It's multiple guess, but you REALLY had to think on some of the questions; don't underestimate that written in California (especially Red Cross) - it can bite you! Got a 95% on the class final; state written - 88%

So - 'tis done, and I'm doing a few online applications over the weekend; plan on puttin' on th' suit & hittin' the bricks next week to see if I can score a CNA gig. Since I'll consider pretty much anything at this point I'm pretty sure I'll be in the work force quickly.

And - the very best to all the other CNA's out there!

Congrulations ,you go boy

yay I passed mine on the 27th of Jan. God is good :) now I just have to go job hunting. Wish me luck guys! and congrats to all the others who have passed!!!

I took the test this morning, and I am pleased to announce that I passed! I was nervous, but I had studied the skills and reviewed them over and over. I am excited for the next challenges I will face: the HESI A2, and finding a job! People who are going to take this test: Don't panic. I have been out of the CNA class for almost a year, and just now took my test. If you review and keep calm, you will be fine. I also recommend praying if that is something you do. I give thanks and praise to God, with Him, all things are possible.

I am soooo happy and excited, and completely blessed! By the graces of God I can finally say...

I passed my CNA exam today in VA! I took my class 6 months ago and was really worried that I had forgot a lot of the material, but I actually remembered quite more than I thought. I studied somewhat but was struggling to focus. I honestly thought I failed (the skills). The written was okay. It wasn't hard but there were definitely some tricky questions. The skills exam isn't bad it's just the nerves that get you all riled up. I thought I failed honestly because I did miss a step on one of my skills, but apparently it wasn't that important. My partner also missed a step, but she passed. She thought she failed, but she did really good on all of her skills and that was the only step I noticed that she missed, but we both passed! I'm so excited :D

Good luck to everyone and anyone with a test coming up!

Thanks guys,and to anyone who passes you rock.

I passed!!!! My skills were: Handwashing, Indirect Care, Position on side, Pulse, and Foot Care. I was sooo lucky I got easy ones :) Thanks to everyone on here for all your help! Best of luck to all future CNA's! Relax and you'll be fine. I was super nervous at one point, but took a deep breath, and aced it. Practice is key :)

Woah.. I passed my exam like 8 months ago, but still haven't applied for jobs as a CNA.. I think I forgot some skills.. I hope there's training when I get hired as a CNA. ^^
