Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

:banghead:Can anyone tell me how difficult the State of Florida CNA exam is w/Prometric? I have been a CNA in Wisconsin between 2004-06 but I took it thru the community college, exam and everything...I took a refresher class here but either half the girls didnt pass the exam or Florida just isnt that strict...they missed almost everything in class that should have been taught!! Am I over-stressing?

By now you already took the test. I failed with Prometric the first time, but passed the second time.

I cannot tell you about Florida but NY is easy.. The best advice I have for you is to take your time and think before you do anything in the skills part. Good luck to you

When I took it the first time I challenged the board, I didnt actually know anything. I failed one clinical which of course means you fail the whole thing. Go to this site http://www.prometric.com/NurseAide/FL.htm and click on clinical skills checklist. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THEY GRADE YOU. It will help you a lot.

Thank you so much, I did print that out that is what I have been studying by...just like I said I have been a nurses aide...so Im hoping I can calm down enough to THINK my way through...can you explain "hip rotation" is that just rotating the whole leg from side to side that is an ROM exercise...Thanks so much. Are you in Florida by any chance?

I challeged the cna exam in fl took a skills course because you need to do it step by step just rhe way the print out tells you i did pass but i was thankful i took the skills course because the instructor was a tester for prometrics and told us over and over " Do the steps exactly as it says" well i lisened and did it that way and passed. Good luck on your exam and keep us posted.

Cross your fingers...thanks again!

Yes I do live in FL. Hip rotation is turning the leg inward and outward.
