I Passed My CNA State EXAM !!!!!!

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I am so happy!!!! :D I just found out I passed my State exam. I felt good about the written exam and it turns out I scored 96% on the written. :D

I felt like an absolute moron on the skills test, I really thought I failed. I was so nervous, I almost barfed. :eek: I took such good care of my residents/patients during clinicals, but it was like my brain left my body during the State Skills test. I'm just so relieved I passed. I actually cried when I found out I passed. Seriously, I cried. That's how bad I thought I did.

I know this sounds so silly, but I'm just so proud. Now, if I can only get into nursing school and pass. That's my next goal. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Good luck to everyone on their CNA exams! May everyone achieve their goals and dreams!

yay!! congrats!!! :yeah:

:yeah:CONGRATS ON PASSING!!!!:yeah:GREAT JOB!!!:yeah:
Thank you so much for the info, I will definately look into that site for some practice material since I still have almost 2 months before I begin my classes. I am really looking forward to this and was so disappointed when I went to sign up for the Oct. class and it was full. I hope to be able to follow with the LPN program some day...but until then I know I will enjoy being a CNA. Good luck to you as well and thanks again.

Hey, no problem. I'm happy I could help. It's nice to be able to answer a question or two instead of always asking. LOL.

If you simply can't wait, the next Red Cross class starts October 13th. You might call and see if they have a slot open.

Also, if you are interested in pursuing an LPN career, I am aware of two options in the Knoxville, TN area. Tennessee Technology Center offers classes and Blount Memorial Hospital offers in-house training, as well.

Blount Memorial hires many of the graduates of their program and sometimes even offer scholarships. They also have a pretty high NCLEX pass rate. You can check their program out at: http://www.blountmemorial.org/body.cfm?id=1841

Also, here is a link to the NCLEX-PN pass rates at Tennessee schools:

Mind you, these are only the NCLEX pass rates for the LPN schools, not the RN programs.

I wish you the best of luck in going for your dream!

Thank you and Good Luck to you on your exam, as well! I'm sure you passed!

Thanks Lady Vol. I just checked my results online. I didn't miss anything on the skills test (which i was worried about the most) and got 94% in the written test. I worried for nothing.

Now on to the real world for us.

Yay!

:yeah: CONGRATULATIONS!!! :yeah:

Congratulations

I went through the Red Cross Nursing Assistant program. I thought it provided excellent training. They offer both a day course and a night course. The cost of the course is a little higher than the TTC courses but it does include the cost of your State Exam Testing fee and includes certification in First Aid and CPR. Also, the State uses the Red Cross on Middlebrook as their testing site in Knoxville.

The Knoxville Red Cross web site is: www.knoxarc.org

I really loved the RN, Kristin, who taught our class. She was wonderful! We also went through alot of clinical hours, which I think is very valuable. It's one thing to do perineal care on a "dummy" in a classroom, it's another thing to do it on a human being. I think it's really important to get as much practical experience as possible.

I loved all the people in my class! We had a great group! Everyone in the class wants to pursue further education in the medical field. We had several girls who were either currently doing their prerequisites or were already enrolled in nursing school. Gosh, we even had a guy who was Pre-Med at UT. Great, great group of folks! All ages and backgrounds!

Oh, also, check out the Tennessee CNA Testing site. This is the company that the state contracts their testing though. It is located at www.hdmaster.com

It will have the new testing book showing all the skills you must learn. You can also get a head start on some of the memorization.

Good luck to you and feel free to email me if you have any other questions. I will be happy to help you any way I can.

Wow, I must have just missed you! I took the course there as well, but it was while Kristin was out on maternity leave. We had Pat, and while I got along with her really well, it seems that the majority of our class didn't pass the exam. I don't know if that's true or not, but none of the people I've stayed in contact with passed. I retook the skills portion today.
