NC CNA testing sites?

[bmelissa]

Can anyone share with me where in Western NC is an ideal testing site for the state test? Maybe somewhere that is not so strict or that does not make someone feel like a nervous wreck. I am doing very well in class and have a lot of potential (my instructor's words, not mine). But I am worried that my nerves will get the best of me! Any advice?

I took my exam in Greensboro. It was stressful, but I passed. I suggest that you study the manual that the state provides. It tells you everything that you need to know. There are also videos on youtube that you can watch.

One word, Shelby. It is worth the drive. You take the test in a little room that has all your supplies. You don't have to worry about the curtain because it only goes about 6 feet and stops so you say "I'm closing the curtain to make sure the resident has privacy." You don't have to worry about holes in the curtain ect. All of your supplies are on your side of the curtain and within reach. Other students in my class took the test at community colleges near me and had a much harder time. AB tech in Asheville is supposed to be a nightmare and so is the one in Hendersonville. Good luck!

I did mine there and failed the first time because I forgot to say stop when I was counting the pulse. We got the same pulse rate and everything since I saw her write in her answer. Oh well I passed the second time.
