I have been studying to challenging cna exam in Florida, I feel comfortable with the written exam. I know that I can do the skills exam, but would feel better if I could get the hands on experience. Nurses Unlimited only offers their review course in Miami which is about 1 1/2 from my house; which is not bad if class didn't end at 10:30 pm. Just wondering if anyone knows of any in Palm Beach County.

what were the 3 skills they tested you on? i'm getting ready to take mine now and while i'm not worried about the written portion, i am concerned about forgetting something on the skills portion. we were told they would give us one easy, one medium and one hard skill to perform ..... any help would be VERY much appreciated

REALLY? when did you register for the state exam? they told us in class that if we mailed it out today, we should be able to test in less than 2 weeks!!! wonder if they were wrong?

I emailed my last week-- I was also told it could be 2 weeks to 3 months. I requested to be tested @ Nurses Unlimited in Miami.
