Re: CNA Skills Test - Those "Extra" Steps?
The extra steps are great in "real life". But what you're concerned about is passing the skills test. Rather than cluttering up your brain with extra steps, memorize the steps on the skills list that was provided to you. Concentrate on the steps that are absolutely required. Sometimes these vital steps are in bold print.
You will be anxious enough at test time to try to accomplish more than is required especially considering that you will have a timer going while you are performing the skills.
Concentrate on the handout that you were given and practice, practice, practice! Good luck.
I just passed my state test. My best tip: RELAX!
