Don't be too naive! In my place where I have taken the state test, there are like 30-50 cards with skills, so you need to pull one of them.

Here you don't pull cards in ky they just have 5 skills already picked out. I know 2 of them handwashing and 1 of the 4 vital signs but I'd like 2 know the other 3. thank u though

You will be fine. Don't take any short cuts with anything. Don't count pulse for 30 mins and then multiply by two because you may forget to put the answer as 60. You may put it as 30. Count for the full minute. You will be nervous most likely so just do everything by the book. You will only have to do 5 skills or something like that. I think we had to be aware of all but only got tested on 5. You will have to do some sorta body wash care. You may get range of motion. That is pretty common. Practice and you will be fine.
