CNA test on Tuesday in NC and I am soooo nervous

Good luck!

I know you'll do great. Give yourself permission to know the same thing. The judges that check for this exam want you to pass. They need good, trained, experienced honorable, ambitious CNAs. They are on your side!

As you're taking the skills test, make sure you verbally talk through your procedures. This talking will help them you know what you're doing AND it will calm you down as you hear yourself explain the skills. Practice talking and walking through the skills.

Focus on what you want: that great job, the feeling of pride, the RN training, and anything else that's positive as a result of your doing well.

On Monday night:

1. Plan your route to the testing facility. Mapquest & print if needed.
2. Lay out your clothes/uniform for the day.
3. Make sure you have the required testing documents. (Letter, certificate, ID, or whatever)
4. Make sure you get to bed early and get plenty of rest. If you have butterflies about sleep try melatonin caps. (They may help you rest with no AM drowsiness)....

Get up early Tuesday morning.... Plan a decent breakfast.... Let yourself be/feel relaxed.... Listen to some inspirational music or CD program as you get ready for the day. Avoid TV and AM/FM radio....

You will do AWESOME


Let tinkerbell give you a little fairy dust....

You'll do fine. Think of all the experience you have. Just remember not to rush, think what you're going to do before you do it and you'll be ok.

Good luck!
