Cna Video For Practice In Skills Exam?


Can anyone tell me if they have used the CNA Video as a tool for their skills exam? My exam is this Friday, 12/19. While I feel really confident about the written part, I'm nervous about the skills exam. I've been "reading" my skills notes, but as a mom of 2 young boys I'm also working on my pre-reqs for nursing school and have finals for that as well this week. My CNA school practice hours are during my finals. My plan is to use the skills video in addition to my notes. Anyone out there with input --- has anyone used the videos to prep for the skills exam?Of course, there's nothing like hands on practice, but I'm in a rock-in-a-hard place situation. Thanks for the input.

I am in the same boat and have also been looking for videos to use as a refresher. I found this site that offers the DVD or VHS and it looks like it would be pretty good.

Youtube has some for several states that I've found really helpful. Might be worth a look

Thanks very much for your help. I'll check it out. This is such a great website! I find myself worrying about things -- then I remember this is such a great resource to use, and I'm almost not as worried!

Thanks!
