Re: Hey, I'm Caitlin!
I finish my cna class this wed, my strong advice is to go to red cross buy their cna testing preparation manual. It cost around 28.00 dollars. it will show you the 40 skills you have to know in order to pass state exam. if possible get it and start memorizng the steps now, because you need to know how to make a occupied bed, range of motion, bed bath, washing hands ect. they are very specific on the way you do your skills, the book will show you step by step, you also need to learn to take blood pressure, temp, pulse, respirations. everyone in my class is stressing over learning the skills, our test is this comming friday
get a head start and you will be fine
by the way iam in the monterey bay area(calif).

Best wishes with the CNA program and in the nursing program afterwards. My only advise is to soak it all in. It will form the foundation for your nursing career and you will learn things that you will always use in your nursing career. Ask questions if you are unsure, and just practice your skills and remember that each skill goes towards making a patient/resident feel better. 
and if any questions along the way...you have a world of nursing knowledge in this site..
