After taking my state exam and hearing of some others, my friend and I currently have a theory despite what our instructor told us would not happen, the skills test breaks down into handwashing, one measurement, one long skill ie occupied bed making, perineal care, and two short skills ie ROM or Assisting to a chair. And we're wondering if its true.
My skills were: handwashing, BP, fingernail care, assist to ambulate, and ROM.
What were your skills and do you feel the same?
Also I think the test site itself can make a world of difference. What do you think?
(The reason I'm asking is our instructor was tough, the curtains were a nightmare, and the table a bit of a walk from the bed but the test site was small, the curtains just had to be pulled once, the tester was not threatening at all, and the room was small and set up just like an ltc
