What skills did YOU get at the CNA state exam?

In MD our final exam counts as a CNA competency test. However if you plan on working in an LTC you have to be licensed as a Geriatric Nursing Assistant. Anyways we had both written & practical. The written test was I think 60 or 70 q's. Then on practical I had:handwashing, count respirations, clean dentures, administer bedpan, & feed pt. who cannot feed self

We all had the same stuff. And the person who gave us the test was one of our clinical instructors, so she'd already seen us in action for a lot of stuff. We got hand washing, TPR, ROM (different body parts though), and the other 2 skills were whatever she popped in for during clinical. Like you'd be getting ready to give someone a bed bath and she'd come in and watch the whole time and afterward she'd tell you that was your skill. lol.

Where are you located where they just gave you a written exam?

I had handwashing of course, range of motion on left sholder, catheter care and urinary drainage. All pretty easy- except being nervous of course!

I am located in NH.

We had to take a written test that consisted of 60 questions. We were then called in 2 at a time for the practial portion.

I had:

-Wash Hands
-Pulse
-ROM of Left Side

Just passed my state certification today (North Carolina)!!!

I got: handwashing, respirations, change position (side), dress client with affected right arm, and cleaning dentures. Pretty easy. I was all worked up for nothing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Where did you have CNA test? I am going to have in 2 weeks in Durham... scared...

I just passed yesterday. I'm in CA.

I had:

60 question test
handwashing
change to supine
nail care
weigh patient

my friend got easy skills too:

ambulate using gait belt
dress pt with paralysis on one side
height

I'm so glad to be done, I was worried I'd have to do blood pressure!

I am in NJ and I just had my test this past Friday. I had

1) Handwashing
2) Weight of Ambulatory Resident
3) ROM - Knee & Ankle
4) Cleans Upper or Lower Denture
5) Foot Care

For me, foot care was the hardest because it was the most involved, but it wasn't that bad. Now I just have to wait the couple of weeks to hear the results!! Ahhh the waiting is going to drive me nuts!
