Well, I never got to announce it publicly, but I PASSED my CNA, about 2 yrs ago, he he!, I never worked on it, and it will expire in about 2 days, but congrats and good luck to all you cna's
I finished my class and clinicals in mid March and didn't get to take my test until yesterday, so I was really worried that I'd have forgotten a lot, but all went well. I drew handwashing, assisting resident to sit on edge of bed, transferring to wheelchair and transporting, vitals, and making an unoccupied bed.
I passed both the Skilled and Written in Los Angeles with the American Red Cross. I would say the "simulation" skills we MUCH more difficult than actual performing at the nursing home. An example would be assisting with the bedpan, and simulating wiping bm off.. I'd like to see the bm to actually remind myself I have to wipe it!
Oh well, I passed! Will work soon, 7 out of 10 nursing homes in my city desperate for another CNA.. I need to choose wisely!
