Thank you for all the great replies, I'm sorry I'm so late checking back in. I've been without a computer for awhile now. Thankfully, my test went very well, and I passed! I had good skills, I drew the supine position, unconscious mouthcare, an...
I'm about to take my state test on Friday, this is my second round through this class. I am a Nervous Nellie, but trying to NOT freeze up, like I did in practice yesterday. I have learned so much more this time around, and feel even better about thi...
Thank you, everyone. I've been trying to stay positive, I have a month to study now. I appreciate the advice, and will keep you posted when I finally do get to test.
I am so angry at myself right now, I can't believe I could be so stupid. Today was my state skills test, I've been drilling all week in the lab, and going over steps with friends from class. Last night was graduation and it was great. I couldn't ...
Thank you for supporting me, it's a big help. Knowing these people are going to be watching me, that's what makes me nervous, and I get clumsy when I'm nervous. All I can do is my best, and I will. Please keep the good thoughts flowing, I'll let ...

That is awful, they didn't tell you all that before they took your money for the class? Grrr!! Do the hospitals in your area hire CNA's as ER techs? I don't know a thing about that, but I hope you can do it. My class is at a vocational school, i...

This is the kind of thing my instructors is drumming into our heads, just because it's not our patient, doesn't mean we get to ignore them. What if it were an emergency, and we just walk by? You're a great CNA, and will be a fantastic nurse, becau...
Good luck to all of you, and congrats to all! I'm still hanging in there, we had our clinical orientation, but haven't yet practiced skills yet. They're really taking their time with this class. 3 months to go. I am disappointed that our class d...
I'm on my way! The first week was ok, so far we have just worked on study skills, resumes, and last night we began the chapter on residents rights and what a CNA does, and does not do. I can't wait to get to clinical, that's still a couple weeks aw...
