Need Help! Testing out of CNA Course in MN?

Thanks for the congrats, bikelola!

I am very happy to be done with that. However, my project for school is going a little slower than I had wished. I hope to be done by October.

Good Luck in your CNA class. I agree that a more recent class should help with securing a CNA position. I wish you luck!!!!

Hey Bitter Sweet! I am scheduled to test out of my CNA on September 9th through MCTC. I was wondering if you had any tips for the test of the skills section??

Hi Live&Learn,

For my test out, I read and re-read the candidate booklet and watched CNA youtube videos. I also practiced on my fiance'.

However, I will say to remember KWIPE for every skill.

K - knock on the door
W - wash hands
I - introduce yourself to the client
P - provide privacy
E - elevate bed/ explain procedure (but remember to lower the bed when done)

Also, it helped me to say all the steps of the skill out loud as I was doing it. My evaluator didn't care and it helps them because sometimes they dont watch everything you do. So if you say it as you do it, then they know you're doing it.

Hope that helps!

Good luck on your test!

That's really great advice bitter_sweet. Even though I'm still taking the class again, I'm going to have to remember those tips!

Lucky fiance.
