in order to streamline the threads on this topic, i ask that everyone that passes their nursing assistant certification test to please post it in this thread as oppose to starting a separate one. i appreciate everyone's help with this.

Yippee!!!! Just passed my state exams today!
I couldn't believe how easy my skills were...radial pulse and dressing with a weak side. That's it (besides handwashing, of courser)! Wow! I think I had an angel watching over me or something. It's done, thank God, and I start orientation at a facility on Monday working 7-3 in the Rehab/Hospice wing. Can't wait! Then I'll start my pre-requisites (A&P and Micro) before applying to an ADN program nearby. I'm so excited! Congrats to everyone else who passed!
i took my exam today and passed! i am so relieved to finally get it done! our testing comany did not schedule a nurse for my first test date, so i was only able to take my written. three weeks later, here i am, a cna! i already have a job at a nursing home, but i go on the floor on monday! i am so ready! i've been working as a hospitality aide, and it was so frustrating not being able to do any hands on! now i need to work on getting into nursing school. yay! congrats to everyone else who passed and goodluck to those trying to become a cna! :heartbeatlindsey
Hello,
Just wanted to advise that I passed my CNA State Test this morning! Thanks to all of you who provided helpful information and eased my nerves. I have to admit, during the skills procedure, I couldn't catch my breath, but I never forgot anything! Here are the skills I was given:
Handwashing
Passive ROM (shoulder)
Ambulate w/Transfer Belt
Modified Bed Bath
Measure Urine Output
Thanks again!

Actually I passed my CNA exam in August of 2008. This is a career change for me from corporate America and honestly, I am scared to look for work for two reasons 1) is the pay is sooooooo loooww 10 to 11 bucks per hour, not even enough to pay my daycare fees for my three small children and 2) even though I did it during my clinicals, I am still scared of the poop and poop smell.
I am currently taking my pre req college classes for my ADN degree
