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.
:redlight: congratulations to all the cna's out there! :redlight:
thank you,

i wanted let ya'll know that i passed my cna state test this morning! :wink2: thanks to all of you who helped to ease my fears. i was nervous during the skills procedure, but i never missed a step on any of the skills! the evaluator told me i did an excellent job & watching me was like reading the book. my hard work paid off {{{{ yahoo }}}}} :)
here are the skills i was tested on:
handwashing
transfer to wc
measuring urine output
foot/toenail care
donning/removing ppe
thanks again to everyone here for all of the advice & support. and for the ones taking the test in the future my best advice is the advice that was given to me.....talk your way through it out loud.
it helps tremendously.
I passed my CNA exam on 1/4/2009. I had passed the written test on the first try back in December, but the evaluator started talking to me during the practicals and asked me to perform one of them differently, and then she failed me for it, so I did a retake (at another facility) and passed. My skills (on the retake) were;
Handwashing (of course)
Radial Pulse
Ambulation w/a Gait Belt
Range of Motion (knee and ankle)
Making an Occupied Bed
The bed was the one skill I probably practiced the most...took me 4 minutes from start to finish. Five days after passing, I landed an interview at a local nursing home and just started my new job last night! I'm on my way to a new career in healthcare!
Thanks, and congrats to all the other CNAs out there. It is a critical service that we perform, so be proud to toot your own horn now and then!
:thankya:

am reaching 4 my dreams,my spot in nursing is reserved.
i started with my skills test,followed by the written one,after 30minutes.
i was so nervous,and felt cold,thought it was coz of the cold weather,but after my skills test, my body got warmer. the examiners were kind,and made me(us)feel at ease. you get to know your results immediately,coz they just get faxed there.
i got both my results,am proud of ':paw: my first step to my thousand miles that am still to take.
currently am looking for a job in a nursing home within pittsburgh,pa.(if you know of an ltc, within pittsburgh that are employing,feel free to reply.

I challenged the NC state CNA test and passed.
Somewhere on AllNurses.com someone posted this website: http://deptets.fvtc.edu/nursing/index.htm
I used the state guidelines to study, watched the videos and did lots of walk through practicing in my living room!
Start my first CNA position as a FT Psych Tech on an Adol Psych floor (3/12's)!
