Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

congrats to everyone!!!! I remember when i passed i was sooo excited!!!!!

Congrats everyone! I posted it separtely but I past both on December 17th

I took my test on 10Jan09 and I received my certificate and wallet card yesterday! I made an 83 on my written and my skills were handwashing, ROM(hip&knee), transfer resident from bed to wheelchair, and a backrub. I am so proud of myself and everyone else who passed!

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!

SPELLING

I challenged the NC state CNA test and passed.

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)!
