I passed my CNA exam on October 9th (in FL)! I've been wanting to do this for years and I finally did! I am beyond excited and feel such a sense of accomplishment. Congrats to all else who're pursuing their dreams. With determination (and faith :-} ), anything is possible. WHOOO-HOOOO. I'm a CNA!!!!!!
Today I passed my skills exam!!!! It was such a crazy day! I had ambulate, weight of ambulatory resident, and dependent mouth care. I was so happy when it was done. The craziest part of the day though had nothing to do with the test. While I was waiting on the written exam the nursing facility had a small fire!! So we had to close all the residents doors and evacuate. It only lasted maybe 15 minutes, but it really got my heart pumping!
I passed my written and skills on Nov. 7th! First time with both. What a relief! I was so shocked when I got my skills list. I got weight of ambulatory patient, fingernail care, position on side and ted hose. It didn't seem possible I could get away with none of the hard/time consuming skills, but I did!

I passed!!! :anpom:
I am ro relieved! Whew! Between the classes and medical pre-class stuff and paying for the test, had a lot of my very generous Dad's money riding on this!
I passed both the written and skills.
For skills I drew washing hands (everyone did that one) counting respirations, feeding, ROM on one shoulder and pericare on a female. I only made one mistake, forgot to rinse the soap from the front during pericare before I did the backside. Whoops! Hey, I was nervous!
I thought I did terrible, was sitting in fear, almost crying, positive I had failed while waiting for the results. To my supprise, the tester told me I did almost perfect and asked if I am currently working in the field because I did so well and seemed so at ease! (minus that one mistake) I was stunned! I am glad though I came across that way considering my brain was screaming "YIPE YIPE YIPE" the entire time and I could hear my heart pounding in my ears!
Congrats to everyone else who has passed!!!
