I took my test about a week and a half ago and Hallelujah I passed! I was super nervous too, but luckily I did not forget the critical skills (like locking brakes). My testers were super nice, so that helped. I was OK with all the skills except peri care, so I felt like I got very lucky. My skills were:

Hand washing

Range of Motion

Ambulation with gait belt

Peri care

Vitals

Now about that job..... :up:

I just passed today!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO! I got:

Measure & Record Weight

Ambulate pt using a Gait Belt

Assist with Bed pan...

I forgot a few things, like raising the bed when giving the bed pan. My partner failed because she didn't lock the wheels when she wanted to put me in the wheel chair. Make sure you wash your hands. If you forget, let them know immediately. I forgot at one point and before I was done with the skill I remembered and told her I should have washed my hands. I spoke throughout the session. I took a second before the skill and looked all around to see what I was going to do next.

I wanted to puke in the waiting room, but everyone was supportive. =D

I passed my exam this morning! Along with washing hands I had...

Pulse

ROM on one knee and ankle

Ambulate with a gait belt

Occupied Bed

I felt terrible when my partner failed. She didn't put my foot in a basin for foot care, and forgot the lotion. Then when transferring me to a wheelchair she didn't lock the wheels and that was in bold :( Then didn't rinse the bedpan after measuring output. It was awkward to accept my passing slip while she didn't :(

Finally got to take my test yesterday and I passed. Was more nervous than I should have been though. I guess hearing some of the people that were there re-taking the skills portion got my nerves on edge or something. All was good though and i am now officially a CNA!! wootwoot!

I passed my skills/written certification on March 1st.

My skills were denture care, feeding, and dressing dependent resident with vision problems. What's funny is that those are the ones I forgot to practice in my spare time. I concentrated on blood pressure, bed bath, ect..

Anyhoo, I'm happy and relieved, now I'm just waiting on the card to come in the mail and then look for a job. Congrats to everyone else!

I guess I never posted mine - I passed back in January during our Christmas break (ADN student)...I had to clean a resident's nails and then put a shirt on a resident who was paralyzed on his right side. I think I missed one question on the written part (from the best I could tell; I watched them grade it from my seat).

This was through the Red Cross here in MA (Cambridge/Kendall Sq). Fortunately they accepted a letter from the chair person at my school verifying that I had enough clinical hours so that I could take the test without having to attend the CNA course at Red Cross.

I almost forgot - I also had to demonstrate handwashing skills and documenting when the assignments were complete (I actually screwed that up by documenting on the AM instead of PM part of the sheet:o)

Also, congrats to the new grads:yeah:
