When you were in CNA school, what did you do in class? I have heard some say they worked in workbooks, did your instructor do power point, was there any games you played? What did you do n the classroom part?

Specializes in ICU Stepdown.

We went around and took turns reading a packet, practiced skills, had quizzes

When I took my CNA class my teacher used power points, we had lecture notes plus our textbook. We also had a quiz after every chapter, homework and we had a new skill each week that we had to practice.

I did the bookwork online; this included tests and practice certification exams.. Our clinicals were on site with a certified trainer/veteran RN.

Specializes in mental health / psychiatic nursing.

In my CNA class we had a work book that we did exercises from, we watched short video clips, and the instructor lectured on various topics (usually w/o power point) and we also had guest speakers come in and speak to us on various subjects.

Read out of the book, did power points, quizzes, workbook questions, video clips and worked in the skills lab each day we had class. My course was 3 months; 2 days a week 4 hours classes.

Specializes in Psychiatric, Aesthetics.

In class we focused on theory and practiced skills. We had a less than enthusiastic LVN as our "instructor" so we were on our own. No Power Points. No guest speakers. :sniff:

We also had projects to do such as a disease, or a food group where we'd have to present to the class.
