CNA class and practicing on your classmates

Published

I am wondering how extensive your class got in practicing on each other. How touchy/feeley did it get? I'm just going to be blunt here and ask, did it feel awkward if you were overweight and had others in your class being able to see you up close and personal. Just wondering....I am feeling a bit self conscience....:eek:

Range of motion. When I was in class we made a bed, did vitals, nail care, pivot transfer, ambulation, and turning with another classmate.

At least you are actually doing it. My class they show you,you half ass do it then move on. Pretty nervous to be thrown into clinicals after only 2 weeks(very part time weeks) with only 10 of my skills checked off!

p.s. being the biggest give the rest of the class real life experience!

We had to practice on each other for EVERYTHING except peri-care and catheter care.
