It's been about a decade since I've worked as a nursing assistant. I've chosen a different career since then but was wondering if the CNA Skills test has changed at all? I remember it being very strict on each step you perform but accurate documentation on these exams were really hard to find.
Maybe I posted in the wrong category...

I imagine there's some variation from state to state, and likely at least some changes over a ten year period. Most people probably haven't taken the test now and ten years ago ...and the ones who have probably remember about as much as you do.
If you have a specific concern about a specific skill, someone might have some information.
