I just took the CNA state exam on 7/05/2014 and I failed it! I was totally devastated. I wanted to cry, but my sister was there with me. She had passed her exam. It was my fault. I had forgotten to close the curtains on the ROM one shoulder skill and I forgot to tell the "resident" to verbalize if there was any pain. I was just really nervous and forgotten the step then and remembered to close the curtain when I did foot care. The other skills I had were: Position to the side, ROM on one shoulder, foot care, weight, and hand washing. They were all easy skills! The bad thing about it is I lost my job at a nursing home called Avante. They were holding it for me until I confirmed I had my CNA license. I called today and they just told me to call when I do pass it and they'll see if they will have any positions available when I call back. I am rescheduled to take the exam again on the 26th of this month. I hope I do it pass it this time around. If not, that just tells me nursing is not for me.
