CNA Test Appeal

I think I would appeal as well. Know going in that you may not get the outcome you are hoping for.. but it's worth a shot. That's incredibly frustrating, I am sorry!

Well, the appeal process includes a testimonial from the student and an interview from the RN Test Observer. I would not advise anyone to appeal the test. They charge $25.00.

According to what headmaster told me they simply ask the nurse if they could have made a mistake. She said no and that was it.

Oh well. Im in a 2 year RN program currently with one semester down. My college allows students who compete their second semester to take LPN Boards and continue onto 3rd and 4th.

So I'll just do that and appreciate any CNAs even more than I already did. They're overworked and underpaid, and not treated fairly like in this case.

Wow. You don't even get the chance to retake the exam? It's been a long time, so I don't recall. What BS. I'm picturing you working next to her one day as coworkers, and her needing something from you. And you ask, "oh, you don't remember me?"

You could have a PhD in how to measure something, people make mistakes.

That may be true, however it is very unlikely. What's more possible is that the RN didn't care, made a mistake and decided not to own up to it.

She was using a 16.9 oz soda bottle, and there's no way she could have fit 525 mL of fluid in that. But, in this case it doesn't matter. If she did, she should become a physicist because that's simply amazing.

I hope they put some fail safes in place after my trying to appeal and losing of course. If they have automatic fail steps in the CNA Skills test it should take two people to verify. That was after all the only thing she reported me missing on the entire test. They now want me to pay another required $93.00 to retake the entire skills test. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Absolutely ridiculous
