CNA test after 5 years

Hello everyone, I took a CNA class 5 years ago and am just now planning to take the test and become one in Virginia. When I took it I got an A, but ended up with a C in my Anatomy and Physiology I class. So I gave up on being a nurse. In the last year I realized I don't want to be sitting at a desk for the rest of my life and that I want to be helping people. So I finished the rest of my prereqs with As and just applied to nursing school. I need to take the written and skills test to get my CNA so I can work as one while I'm in school. I'm nervous because I haven't had any patient care experience since my class and I don't remember all the specifics. I still have my book so I was going to review that but does anyone have any study tips, especially for skills? Thanks

    CNApass.com app is a excellent way to learn what all you will cover in a CNA class and is very helpful for those wanting to pass CNA exam. You can self test yourself, multiple choice answers, I used this app for my CNA and PCT classes. If you have a smartphone download the app or you can go to website. I prefer the app on my phone since I use that more frequently. For skills portion there are many videos on YouTube for CNA skills learning.

    Are you eligible to sit for the exam? In some states you will need to retake the class in order to register for the exam.

    I called the Virginia board of nursing that said it doesn't matter when I took it as long as it was in Virginia since 1980 something when they started keeping track of it. So all I have to do is take the written and skills exam.

    I just took it two weeks ago in Virginia. I am a nursing student (an old one, at that). The Virginia BON has a pamphlet you can download that tells you all of the possible scenerios you will be tested on. I think there are like 20 possible skills scenerios and you will have to do 5 randomly chosen skills, with handwashing always being one of them. I was a nervous wreck and I practice most of these skills in clinicals every week, so I can imagine how intimidating it would be after five years. You can PM me if you have any questions.
