I passed! Yay me!

I passed my Oklahoma testing...skills test I was just so nervous the first time. I walked in and she explained everything and then said your first skill is pernial care.....I paused and was like "WHAT?!?" We went over that in our class for maybe 15 minutes, so I was so not prepared for that. Then I took pulse for 45 seconds.:smackingf.I know how to do this because I am also a volunter Fire Fighter and have to go on medical calls. Needless to say my nerves got the best of me!

I rescheduled for the next week walked in and passed. I got denture care, range of motion and input/output. Didn't have any problems, was still nervous but I kept talking to the instructor the whole time so it made it a little easier. The written test was way easy! It took me 10 minutes to go through 75 questions. So I sat there a minute and went back over the questions again, stood up and told her I was done. The instructor says to me "in the 3 or 4 years that i've been here I've never had anyone get 100%." I was stoked! So proud of myself! I went back to school a little later in life and wasn't very good at it the first time around....what a relief!

Now I start a job in the PCU here at our local hospital nect week. I am super excited but again.....YIKES...the first medical job is a little scarey at first too. But this too shall pass!

Congrats!!! I failed the first try for the clinical part! I found the written part very easy.

I was super nervous at first that even my sister said that I looked very nervous. I was shaking a bit.

I could have passed, but I dressed at the wrong side of her arms.. I dressed the strong arm first.. and that it helps I knew that I failed. The 2nd try I got harder skills, but I wasn't as nervous as first. I still work at UPS.. not planning to work as a CNA yet until I get my license. :) Taking the road test on November 3rd (Near my birthday!) I hope I pass.
