Passed State Exam today - Thank you Fuzzy!

[Starletta, CNA]

Finally the day had come to take the State Test and I passed.... :)

Studied and studied the skills portion all weekend.

A thanks to Fuzzy for an easy way to remember dressing from the weak side, which WAS one of the skills given today. I knew it was dress weak side first, undress strong side first.

But your explanation - Clothes stay on the weak side the longest really helped today.

It just popped into my head very easily...lol

Other two were Lower ROM and Blood Pressure. Whew! Finally done!

I think Fuzzy has helped us all at one point or another. I saw her post & had never thought of it that way, it was a good one!

Thank you everyone for all your advice! I know I asked a million questions lately.

It really helped! Instead of thinking "Dress strong side first, etc."

Your tip popped into my head when I was dressing a "Weak" side during the Skill portion.... SO easy to remember. Thanks again. :)

Have to press the Kudos button again...lol

Oh and I forgot to add, I have a Per Diem job lined up at a nearby Assisted Living Facility. Beautiful place, staff looks very happy, all self-care. No lifting or turning. Got very good vibes soon as I walked in.

I was actually there looking at the facility for my mom and saw the opening Employment Bulletin Board... Funny how things work out.

Great news! Per diem could be a way to get your foot in the door!

Great news! Per diem could be a way to get your foot in the door!

That is what I was hoping for. At least get my foot in the door, and/or gain experience. It is only 15 minutes away and a beautiful "5 star Hotel" kind of interior. All residents have their own apartments, the place is spotless, no lifting, and what caught my eye, the staff looks very happy. :)

Although, I really can't afford to live on a Per Diem salary, hopefully can find an additional position somewhere else in the meantime.
