The state tester didn't even have me listen to the K sounds, I just took the bp. It wasn't as awful as I thought it would be, and went relatively fast. I passed

Do you have any group homes in your area you could apply to? With the way the economy is, I think even cna jobs are competitive. The last 2 weeks I have noticed there are not as many job listings in the paper as there used to be and the cna listings have dropped drastically. The reason why I am trying to get into this field is because there is always a need for nursing..... Just keep at it, think outside the box, apply at your local school district even to be a paraprofessional and work with developmentally disabled kids in the classrooms. You know how to do rom and you have the cpr card.

You are suppose to put the sphygmo on the brachial and listen, when you don't hear the pulse anymore, then you are suppose to inflate the cuff 30mm past that point. I'm doing 8 because home health aid is included with the cert. I was just thinking, I don't need home health. Eventually, I am suppose to get a cert so I can be an AUA, which is a step above a cna, but not quite an lpn.

I'm trying to study the steps for the skills tests, I have to do 8 skills, 5 pre-determined, 3 will be a surprise. I just got done fiddling around with a UK site bp video and did ok, within 2-4 mm or dead on. My question, I just read that I am suppose to listen first for Kortotkoff sounds, then take the bp. In our lecture, they didn't teach that. Has anyone been instructed to do this before taking the bp?

I am a failure at math, this has been a constant theme in my life and why I avoid certain things. It's one of the reasons why I am doing CNA and not LPN. I gave up on even trying to get my AA because of the math, every class I took that counted frustrated me til I ended up dropping it. No math = no degree
