Here were some the reasons people in my school's last class didn't pass, and the person who didn't pass today:
- For feeding, giving the patient the wrong tray [there were two trays with similar names]
- Telling the proctor you couldn't find the pulse [the person was alive, they had a pulse--it became the joke in our class]
- Doing an upper body bed bath and using soap in the patient's eyes, and also leaving the resident's chest totally exposed.
- Taking blood pressure and not putting the stethoscope on the pulse, but putting it in your pocket instead. This person eventually got it right, said she was nervous. Don't know about that...
My skills were putting resident in supine position, nail care, and respirations.
I took my CNA class at Adult Education. The price was $550 for everything and it was an intensive class. We started in June and finished Thursday, with the exam today.
