  8. To all current and former CNA students

    I was wondering if any of you could tell me how many skills you have to memorize for the state exam? I know you only have to do 5 skills and I know you don't get to choose but any insight would be appreciated. I've looked high and low on this website...

  10. To all current and former CNA students

    Thank you for your reply! How many skills all together do you have to learn? 20-25? I know we have to memorize all of the skills because we don't know which 5 we will get right?
  11. CNAs and weight

    Also, I guess it depends on the person and their way of relieving stress and of course *their job*.
  12. CNAs and weight

    No offense to the people who write these article's but they obviously have a desk job and have NO CLUE what CNA work entails. I'm not a CNA yet but I have many friends who are and let me just say that NONE of them are *fat* and some have actually sai...

  21. Can anyone help with some supplies for my CNA program?

    Thanks everyone for the great information! I'll try Taffords and I'll probably end up getting the stethoscope there also. Is it true that in the state of Indiana (for those of you that are in indiana) that we don't really do vitals? or did I read tha...
