I am in the same boat. I so so so feel your pain

I am excited for you !! I am 36 also with 2 kids. I finished my cna class 3 weeks ago and it cost me $1000. (4 week class) So in my opinion... free sounds great!!! I had 2 weeks of classroom instruction and 2 weeks of hands on training at a facility. I feel like it was a joke too. I am still waiting on a test date for state testing. 3 weeks later :angryfire And have had zero luck finding a job that only hires on a NA certificate.

thank you and I will deff keep you posted =)

we have 48 skills! I start clinicals monday ((super nervous & excited)) they say you will learn the skills as you use them and practice them. they tell you to read read read and go over them at home too. when is your test? have you done your clinicals yet?

I am currently in a CNA program and our instuctor informed us that we will have to perform 5 skills for the state exam. She said you draw your assigned skill test out of a pile of papers (like a deck of cards). She said the State Board Testing Administrator will give you a short story to go along with your paper. Like ex: Mr.Jones is a stroke resident and his right side is affected. And your skill could be denture care. So your skills would be 1. hand washing 2.gloving 3. assist to side of the bed 4.assist to chair 5.denture care does that help any? good luck!
