I'm a CNA in Melbourne working in home health care. It is not my preference, but at least I am employed in the industry until I can get into a hospital or clinical setting. If you are interested, I can recommend a few Agencies that are hiring. I n...

You can try private duty. That is what I am doing for now. They don't pay squat, but at least you can be working in the industry as a CNA while looking for work in a clinical setting.

You will be fine, and you will look beautiful. Check your email when you can and PLEASE call me tomorrow after you PASS your exam.

CONGRATULATIONS FLg8r.

Congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you.

Couldn't have done it without you girl. Thanks for everything. I'll be congratulating you real soon. Now take care of yourself.

I passed my exam yesterday. Tested as a challenger Florida. Woo hoo!

I passed my exam yesterday, as a challenger.! Yeah.

I passed my exam today. Whew. So gad that is over with.

Thank you darling.:wink2: Email.

Sounds like you did everything right. I didn't know you were suppose to put soap on the container. I was told to just rinse, dry, disinfect, but I could have been told wrong. Well, my exam is tomorrow morning and I am a challenger, so we'll see how...

Bossbadger - Did you remember to dump your fluids in the BSC and NOT the sink?

So sorry to hear. I would appeal, or at least re-test in 30 days. Don't give up now. What state/city did you test in? Did you remember to knock first, wait for response, pull privacy curtain? When draining the urinary bag, they said you didn't use...

CNA Training Inc in Orlando is awesome. I took their "refresher" and gained valuable skills needed to challenge the CNA exam. The Manager/Instructor, Darla, is very nice and very good at what she does. She will go over every skill in detail with y...

Thank you. Great info. I guess I better plan to take the day off work. I am testing at 9:00 AM, and scheduled to work at 2:00. Congratulations on passing your exam. :thankya:

Anyone taken the Prometric CNA exam recently in Florida? If so, can you tell me what the setting was like? Did you do your clinicals on a manikin, or a volunteer? Has anyone taken the exam at Casel in Melbourne? What skills were you tested on (other...

I am in FLorida so it may be different from your state. I am taking my CNA exam in 3 weeks, although I interviewed with A Private Duty Nursing Agency this month and just got hired. They did not require I have my CNA first. They tested me on several...

I am not familiar with MA CNA training programs, but I do hear that the Red Cross offers a good Nurse Assistant training program. I would check with them. In my county in Florida, the Red Cross NAT program is a couple months longs, and not too expe...

I know this original post is old, but I thought I would add this info for those in Brevard county with the same question. There are not any prep courses in Brevard. I live in Melbourne and have searched extensively. Casel Heathcare on Stack Blvd i...

ah, this is true.

Maybe you can call your testing site and ask if you can bring your own BP kit.

What state are you in that "you" are paying the CNA and that the CNA is working directly under your license? Just curious. In Florida, the Agency, LTC facility, Hospice, or Hospital pays us, they are responsible for us, and we are responsible for o...

Em CNA 2b- I am taking my CNA exam (Florida) on the 4th and I was told they will provide the steth. I would just remember to clean it before and after use. I was told handwashing is to be done before, during and after EACH skill. I think they expec...

BossBadger - Do you have any links to the skills videos you were referring to? Other than the ones posted on this forum?

In the state Florida, they have the option to challenge (E3) the exam. If you are short on time and funds, and think you can pass, you may challenge. That is what I am doing. I have been a caregiver for nearly 4 years and I am challenging. I am t...
