I am taking my CNA exam in 4 days. Anyone have any tips on passing? Basically I am freaking out about the skills part. I am good with most of my skills. I got down, and can do. But I get really stressed out and nervous when under pressure. I am a ...

So, I posted a thread awhile ago, about getting a new patient, (I'm a HHA) Anyways, I was nervous, it was my first male patient to have to bathe. I have gotten use to it, and am not nervous anymore thanks to the advice from people! Anyways, I have a ...

FlowerPower00- Thank you! I contacted my company today and told them. She told me that anytime I want to drop the patient, (stop taking care of him) I can. She did document everything though. This isn't his first time acting like this towards someone...

interceptinglight-Thanks for the advice! I do need to get tougher skin. So I'll work on that more. :) fuzzywuzzy- I have once before told him that I had to leave at a certain time. I believe it was 11:50, and I told him "I have to leave at 1pm." And ...

I work in home health. I love it :)

I work in home health. I just posted a thread on a patient I"m having a problem with.. But Other than that, I love it! The hours are flexible. I usually have set days for each of my patients to go see. I call an hour before I leave to make sure their...

Okay, so I am a home health aide. All my patients that I have to shower are women. I have guy patients but I don't shower them. I have my first guy patient tomorrow though. He can't do anything him self other than help stand and move. As for washing ...

Thanks everyone. I went today, and it went fine. He is able to do some things, but he can't each other parts.. So I helped him. He also told me about his last aide as to why she stopped seeing him... But everything went okay. :)

Let me start off by saying, if your going to judge, you mine as well save your time I don't care. Yeah, I don't have my GED or HS diploma. Stupid of me, oh well. What's done is done. I am studying to get my GED, but it's a lot harder than it seems. F...

Yeah. That's true, it is the world we live in. In a way I get discouraged but then again more determine. I am trying to buckle down for my GED. Your only allowed so many chances to pass, not saying I"ll fail them all, but I want to make sure. I think...

Okay, I had a post before about my CNA exam. That's tomorrow. As of right now, I am blanking out about EVERYTHING. :/ I have some questions, Sorry if this makes me seem dumb. And yes I looked on youtube lol 1. If I get bed pan on the test, Is the "P...

I have no clue why I didn't see that you responded to this. Sorry for not responding! I did my test, and passed. :) I had Bedpan, Transfer into wheelchair, and Vitals.

Congrats!!! I was for sure I was going to fail too. Even after doing my skills, I knew I forgot a lot of things, but I passed haha. Feels good huh? lol

I'm sorry that happened! I have a patient who has alzheimer's and I see her twice a week to give a shower, but everytime I go she'll tell me she had one already that she don't want one. It's usually a struggle to get her to get up. One day she got s...

Practice at home with someone. youtube has videos showing the skills too. I use to watch them all the time to kept "reminding" myself everything. I know here we didn't have to do the skills in order, but just to do them right.. Which made it less str...

Congratulations!!!!

I was wondering the same thing. I want to get into a hospital or nursing facility. I work in home health care right now. My hours are flexible. Like, It's only Monday, and I finished half my patients today. I work Tuesday and Friday then that's it fo...

Look on youtube for skills. I took my CNA class and had clinicals but I was still nervous for my exam. Youtube will have all the skills and show you the right way to do them as well. They do supply all the supply's for you for your test. Good luck an...

I was nervous about mine too. But just don't think about the time. They give you enough time to begin with. If you worry about the time you will mess up. When you perform your skills that are given, just go down the list in your head what to do. I kn...

So, I already have a job. I work in home health. I love my job, and the pay is great. But I would still like to make a little more. Hospital near me is hiring CNA's. Part time. Like only weekends. I was thinking about applying, but I have heard horro...

Thank you!

Yeah every course is different. Mine was a 2wk course, and we had homework every night. A couple chapters to do, plus she would make us write out our skills on index cards. It actually came in handy

lol Well good for you! Well, my typical day is.. Getting up, Calling my patient, seeing what time he//she is going to be home, and what time would it be best I drop by.. Go their, pick up some, take vital signs, Help them with bathing if needed, tal...

$25 a patient. (Home health care)

I'm pretty sure you would have to, in order to take the state exam. I would call a testing site near you and ask them. They would be able to tell you more information about that. I know I had to get my ATT before I could take my exam, and I could onl...
