Hello everyone! I am a new LPN and I have been working as an LPN for a little over 3 months and I love my job for the most part, but I just don't feel like I am getting everything I want/need out of it. Anyways, I began applying for jobs and even though I thought there was no way I would get hired, I applied for an agency job. Much to my surprise, they called and hired me. Now, I am freaked out! lol I do not know to much about agency jobs but I do know that you are sent places and expected to know how to do everything without much training, if any (which is why they generally do not hire people without experience). Anyways, I really want to work for the agency, pay is great, I would get a ton of experience, and I would always be somewhere new. But, I'm afraid I'll screw up and that I may not be ready. I would appreciate constructive critiscm and advice. If anyone out there has worked for agencies in the NE Kansas area I would really appreciate some insight! Thank you!

Apparently it is only a written test. I find that odd that some states require a skills section and we do not. I do not know how every other CNA course is, but we did have to complete a check list during our clinicals and the instructor had to be present in order for us to have each skill checked off. Soo maybe that was our skills section? Anyways, thank you for your response. I really do appreciate it!

Thank you! I was planning on calling so I guess I will just do that :) Thank you again!

Hi everyone! I would first like to say that any information is helpful and that I really appreciate it. I have been studying for my Kansas CNA certification test (which I have on Friday), and as I was looking for some free practice tests, I noticed that a few states require skills testing during the exam. This makes me really nervous! I would just like any input on if Kansas requires this part of the test so that I can get myself prepared. Overall, I am very comfortable and I think I will do well, but having to test on certain skills that a CNA will complete makes me awfully nervous! If it helps I am taking the test through Allen County Community College. Thanks!
