Well, at least our scrub bottoms are blue..lol! If being an aide for 7 years has taught me anything, it would be white scrub pants = yellow and brown scrub pants in 2 hours:lol2:

The school I'm attending ordered our shoes along with our clinical uniforms. White, leather Keds. Though professional, they are HIDEOUS! I wish they would have let us go with another shoe.

I used to hate that....grr...two person assist means two person assist, regardless of gender. I've been given (as a CNA in both LTC and Acute care) most, if not ALL, of the heavier, or harder to transfer patients. The look of shock when I asked for help was almost priceless. It did, overtime however, seem to make the assignments split more fairly

It's been quite some time since I took my CNA boards, but here's my advice: Study the night before. However, the morning you go to test, relax. I know, easier said than done, but It really makes a difference. The expression "sleep on it" comes to mind:) Eat a good breakfast. It'll really help you to concentrate! Be sure to demonstrate or announce verbally about your hand washing technique. Very important. Also, remember to explain everything you do, or plan to do, to the mock "patient". Hope that helps, and Good Luck! R-
