Ha yes sorry meant on shoulders not around neck! I am hearing recommendations for both no contact from patient when helping up and contact around shoulders. It doesn't specify in the NC CNA manual so I guess it doesn't matter for the exam?

Oh wow Nina lol! May I ask what state? I think some states specifically require or recommend them.

Do you allow a patient to put their arms around your neck when transferring from a bed? Seems to depend on who you ask, I've heard yes and no from different people. I'm wondering if there's a correct answer for the CNA exam? The NC handbook does not mention this from what I can tell so maybe it doesn't matter as far as the exam goes?

So sad... and ironic I was just reading my CNA exam study guide and this one question goes, "You are walking by a resident's room & hear a nurse shouting at a resident. This is _____." It says the correct answer is "verbal abuse." I agree, yelling at someone is never justified and should never be tolerated.

I am wondering if I should wear scrubs for my CNA exam this weekend in NC? The handbook just says wear loose-fitting clothing. But I saw one post on here recommending scrubs for a candidate in FL to look "more professional." That sounds good in theory but I don't want to be the only one wearing scrubs and stand out. I'm curious how others feel about this, besides the obvious fact I am over-thinking this haha
