So please keep me in your prays as I take my state exam this friday. I wasnt nervous at the thought of it but now its getting to me a bit,lol. I'll keep everyone posted on my results! Thanks!:D

Try not to worry. I was so keyed up for my certification exam, I didn't sleep the night before.

Remember, there is a time frame to complete skills. Don't look at it like a time limit. During one of my skills evaluations, I stopped and said to the examiner I needed so start over. I realized I left out an important step. The examiner said "You have more than half of your allotted time left, tell me when you are sure you are done."

I repeated that skill slowly and deliberately. I passed.

Take your time, start over if necessary. Trust your training and listen to your conscience.

Good Luck!

thanks everyone for your words of encouragment. i have great news i passed!:wink2: i stayed up all night as well nervous about what was to come. i had to take my skills test first which i wasn't as comfortable with. the five skills i had was denture care, blood pressure, dressing a resident, ambulatory and weighting, and hand washing. i was so nervous when i did blood pressure that i had did it 3 times. the person i had did it on was the examiners 12 yr old grandson. so it was hard to find his brachial pulse. since his arm was small. also the first time i couldnt hear through the stethoscope since i had them in my ear the wrong way. i was really nervous for some odd reason.:uhoh3: but, i passed all five of my skills not leaving anything out.

on the written exam i got a 80% which i thought i had did better but still not bad for no sleep and a nervous shake,lol. once again thanks you everyone. so now i'm a cna !!!!:yeah:
