Taking the NY state board exam for cna this friday- Need Help!

Published

Hi,

I am taking the CNA state board for ny this friday and i am very nervous. I was hoping somebody has already taken the exam and can give me a few tips to ease the nervousness and anxiety...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go online to NY Prometric and print out the skill's checklist. It tells you EXACTLY what the RN examiner is grading you on for each skill. What part of NY are you in? City, Long Island, Upstate? It wasn't nearly as hard as I was told it would be to get a job in a hospital without knowing someone. I was surprised I was offered two. I thought for sure I would end up in LTC for a year first. There are jobs in NY for CNA's :) Good luck!!!!

I am in Staten Island....I just wanna pass the exam first and then worry about work! But i have been told there are tons of jobs 4 cnas in new york and new jersey....Thanks again, Paws!

Hi Everyone,

Here's an update....i took the test today. It wasnt as bad as i thought but it was a bit nerve racking! and you know what? I was first for the clinical portion. I think I had pretty easy skills: Footcare, change position, and pulse. I was nervous so i think i forgot to close privacy curtain once and i think my pulse was off. What really got me was that during different parts of the test, the examiner would be on her ipad and she didnt come to close when i was doing footcare. The only time she really fully observed me was when i was doing handwashing and taking pulse. I am such a worry wart! Even the written test seemed a bit tricky in parrts...i really pray i passed! I will update you guys as i get results! Again, Thanks so much for your encouragement nd support!

You can go online tonight to see if you passed the skill's portion. I had those same exact skills when I went first! What a coincidence!
