Tips to pass Florida CNA

Lifeswar · Sep 25, 2009

I actually just passed my CNA today ;p. Soo happy and relived, it's unbelievable.

I had Denture care, urinary bag measurement and a transfer. The denture care one was probably the only one out of the 20 skills that yeah I didn't feel at all comfortable with.

You're going to get one measurement skill, one movement skill and one skill involving water, no matter what. From what I saw today everyone got 1 hard skill and two easy ones.

It was a lot easier than what I thought it was going to be. Just take your time, slow your brain down, and just do what feels natural, common sense stuff and you should do fine.

Remember not to rush, take your time and think about what you're doing.

If you feel like your freezing up and your mind goes blank just close your eyes and take a few breaths, you have plenty of time to do everything.

STUDY STUDY your 21 skiils and know them by heart! I freezed during mine and i thought i failed even though, i knew them all. I had the easy ones feeding, positioning, and urinary measurement. INFECTION CONTROL IS IMPORTANT! That saved my butt! I did used infection control on all 3 and i passed

Got my license in march. Still having a problem finding a decent job

say everything out loud. like you're explaining what you're gonna do to the patient. it worked for me. plus the examiners love that stuff. some people find it difficult working with a manniquin, also. i just "pretended" and thought of it like that and made sure i was interacting with the "patient" as much as possible. i think i made a few mistakes, as far as exact steps, but my i think my examiner let it slide because of me interacting so much.

good luck and remember out loud.
