What skills did YOU get at the CNA state exam?

[emily_ganshert]

What did you think was most difficult?

[Serendipity, PCT]

I got:

1. Vitals

2. Change of Position

3. Partial Bed Bath

...Obviously the latter was the more difficult skill. Or at least the most "involved".

In MD our final exam counts as a CNA competency test. However if you plan on working in an LTC you have to be licensed as a Geriatric Nursing Assistant. Anyways we had both written & practical. The written test was I think 60 or 70 q's. Then on practical I had:handwashing, count respirations, clean dentures, administer bedpan, & feed pt. who cannot feed self

We all had the same stuff. And the person who gave us the test was one of our clinical instructors, so she'd already seen us in action for a lot of stuff. We got hand washing, TPR, ROM (different body parts though), and the other 2 skills were whatever she popped in for during clinical. Like you'd be getting ready to give someone a bed bath and she'd come in and watch the whole time and afterward she'd tell you that was your skill. lol.
