Here we are!!

May 20th!!!

CNA Test Day!

okay, Here's how it went. I had to wake up around like 6-6:30am! Untypical for me. I usually get around 7. I get picked up by my lovely Chris, we go get coffee for the big day. I arrive at the school just in time at 7:30. I go into the testing room to take the written portion. It's starts at 8. It was pretty basic stuff. I few questions were BULLSHIT! cuz my nursing class didn't go over some material. Like WTF is a Bed Cradle?? and How to put on restraints??? Anyways..Besides those questions, I think I did very well. Mmhm. So after I'm done, I get to leave the room and go back to our classroom where we get to wait til the evaluators call your name. I got done with the written around 9 and they called me in at 12:40!!! That's so many hours to wait. I was one of the last people to test. Ugh. All my friends tested and then left. such support! So when I got called I went into a different class, where everything is set up. I get partnered with another classmate to be my client, and I get this boy from AM class who I don't know!!! The evaluator gives me a card with the list of skills I need to perform. I get Hand washing (everyone gets this skill), Pulse, Foot care, feeding, and Position on side. Hand washing, Pulse, and positioning were easy. On the feeding and foot care, I kept forgetting some steps! Like washing the client's hands beforehand, Sitting next to them while feeding, and providing privacy on foot care. But that's not much to miss. It's not like a missed a CRITICAL step. Well I have 14 days to figure out if I passed or not.
