@@briannarivera7904 Awesome! Yes, Crystal is in one of my training class periods.

Hi, Brianna! My videos are based on the NNAAP standards for states testing under Pearson Vue. However, I've had some Subscribers who test under Prometric and/or Headmaster whom have passed their certification exams using my videos.

Hi, J10-K! Good luck with your training!

Hi, Jayda! Glad my videos are helpful! Try not to let your nerves get the best of you. They will mess you up during testing. Stay positive and confident.

What state will you be testing in?

@@NURSEJAR I'm going to be testing in Florida

@@NURSEJAR hi miss julie I just came out of my test. I PASSED!!! thank you so much for your amazing videos they were so helpful. God bless you!!!❤❤

@@jaydaruiz3839 Hi! Fantastic!!! CONGRATULATIONS! You #SMASHTHATCNAEXAM!!!

Hi, Pecan! You'll do just fine! SMASH that CNA exam!

Hi, Farhia! Yep! Why did you wait so long?

Hi, Joyce! Good luck with your career change! If you have any questions, just ask!

@@NURSEJAR Plan on going to check out some programs here in Chicago Illinois that have it. Is it possible to take some online courses? Regarding C.N.A.? If you are associated in a school? Also wanna get my feet wet plan on looking at videos especially yours have been really helpful any suggestions for someone like me who is a begginer?

Thanks

@@joycebrooks5171 Hi! You will have to check with your State Board of Nursing in regards to online CNA courses. Most states do not recognize the online courses as the majority are not accredited. It would be a waste of your time and money. Now, online refresher courses are available. I am actually working on one. These courses do not have to be accredited as they are not part of the formal training. Immerse yourself in your studies. Volunteer to demonstrate skills in class. Participate in classroom discussion. Watch my videos!!! Ask questions, especially the "WHY?" question. When you know the "why", you will gain a better understanding of theory and Clinical. Be responsible for your learning. Take what your instructor instills in you and carry it home to practice outside the classroom setting. Ooh! I could go on and on with advise!!! But, these are the most pertinent.

@@NURSEJAR Thank you so much I just need some help thanks alot omg. I look forward to seeing them will they be free courses or how will that work?

Hi, Salendra! The only time you will want the client's knees or legs to be touching the bed and/or wheelchair is when you are assisting them to sit on the bed and/or wheelchair. When assisting the person to sit at the side of the bed, you must continue to assist them ( hands on the person) until there feet are flat on the floor. If not, you will AUTOMATICALLY FAIL this skill. As far as Order Dependent steps, if the are order dependent on each other, you must perform them in the order as listed in your handbook. With this skill, steps 3 through 8 are order dependent, but not on each other. They are order dependent to step 9. Therefore, steps 3-8 may be performed in any order as long as you perform them before you perform step 9. Hope I answered your question!

Hi, Aaron! CONGRATULATIONS on passing your written knowledge test! You'll succeed on your skills test next go around. Keep that positive attitude!

Hi, Lydia! Depends on where you are at with your competency and your dedication and discipline to study.

Hi, Lindi! You may download your state's nurse aide candidate handbook online. Your handbook will list all testable skills.

Hi, Iyssa! Prometric does not specify whether or not the testing candidate has to physically place the person's shoes on their feet. It states only that the candidate has to ensure that the person is wearing non-skid footwear before standing the person. Therefore, I think it is safe to say that, as long as the testing candidate initiates the putting on of the person's, you will receive credit for that step.

JULIE REYNOLDS thank you so much 😊

Do non skid socks also count? The hospital ones that have the sticky stuff underneath :) thank you so much!

Hi, Shantay! Yes, Mam!

Yes

Hi, Raquel! Yes, you do. All items must be disposed of and placed back into storage before stating "washing hands, skill complete",

Hi, Deemyra! Steps 3-7 are not order dependent on each other; therefore, steps 3-7 may be performed in any order as long as you perform them BEFORE assisting the person to stand. Be careful with STEP #7. If the transfer (gait) belt is touching the person's street clothes, you will not receive credit for this step. So, ensure the person's gown is closed completely in the back as much as possible. I encourage nurse aide candidates to secure the gown in place with the waist straps immediately after assisting the person to a seated position on the side of the bed. I also encourage them to readjust or re-check the gown before and after assisting the person to stand. Hope I answered your question!

Hi, LaShawnte! Here is the link to Arkansas' Skills List: Arkansas Nurse Aide Exam | Prometric www.prometric.com/nurseaide/ar

JULIE REYNOLDS Thank You

Hi, Melissa! Yes, you may!

NURSE JAR thank you for your response😊.

Step #6 is performed correctly when the testing candidate assists the client to a seated position with his/her feet flat on the floor.

Oh ok got it thank you.

Hi, Ramil! It's best to wear your training scrubs and tennis shoes that can be easily removed and put on.

Hi, Kiara! Yes, in real life. But during testing, candidates will be wearing shoes.

@@NURSEJAR thank you for answering so promptly! I was trained with the non skid socks that's why I asked, they are provided at my testing site I believe. But I'll shoot for shoes!

@@kiararivera505 No problem! But, if your testing site uses the non-skid socks, you will have to use them if the person is not wearing non-skid shoes.

Not quite sure what you are asking!

I am half way through with my class and I am nervous about the skills exam as well but I wish you the best of luck!

Hi, April!! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do.

Hi, Carrie. These skills are for all states that fall under Pearson Vue as the Authorized Test Administrator. California is under Pearson Vue. However, "Provides Catheter Care for Female" is not testable in the state of California.

@@NURSEJAR Thank you!

Hi, A S! Not quite sure what you are asking. If you're asking about the cost, different training centers charge a different amount. Cost can range anywhere from $750 to $3500. If you are asking about the length of time of training, again, it all depends on the training institution. Training cycles may last anywhere from 3-week fast track programs to 6 months to a full year. If I did not answer your question, please comment. Thank You!

Some schools have technical center ( High School) it was completely free

Hi, Iciagu! No. This skill does not require the wearing of gloves.

Hi, S. C.! These videos are for training for candidates who will be testing. However, in real life, for a patient who is immobile or cannot bear their own body weight, you would not be ambulating them. If you needed to transfer a patient as such, you would use a mechanical lift with 2-person assist.

Yes, you are correct.

@@NURSEJAR you didn't do it right

@@jeneralirobert Hmmm! Okay.

@@NURSEJAR perhaps the client should place hands slightly below your shoulders. You didn't ask the client whether they are dizzy

@@jeneralirobert This training video is for Pearson Vue. Asking the client about dizziness is not a required step for Pearson Vue. As far as the placement of the client's hands, you will want him or her to place their hands on the bed so they can help push themselves off the bed when being assisted to stand. Thank you for your observations.

Hi, Bertha! So sorry to hear this. Do you know what caused you to fail?

The pulse also I was so scared

@@berthagustave7452 You have to try your best to relax your nerves during testing. If not, they will get the best of you. Do you know exactly why you failed the Radial Pulse skill, and what areas of the written exam that caused you to fail?

I really don’t the person was my patient she said I did good I really don’t for me I feel like I did good in both of them yesterday I got the email I didn’t pass. I lives in Boston the place I went to take my exams I didn’t like it. I will reschedule in February

@@berthagustave7452 Okay. The email should consists of what steps you preformed incorrectly and/or omitted during your performance of this skill.
