How Does the CNA Exam Work? - 4YourCNA 

Cna exam is really difficult, i don’t know the reason why i failed after studying so hard..

Having been a CNA, I believe makes you an even better nurse. There are life lessons you learn doing CNA work. (Gmail name)Congratulations on passing your exam!!

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success

Do you have any suggestions on programs??? I'm looking into programs rn. I went to college and got a BA in psych, so not nursing… Which is kinda why I'm in a bit of a cross road between fast track programs or not

I had interest in working with him in the past but i was discouraged by friends and family, i was being ignorant though 😔

That is awesome! Congratulations and we wish you great success in your new career! :-)

Do you use Prometric? Which state are you??

Kayla W I take mine next week and I know everything! But I’m so nervous. This video put me a little at ease knowing I’d be paired with another student who might be as nervous as me. Congratulations BTW!!!!

@@4yourcna and about 2/3 years later writing back to you. Yes, my test was successful that day!

Passing the CNA exam is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don’t have time for your studies I’d advise you get yourself a help like Mr. Albert

We will keep you in our thoughts and wish you the very best of luck! Remember to follow the care plan exactly!! :-)

I passed my test on Saturday for CNA refresher

Congratulations! That is awesome! Best of luck in your new career! :-)

For the written test, it's all about the patient! Don't treat them like children, protect their rights, promote safety and report all observations to the nurse. We are proud of you for passing your skills test and know you will do great on the written test next time! Our FREE online CNA Test Prep course on courses.4YourCNA.com will be helpful as you prepare to re-test...and it's FREE!

Do you use Prometric ?? Which state are you??

Same thing happen to me

@@stacey-annpurrier8974 Florida and I passed this test long time ago thx God

What state are you in? Most states have both a clinical skills and written exam for CNA state boards, but there are one or two that don't. :-) We wish you the best of luck in your exam!

Hello Rhea, I'm curious; what State are you in that does not require a skills test? Thanks!

Rhea Ayane where do you live

We hope you were successful and wish you luck as you test today! :-)

We are keeping you in our thoughts! You will do great! Best of luck and let us know how you did! :-)

We hope you were successful! Best of luck in your new career!

4yourCNA yaaaay!!! Passed my exam and its all thanks to you🙌i only ever watched your videos and have been recommending them to my frenz👍👍👍thank you sooo much🤘🏼

That is awesome! We love hearing success stories! We wish you great success in your new career!

We hope you were successful and wish you luck! :-)

You will introduce yourself at the beginning of every skill. Handwashing is not the first skill. You will wash your hands DURING the first skill, both before care and after care. But the first skill on your care plan will not be handwashing. Hope this helps and best of luck!

4yourCNA I live in NY, and I’ve spoke with both my teacher and current CNA’s who took the NY state examination test & they’ve all told me hand washing is the first skill, followed by 3 other skills... so maybe it’s different where you’re from. Thanks though.

Yes, washing hands is definitely the first skill

Thank you for your comment and we are happy that you are finding our resources helpful! :-) If you are enjoying these presentations, please don't forget to subscribe and give us a thumbs up!

Of course !

No, drawing blood is NOT a CNA skill. Dressing, bathing, feeding, grooming, mobility and vital signs are generally testing skills for CNAs. Hope this helps!

We hope you passed!

If you fail all 3 attempts, you would need to complete a 120 hour program with clinicals in order to be eligible to re-test. Most colleges offer this program and no, it is not free. You would need to contact your local college or trade school for pricing. Floridasnursing.gov publishes a listing of all licensed 120 hour programs in Florida. Good luck!

Sorry for the delay in responding. We have free practice questions on 4yourcna.com under "Training". Hope this helps! Good luck on your exam!

No...but there are 5 CATEGORIES of questions...and you need to pass each CATEGORY. So, it's tricky. I can't tell you "You can miss 10 questions and still pass" because if all 10 are safety questions...you won't pass. Hope this helps!

In our online program! Our FREE online CNA Test Prep has the clinical skills checklist for every skill within the lesson. Check it out at courses.4YourCNA.com!

That's our mission! :-)

Yes, you will PERFORM the skill alone, but you have to have a "patient" to perform the skills ON. That's the role the other testing student will be assigned - as your patient. We have an entire presentation on this in our online CNA Test Prep! It's free (for just a few more weeks) and has interactive activities, quizzes and more. It goes way beyond the skills videos we offer on RU-vid. Check it out on courses.4YourCNA.com!

Elisa Johnson Don’t give up girly, give it another try.

Did you took the test again ?

Prometric states include: AL, AR, CT, DE, FL, HI, ID, MI, NM, NY, OK. Other states use different testing companies. While the procedures may be similar, the scenarios and testing checkpoints may vary slightly. You should always check the clinical skills checklist for your state for specific testing scenarios. The Nurse Aide Candidate Guide for MA can be found at www.redcross.org/ma/boston/testing. Thank you for your comment!

In Oklahoma you have to bring your on patient can't bring someone work/study in medical field & you have to pass clinical test first then written test if you dont pass clinical you can't go to written test.

How interesting! Thank you for sharing! I had no idea that you had to bring your own patient - that's unique. It is interesting to see the differences between states in regards to testing standards. Thanks! :-)

We are happy you are finding our videos helpful. All of our videos provide valuable testing tips, so be sure to watch all of the series! Best of luck!

California has both American Red Crosd (Association or Nationally Accepted Program) and also what most states have is the official NNAAP (Natl' Nurse Aide Assessment Program) which currently tests about 70% of new NAs nationally in 27 US States & Terr./Wash DC. You can get the NACEP (testing) information through PearsonVue's Website or going directly to NNAAP & MACEs website. California and most States are nothing like these online videos! Florida is one of the few States that in-regards to the Federal guidelines offers both the NACEP & the NATCEP paths to Certification. Nurse aides are not Federally mandated to required to have "institutionalized" or State approved facility training, but they are required to either offer the NATCEP (training & competency evaluation) or the CEP (competency evaluation program of skills demonstration & written/oral knowledge based test unless the State waives that part with a different set of requirements to show minimum standard requirements of new NAs for the 1st day of employment). To usually take the CEP in most States need to provide other requirements from LPN/RN training, or Military training or being licensed currently/previously in another jurisdiction. So check with Sacramento before taking California State Approved Program which is way up there at 180 hours I believe? That's not cheap but if you pass the NACEP and get a job with a CMS approved facility (skilled nursing homes and federal approved medicaid Home Health Agencies

Evn Schstr Thank you for taking the time to post this. I'm almost done with my program and will be taking the Pearson VUE on May 2nd. I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm sorry for your experience, but there is not much you can do, other than file a grievance with your state board of nursing. It is heartbreaking to fail the exam after studying hard and I certainly understand. All I can say is to keep studying, don't give up and try again! Our online test prep program might help you study...it is FREE and located at courses.4YourCNA.com. Give it a try!

No, catheter care will be demonstrated on a manikin for the exam. You will not have to play the role of the patient for that skill. You might find our FREE online CNA Test Prep course helpful, as it covers this topic and much more. It is located at courses.4YourCNA.com - check it out, it's FREE!
