I passed my test on the first try!!! Im in NYS and this was one of my skills, along with pulse and ROM of the elbow and wrist! I had so many delays with my program because of Covid and haven't been in the classroom since January. I used your videos to help me review and practice and I passed on my first try thanks to you videos!! I recommend to anyone who uses Prometric and is taking their test!!!
Hi, Kiara! CONGRATULATIONS! You #SmashedThatCNAExam!!! Happy to hear that my videos were instrumental in your passing your exam! Thanks for the referral!!!
I felt this! I had class sept 30th got done a few weeks ago my transfer went through but couldn’t take the actual test due to covid, so here I am reviewing and hoping like hell I pass
I took a fantastic local course. they made everything so smoothe. vaccines, background, setting up prometric exam. volunteering etc…. (for example I missed one question on the written test). but wow did they fail on the skills lol. I’ve worked in home health care for three years, sobI think that definitely worked against me lol. I didn’t feel great so I didn’t go in for last day of practice so MAYBE they pulled it together… but seriously the only reason I passed skills was watching your videos all night. THANK YOU!! Even where I failed to check if bed locked and call light, Ivoverdidceverything else so much I think the exam taker knew I knew what I was doing, I just wasn’t in my element. so Yeah. licensed and onboarding!!
I thank the LORD for you Nurse Jar🙌🏽,you’re such a beautiful soul.I watched your videos for a week and practice for one day all those skills and i passed the skills and written test!!!!❤I pray that you will never lack for anything 🙏🏽
I PASSed my test first try today (7/11) I am certified CNA now. I had only 10 days to be prepared after prometric scheduled my test day. I watched your video for a week. This was one of the skill I had to do. I am from Michigan. Thank you so much for everything you do. Your video was BEST instructed video!
Thank you so much you helped me pass my state exam this past weekend, one of the 3 test skill was a a partial bed bath and the whole time i follow your steps because i was watching the video in my head 😃 and felt very confident performing the skill. Thank you so much
Ms Reynolds I live in PA and my program instructor made us watch a lot of your videos that was back in October of 2019 I graduated from the program flying colors. I was terrified as ever to finally take my CNA State exam I am proud to say that with watching your videos I was prepared more than a little bit!!! Thank you so much! Keep teaching 🙏🏽
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for explaining why you aren't using a fresh spot of the facecloth on the torso and arms/legs. My class used the Hartmann videos and the video said to use 2-4 facecloths AND to make sure you only use one section for each stroke, not differentiating between face and other parts and I've been WRACKING my brain trying to figure out how on Earth you use 2-4 facecloths to wash and rinse AND not use a section more than once on the whole body. LOL. I'm in Massachusetts, which maybe has different rules, but since you specified "yes, one section on the face parts and no, not just one section on these others parts" it makes me think we have the same expectations in that regard. You have SAVED my brain. I could cry. LOL.
start taking clases online for PCA. and i been watching video for every lesson i been passing all my quizz too and i can say that i love it and i been learning alot.even more with your video. thank you very much

I love your video you explain each step so I understand all I need to do. Im preparing my exam soon I graduate today in CNA in Dallas,I watch your video I never forget what I need to do in my test soon. Hope upload more video,tips,and advice Julie. God bless I let you know soon if I passed ❤❤❤
Follow the video for state testing, but I have a few tricks I use at a hospital! State testing and where you start working can have different techniques. Again, follow her steps for the actual testing! Always have a draw sheet (basically just a shortened flat sheet) that lies under the patient so that when you pull the sheet towards you the patient shifts with it, therefore, you can also turn the patient as well as scooting them closer to in case they cannot help you turn. Some patients can’t even move their arm let alone turn over and hold a side rail for you! Another tip is to just bring two blankets and a new sheet (usually I just replace the entire bedding; fitted sheet, pillow case etc). Remove the old blanket and place in soiled bin. Use one clean blanket to cover while bathing and one to replace their old blanket. Instead of fiddling with the gown and sheet just untie, untuck (from under their buttocks or back) and unbutton the gown but leave it in place. Place the bath blanket over them and then remove the gown and flat sheet completely while maintaining privacy. No need to have a flat sheet over them while you have a blanket covering! Also, look into how to wash a patients hair that is bedridden! Hospitals have rinse-less shower caps you can use that work well for total care or bedridden patients. I know of techs that actually wash their patients hair with water, haven’t gotten that advanced yet!
Good Morning, Miss. I am not very practical with English, my name Maria de Jesus Vargas, mine is elementary English. I must do to the CNA Practicum. Ido not speak that English, but I understood all your excellent explanations. I know that I live in the Unite States and the lenguage is English. l live in Florida you can imagine everithing is in Spanish. l used the language translator to write to him, Grazie
So I keep seeing all of your videos that you walk away from a bed that is in a high position. My CNA instructor told me that I failed instantly if I walked any more than an arms like the way from a bed. Is this true? Or can you walk away from a bed that's up as long as you put it down at the end of the scale? I'm in Massachusetts if that matters.
Can you walk away with the bed in high position? Or would you fail the skill for that? Such as walking away to wash rinse and dry the basin or putting away supplies?
My instructor told me to greet the resident and explain the procedure, safety check, privacy etc. before gathering supplies. Do you think it matters? I'm in NY if that means anything. Thank you for all of these videos by the way, they're so helpful!
Please NURSE JAR, help us in other PROMETRIC skills. You know they are new like I 've been trained for PEARSON Vue before their contract in Texas was terminated. Thank you and God bless.
Hi, Marie! For Prometric, you should collect 5 washcloths: 1-Face; 2-washing of behind the ears, neck, torso, flanks, arm, hand and underarm; 3-rinsing of behind the ears, neck, torso, flanks, arm, hand and underarm; 4-wasing of back; and, 5-rinsing of back. Hope I answered your question!
Can you verbalize wash hands or do you have to actually physically wash your hands during each skill? Because wouldnt physically washing hands each time waste time?
Hi, N Niq! The only time you need to raise the side rail is when you are turning the person away from you. Whichever side you are turning the person to, that's the side rail you will need to raise. Hope I answered your question!
Thank you for all your videos. I took my cna exams back in September but I have to repeat the skills again. But I dont have all the prometric videos apart from the ones I watch on your channel, also I wanted to know if all the skills are the same with pearson vue.
Hi Julie I noticed in the video when you washed the body you didn't use different parts of the rag. I have to take the exam in Pennsylvania am i supposed to use a different part of the rag for the body or no?
Hi all. If we are providing peri-care right after our partial for our skills testing, does anyone know if we put the clients clean gown on before we start peri-care or afterwards?
Hi, Lauriejeremic84! Each skill is performed independently. You must fully complete one skill before starting on your next skill. If you are testing under Prometric, you will be required to perform opening procedures before each individual skill.
So do we get to do this in class? I’m starting my PCT program tomorrow and I’m so excited. My first class is all online then I get to do both in person and online for 8 months 😊
Hi, Megan! I'm excited for you! Good luck with your training! All instructors train differently, so I cannot tell you what to expect! But, yes, you should receive hands-on skills practice.
Hi, Badyaya5392! No, this video is for Prometric. Person Vue and Credentia has a "Modified Bed Bath" skill. If you test under Credentia, you should watch my training videos in the "Pearson Vue/Credentia" playlist.
Wait, I'm confused. I just took the CNA class (in Washington state) and we were taught (and it's in our booklet) that this skill only tests washing the face/arm, and that it's performed on a live person. Is it different for washington, or will I need to wash their torso/back when I take the test next week?
I never do CNA yet but to be sincerely I hope to do it.i like your video the video is so good I want to do a CNA and I believe if I do it I will be perfectly honest. And I need your contacts please
Hi, Kerrigan! No, because you are required to only clean the face, neck, behind the ears, the torso, one arm, hand and underarm, and the person's back. You will need to place a towel under the person's head, the arm you are going to clean, and behind the person's back.
Hello Teacher thanks to your teachings, your techniques and your Videos. The Practice was excellent, the Teacher congratulated me. But the questions that were measured at the School had nothing to do with the one from Prometric to Practice and they have nothing to do with the questions l studied from the Book, l am very sorry to say it. Now love been withdrawn from work until l take the written exam l can't work. I was so hopeful that l wouldn't pass the written exam. I'm out of a job. Basically Care provided by the nurse 12.0 - Role of Nursing Assistant 9.00 - Provide specialized care to residents 6.00 - Promoting the function and health of residents 6.00 - Safety Promotion 4.00, those were the results of the writing, the Practical was excellent. God bless You, and thank ereverything. Grazie
Hi, Allett! Thank you for your input. I try to do the best I can with the equipment I have. Hopefully, you are able to get the jest of how the skill is performed visually. Sorry about the poor audio quality in this video.
@@NURSEJAR I really appreciate what I I see and I will be doing my exam next year February I from Jamaica, I looking forward to seeing more of your videos Blessing ...!
