CNA Class

On Thursday July 29, 2010 I past my final exam for my CNA Class. The then gave me a voucher for taking the State tests. I finished my clinical. The first clinical was on Tuesday last week. I was awesome. I had an awesome CNA who pretty much let me do everything. I also got very Attached to a resident. She reminded me so much of my late Grandma Wheeler. She always wanted to hold my hand and at the end of the day she wanted me to come back at 10 the next day. The best thing I did that day was I got to help feed some of the patients. Very humbling experience. Most of the residents ate better when I was there. It was such a cool experience. The second clinical wasn't so great. My CNA kept leaving me. I spent most of my time looking for the CNA and changing garbage liners. Also I was the only one who seemed to care about the call lights. People working there didn't even notice them. But at this clinical I did get to witness a colostomy bag change and see a man change his condom catheter. Quite the experience. Monday and Thursday of last week were skills days. We Practiced and reviewed the skills that were on the state test. Thursday at the end of class I took my final. I missed 18 questions. I would have only missed 13 had I not gone back over the test when I was finished. I second guessed myself. But I past at least. You could miss 25 questions on the final. I just sent my Voucher in to take the State exam. I'm not so worried about the written exam as I am for the Skills exam. The Skill exam you have to demonstrate all the skills. It's Kind of like speaking in public. I hate to do that. Wish me luck. I will let you know when I am going to take the State test.
