I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO WATCH THESE VIDEOS. I had my skill test today and this skill was one of them. The instructor was like congratulations to whoever trained you. It's you Nurse jar thanks so much 🙏 💟
Ms. Julie, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I just passed both written and skills exams in one take. I watched your training videos until the last minute before my skills test. Your explanations of each step are very clear. I admire your dedication for making these videos. I appreciate you.
I wanted to say thank you so much for all the videos you have made and posted.I had failed my test back in August and just took the exam yesterday 10/02/2023 and passed. I love that you go into detail with every video of what to do and not to do. Again thank you. Your videos are the best.
This is an EXCELLENT video. Thank you for pointing out that my hands need to touch the bed as I support the wrist & the elbow. I didn't know. I am so grateful to you for explaining that aspect of this skill. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this incredibly AWESOME video. I truly appreciate it!
High praises to you Julie, thank you so much for these helpful videos. With your help, I have passed my CNA exam today in Minnesota. I did not take the classes prior, so I was a test out canidate (it conflicted too much with my job, and the CNA is required for nursing school). I couldn't have done it without you. Your videos have been replaying on my phone for the past month straight, sometimes even while I was sleeping. You are truly a gift to us all. Thank you!!!! ❤
This is my Daily Devotion! -- Your videos, along with my Pearson Vue 'Bible' are literally searing this information into my brain! Thank you Infinity x2!! ~Regina
Nurse JAR, I am too Thankful to you for sharing your knowledge with the world. Before watching your videos, I previously failed twice on my N.C. skills exam. Just wasnt confident! I want to Thank you, I watched and preformed with you on a daily basis. November 6th 2020 I successfully passed and I owe it to you and your teachings. THANK YOU
Thank you! Glad to hear my videos are helpful. Good Luck with testing! Please, update me to let me know how you did. Also, what city/state will you be testing in?
I am 49 and am working my way toward my RN. My CNA state test in Wisconsin is Monday! I am watching your videos all weekend. I also work on an ambulance but this is a whole different thing. Thanks for what you do.
Hi, Dormie! Goid luck on your exam. You'll do fine. Verbalize everything you do. This will help ease your nerves. Let me know how you do. SMASH that CNA exam!!!
Hello Mrs. JulieI love all of your videos- I have actually learned more from your videos than I am in class. I started school 2 weeks ago and this is a totally new field for me (so I am truly starting from scratch lol). I live in Vermont so I will keep you informed on how things are going. Thank you again for all of your great videos Jazzy

Love your videos SUPERRE HELPFUL!!! I take my exam April 24th super excited and nervous but I’m ready because of your chanel keep teaching us more and more !!🙏

I’m so ready & have confidence that I’m going to pass bc I watch ur videos Morning Evening & Night !! I’m so excited about my test date ! Thank u , Thank u Mrs. Julie ! You r a BLESSING to all us upcoming CNAs ❤️
Thank you for the videos, they have been very helpful. I have a question, couldn't we raise the bed to ensure we are using proper body mechanics while performing these exercise?
Hi, Andrea! Whether the step is critical or not, you should always verbalize what you are going to do before you do it. Remember, communication is one of the 5 Indirect Care Skills that are also evaluated!
Hi @nursejar I am taking my prometric exam on December 15,2023 and this test is going to be in Oahu, Hawaii, does it matter if I watch your videos? Is it the same process?
Hi, Grace! No. When performing PROM, the resident has to be in supine position. Either have the person scootch down in the bed or remove the headboard.
Hi, Jessica! Yes. You may raise the level of the bed if necessary. Just remember to place it back in a low, safe position before moving away from the bedside.
Only if you would like to do so. Body Mechanics is not scorable during testing. I encourage nurse aide candidates not to do so unless absolutely necessary (if the candidate is very tall), because he/she might forget to lower the level of the bed before they walk away. This would cause them to get tagged for "safety".
Hi, I.M.! Yes, it does. If the Examiner makes the correction, you will not receive credit for the step. The only time they will make a correction is when it involves "safety".
Hi, Crystaldarlingg! Those exercises are not required to be performed during testing. For this testable skill, flexion & extension and abduction & adduction are the only exercises the candidate is required to perform.
Hi, Amber! First, I know you SMASHED that CNA exam!!! And, yes, the Evaluator has to be present to observe and evaluate your performance. The NAE is also present during the written portion of the exam to monitor the test takers.
Oops I meant say two evaluators for the skills portion? Like I only had 1 for the written but then another joined us for the skills. Thank you, your videos have been a really big help.
JULIE REYNOLDS hmm okay I had two during my skills portion today the first evaluator didn’t even tell us another one was going to be there and it made me more nervous
Hi, Horn Man! If this occurs, you will need to inform the Evaluator. He or she will either check for themselves and/or will have you perform this skill on the opposite arm. If the Evaluator determines that either arm is unable to reach the level of the person's ear, he or she will stop your time, and will call on another testing candidate for you to perform this skill on
Hi, Kaylee! Really? You must not be watching my updated "2019" videos. If you watched an earlier released video, it wasn't that I performed the skill "wrong", it was performed according to the guidelines at that time. I have since created and uploaded a new hand hygiene video in accordance with the NNAAP 2018 Skills Updates.
Because the CNA test defies all logic that is tied to reality. It's ridiculous really. We're taught unnecessary crap in order to pass the test. You fail if you don't do one simple thing like give the call light when in reality I've seen CNA's that don't do a single thing that these videos tell you to do. It's all for the "test."
I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO WATCH THESE VIDEOS. I had my skill test today and this skill was one of them. The instructor was like congratulations to whoever trained you. It's you Nurse jar thanks so much 🙏 💟
H, Sasha! Oh, WOW!!! Awesome! CONGRATULATIONS and thank you! Happy to hear my videos were instrumental in your passing your exam!

I take my test on Thursday in Florida and I’m so scared. But your videos are very informative
Hi, Pecan! Goid luck on your exam! Let me know how you do
JULIE REYNOLDS will definitely do so I’m so nervous.
@@pecantandoll9728 You got this!
For the test are we only doing one hip, knee ankle and one elbow and wrist, one shoulder. Or are we doing other parts of the body?
Thank you for the videos, they have been very helpful.
I have a question, couldn't we raise the bed to ensure we are using proper body mechanics while performing these exercise?
Hi, Christina! Yes, you may. But, if you are testing under Pearson Vue, body mechanics is not scored.
@@NURSEJAR thank you. I am testing under Pearson Vue.
For the critical steps do i have to say them aloud while doing them, or it's ok just doing them without saying what I'm doing.
Hi, Andrea! Whether the step is critical or not, you should always verbalize what you are going to do before you do it. Remember, communication is one of the 5 Indirect Care Skills that are also evaluated!
Hi @nursejar I am taking my prometric exam on December 15,2023 and this test is going to be in Oahu, Hawaii, does it matter if I watch your videos? Is it the same process?
With Pearson Vue is PROM only on shoulder? The elbow,wrist, is not tested?
This was awesome! What state are you in?
Thank you! I am in Texas.
@@NURSEJAROk, & Your Welcome😊
Could we raise the head of the bed in case the resident’s arm hits the headboard? (Our beds are different in my classroom)
Hi, Grace! No. When performing PROM, the resident has to be in supine position. Either have the person scootch down in the bed or remove the headboard.
Are those the only 2 motions you have to preform?
Hi, Angelica! Yes, for this skill.
Will this help you pass the redcross skills test ?
Hi, Ilycheei! I am not familiar with the testing process of Redcross.
What state is this for ? I'm in New York
Hi, Jennifer! These training videos are for all states that test under Pearson Vue.
For this skill can i raise the bed to working level position????
Hi, Jessica! Yes. You may raise the level of the bed if necessary. Just remember to place it back in a low, safe position before moving away from the bedside.
@@NURSEJAR thanks love❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a question..Don't you need to raise the bed to your level?
Only if you would like to do so. Body Mechanics is not scorable during testing. I encourage nurse aide candidates not to do so unless absolutely necessary (if the candidate is very tall), because he/she might forget to lower the level of the bed before they walk away. This would cause them to get tagged for "safety".
@@NURSEJAR Got it Thanks....
So nervous for my test
Hi, Tracytravis2301! It's okay to be nervous. This is normal. Just try not to be overly nervous. Good luck! Let me know how you do.
What if your examiner helps you before you were able to self correct? Does that count against you if you corrected after examiner mentioned anything?
Hi, I.M.! Yes, it does. If the Examiner makes the correction, you will not receive credit for the step.
The only time they will make a correction is when it involves "safety".
@@NURSEJAR Well I grabbed the bed controller/remote vs the call light but before I could correct she corrected me😩 didn't give me a chance
@@Amatullah.574 Yep, that's safety!
What about hyper extension And rotation of the shoulder?
Hi, Crystaldarlingg! Those exercises are not required to be performed during testing. For this testable skill, flexion & extension and abduction & adduction are the only exercises the candidate is required to perform.
@@NURSEJAR hopefully this applies to Massachusetts testing requirements 🙏🏼 thank you
@@crystallewis1205 Hi, Crystaldarlingg! If Massachusetts tests under Pearson Vue, it will be the same.
Was it just this exercise?
So question it's 2023 I was told by teacher not to extend arm pass ear is that correct
Hi, Michelle! You are correct. It's always been like that! You have to flex the arm to ear level, not past it.
Am taking my test tomorrow pls pray forme
Sending Prayers your way! Stay FOCUSED...Stay CONFIDENT! Good Luck! Let me know how you prevail.
Hi mam. I passed my text.thanks for your videos I passed my text
@@libertyskitchen2374 Alright! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Glad my videos helped!
Hi Ms.Julie is it normal to have to evaluators for the skills portion? I took both portions of the exam today and I pray that I smashed that exam
Hi, Amber! First, I know you SMASHED that CNA exam!!!
And, yes, the Evaluator has to be present to observe and evaluate your performance. The NAE is also present during the written portion of the exam to monitor the test takers.
Oops I meant say two evaluators for the skills portion? Like I only had 1 for the written but then another joined us for the skills. Thank you, your videos have been a really big help.
@@amberbingham6696 the only time you will have 2 evaluators is when one of those evaluators is being trained him- or herself.😊
JULIE REYNOLDS hmm okay I had two during my skills portion today the first evaluator didn’t even tell us another one was going to be there and it made me more nervous
@@amberbingham6696 it happens sometimes!
I HAVE PROBLEM WITH PRIVACY
Hi, Smith! What problems are you having with "privacy"?
What if when you're doing range of motion their arms can't go as far as their ear? Whay do I do?
Hi, Horn Man! If this occurs, you will need to inform the Evaluator. He or she will either check for themselves and/or will have you perform this skill on the opposite arm.
If the Evaluator determines that either arm is unable to reach the level of the person's ear, he or she will stop your time, and will call on another testing candidate for you to perform this skill on
Handwashing was wrong in one of her videos. I hope this works
Hi, Kaylee! Really? You must not be watching my updated "2019" videos. If you watched an earlier released video, it wasn't that I performed the skill "wrong", it was performed according to the guidelines at that time.
I have since created and uploaded a new hand hygiene video in accordance with the NNAAP 2018 Skills Updates.
Why would the patient need their call light if you are working with them. Seems silly.
Because the CNA test defies all logic that is tied to reality. It's ridiculous really. We're taught unnecessary crap in order to pass the test. You fail if you don't do one simple thing like give the call light when in reality I've seen CNA's that don't do a single thing that these videos tell you to do. It's all for the "test."
Are you not supposed to use gloves
Hi, Hajara! No. You are not required to wear gloves for this skill.
