This is an EXCELLENT tutorial!!! I am a CNA, and have been for years, and this is hands down the best tutorial I've seen!!! I was very impressed that you included the shoulder adjustment after placing the leg pillow!

Hi Ms. Julie! Thank you for all your videos. It was a very big help for me to gain more confidence to perform my skills on my exam day . Your videos are awesome and very detailed. I passed my written & skills exam!!☺ God bless you more and more🙏🙏🙏 again,thank you very very much!!
Hi, Sherylove! Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS! You #SmashedThatCNAExam!!! So happy to hear that my videos played an instrumental role in your passing your exam!
I would suggest that you should also put the other side rail on her left side just to make sure that in case the pillow would slipped or detached from her back. Safety is the main concern. Thanks for sharing your videos. Very educational. Thumbs up.
Hi, Rod! Thank you for your comment, suggestion compliment! There are a several definitive reasons as to why the nurse aide/nurse aide candidate should not raise the side rail on the opposite side. One, you have to understand that these training demonstration videos for nurse aide students/candidates who are in training and/or preparing to take their state nurse aide certification exam. Candidates have to follow and perform individual steps for each testable skill. Because their skills exam is timed, you do not want the candidate to perform any additional, unnecessary steps. Doing so would take away from the prescribed time they are given to complete all 5 assigned skills. Hence, causing them to fail their exam for not completing the exam in the alloted time. Second, even if my videos were demonstrating how to perform nursing tasks in a "real life" situation, you are not allowed to raise side rails unless the person has a doctor's order for use of side rails as enablers or padded side rails for seizure precautions. CMS (Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services) defines side rails as a restraint. OBRA (The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987) prohibits the use of restraints, as it is their (residents, patients, clients) to be free from restraints. The raising of side rails without a doctor's order is considered a form of abuse. Three, side rails do not keep the person safe. Many injuries and deaths have been linked to raised side rails due to patients who may be confused or spastic getting body parts trapped in the deadspace of the side rails. Again, thank you for your comment, suggestion and compliment!
I watched a lot of CNA videos but i love your video the most. I love how you detail everything. I watched 4 of your videos already but still have to watch more videos of other skills.
If only my mother was so accommodating. She has limited use of her legs, has severe dementia and is absolutely terrified throughout the entire process.
Im doing my skills tomorrow. I hope I pass this is my third try if I dont pass I’ll just go ahead and find another job to do. Im glad I found ur channel I kept watching your videos to keep the details on my mind. I hope I pass please pray for me.
@@NURSEJAR Nurse Jar!!! I passed!! Thank you so much Im so grateful to find you here on youtube. Thank u so much!!! Love lots! God bless you Nurse jar!
I watched all your videos in preparation for my NC CNA1 exam. I passed both skills and written portions on my first try. Thank you so much for your videos.
Thank you for the training videos. I don't know if you're aware but the updated 2019 range of motion videos for shoulder and leg and this video (positions on side) cuts off before u complete the training video.
Hello! Thanks for your comment. I just reviewed the videos you mentioned in your comment. All of them played to the end with me stating "skill complete". Not sure why they are not playing till the end for you.
Have a question real quick please, so the legs were uncovered to show us how to support the leg to place the pillow for support, taking the sheet off, but how will we do that during testing to not over expose our resident? Please and thank you.
Hello Nurse Jar, I watched your video but I do not understand at the point you told us not to do at the exam. It the time that you uncovered the leg and placed the pillow. I think that I need to uncover her leg and place the pillow; if not how I can place the pillow between her leg? Thank you.
@@NURSEJAR Hi Miss Julie I'm happy you just replied me🤗🙂I'm in new York just mailed my form to the state Board last week I'm waiting for there responses as to when I will be taking my exams I'm kinda nervous cuz it my first time and I don't want to fail anything at all so I cant wait for me to pass my exams🙂
I took my exam last month end and I passed I'm so happy....first time testing 🙂thanks again for the video God bless you Ma..I'm now in the real world in search of a job🙂
Are the procedures different for different states? During training we were told to always roll the resident towards you and never away. This was done in class and it was also performed this way by the staff in the nursing home where we did our clinicals. Also, we used 5 pillows. One under the head, one behind the back, one between the knees and ankles, one under the ankles, and the last was used to support the top arm and shoulder. I've also noticed that in other CNA skill videos (yours and others) that procedures were done in a way that we were told not to do. I have my exam next Tuesday and I am beyond nervous (I have testing anxiety) especially after trying to find skill videos that matched the way we were trained. Also, any advise you can give on how to get through the test while having such an anxiety issue (I'm worried about a panic attack and freezing up) would be great.
@@Orion42Lynx Hi, Orion! If I am not mistaken, the Authorized Test Administrator for the state of Michigan is Prometric. Prometric has its own Skills List which is different from Pearson View. There may be some required skills that are similar, but may have different steps. I strongly advise you to print and/or review the Nurse Aide Candidate Handbook or skills list review from Prometric if your instructor has not given you a copy. As far as your anxiety, don't let it get the best of you! Talking through your steps while performing the skill will help ease your anxiety and nervousness. Plus, communication is one of the five indirect care skills. I'm not quite sure of the time frame Prometric has set forth for the skills exam, but usually will be between 25 to 40 minutes depending on which skills you have on your skill card. Hope this was helpful!
Should the privacy be maintained after the skill? In some of the skills, sometimes you maintain the privacy and sometimes not. When should I know when to open the curtain or maintain the privacy? Thank you for your videos
Also.... Where is the privacy blanket and the fanning the sheet down so that you don't have to unmake the bed? I know this is a teaching video, but to do all steps is very helpful for those going to take the test.
I take my test February 16th and I’ve been out the class since September. I’ve been going thru these video like crazy too, but GOOD LUCK to you Ms Lady....You got this
I just wish I had the confidence and memorization down. I feel like I’m falling behind on my skills because it takes a while for me to get them checked off
Hi, Lisa! Sorry to hear this. Try practicing outside of your training environment. The more you practice, the more performing the skills will become second nature to you.
Would I be able to higher the bed while doing the skill so that I'm not having to bend down so much? Or does the bed have to stay low during the skill?
Hi, Lulu! You may raise the height of bed to a level that is comfortable for you to perform the skill (body mechanics). Just remember to lower it to a safe level before stating, "skill complete".
One question when finish position client on one side, do I put the bed rail down before ending the skill while client is facing on one side, or keep the rail up?
Hi, Noella! Goid question! The lowering of side rails is not scorable. Therefore, you may opt to keep it raised or you may opt to lower it. For time management, I instruct my students not to lower it, as some side rails can be time consuming to lower.
Hi, Marton1300! During testing, you'll be required to wash your hands with actual water and soap only once during the skill "Hand Hygiene". Any time after that, you'll need only to verbalize "washing hands" whenever a skill requires you to do so.
Hi, Tomm and Jerry! Thank you! Of course I'm going to recommend my book!!! It's available for purchase on my Etsy storefront at www.Etsy.com/shop/CNAQuest.
Good Morning Ms. Julie! I tested on Saturday and I'm pretty sure I SMASHED my skills and written test, but I left the facility not knowing. How can I find out if I actually passed. I called Pearson Vue but they said keep checking my account. Thank you
Hi, Angela! It usually takes 24-72 hours before your name gets placed on the Nurse Aide Registry (NAR). CONGRATULATIONS!!! What state did you test in? I'm sure you #SMASHTHATCNAEXAM!
Hi, I’m testing out in a few days and as I’m looking through my Pearson vue handbook for this skill and it says “before turning lowers head of bed”? Can you explain exactly what that means?
Hi Ms. Julie, I had a quick question about this skill. when putting the pillow underneath the leg, would pull down the blanket when putting the pillow underneath the leg, or would you just keep the patient covered and slide the pillow underneath the leg. I wasn't sure if you would uncover the patient for the NAE to see but I feel like that would be overexposure. I have my exam tomorrow! thank you for all you do! I am praying for you and Gabby.
Hi, Maddy! It is okay for you to uncover the leg. Just make sure you recover the leg after placing the pillow. Also, do not pull the sheet downward. Because you're working with the legs only while placing this pillow, you will want to uncover the legs by either moving the top sheet to the side or pulling the sheet upward from the foot of the bed. Hope this helps! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do.
In the booklet it says place pillows under the arm first then back then legs. So for testing do we go in that order or how u just did it in the video? (how u did it makes more sense then what the book says)
Hi, Latasha! Because these steps are not order-dependent on each other, you may place the pillows in any order you desire. In my video, I place them in the most logical order!
Hi, Home2Home2! Sorry to hear about your test results. I'm not to familiar with Prometric testing. I will try to find time to do some research and network with Prometric Instructors and Evaluators. But, this will take some time.
Thank you so much, is hard to tell what is right, so I researched all over Enternet , also let me tell u more I paid for school, of course i don't know if I do it, it's going to give me some credibility, at the end is all in my hands,yeah, I'll be expecting those videos, so I could kick the exam b, and the Lord is our strength, be blessed, and thank you.
When you walked to the other side, I notice you didn't raise the rail, will we fail if we walk to the other side without raising the rail on the opposite? Would that be a safety issues as well?
Hey Nurse JAR. I wanted to kno if it matters if you perform the skill steps out of order ? I kno I can not omit the critical element steps in none of the skills that requires them.
Hello! First of all, thank you for all your videos! I have been so extremely nervous about my exam (which is tomorrow!) and your channel has helped me feel a bit more confident about all the skills! I was wondering if I should gather all my supplies at the beginning of my time or just grab everything as I go through every skill? Is gathering all your supplies at the beginning even an option? Or should I just get supplies individually as I go through each of the bedside skills?
Hi, Sam! Thank you! You have to collect your supplies for each skill as you perform them. You cannot collect all supplies for all skills at once. Even if this was an option, where would you put all the supplies!!! Good luck on your exam! Glad to hear my videos are helpful. Let me know how you do. SMASH IT!
If we forget to adjust the head pillow as our first pillow, but still adjust it before the skill is complete will that count? or does it have to be the first pillow adjusted?
Hi, Luis! I train my students to give the person the call light during opening procedures just in case they forget to do so before stating "skill complete ". During testing, you may be somewhat nervous and forget to do some things. This is something you do not want to forget to do!
Hi, Merry! You're letting your nerves get the best of you. Because you've taken the test before, you should be familiar with the process, which is a good thing. You probably have test anxiety. Talk your way through every step of every skill you are required to perform. Take deep breaths and focus only on what you are doing. You'll get it next go around.
I passed my skills miss Julie last july 24th thank u so much..i am director for activity right now!I pick more hour over the weekend too as Cna making very decent money!😍
Hi ma your videos are nice. But my only concern is you explain some parts an ask us not to do it the same way you did if not we will fail. Just pleading if you can show us exactly what we should do. Alot of us depend on this videos an what ever we see, we consider it to be correct. Thank you. Will be taking my text on the 4 of next month please wish me well🙏🙏🙏
Hi, Dorothy! Sorry for the confusion. You may perform this skill exactly as I have demonstrated. Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do. What state will you be testing in?
Great video. I know you verbalized washing your hands after the skill but shouldn't you have stated that before started the skill as well to identify that this is the proper way of completing the skill by washing hands before and after a skill. Maybe you can state that in the video in the beginning before starting next time so some won't get confused. Thank you for the visualization!
Hi, Queens! Thanks for your comment. My videos demonstrate "testable" skills, not how or what you need or should do in real life when you are performing nursing skills. Too many times, folks become confused when they integrate what is done in real life with what is required of the candidate to do during testing. If you review this skill in your NA Candidate Handbook, you will see that the only time the candidate is required to verbalize "washing hands" is at the end of the skill before stating "skill complete".
@@NURSEJAR Understood. I am a RN student and in the process of obtaining my Bachelor's degree and have seen many videos that explain along with reading according to nursing boards stating that is good to verbalize before and after just like it was the real thing but I understand that's how you train. I just like to practice thongs as they are real so when that time comes it an automatic thing for myself. Thank you and blessing on your future trainings.
@@NURSEJAR I have my test on June 3 i suppose to practice with my teacher but she keep giving me excuses saying that she cant do practice because something happen. And the only way for me is looking the videos
@@ariannarivera1437 Wow! So sorry to hear this. It's one thing to watch videos and another to actually get the hands-on practice, which is very important when it comes to practicing manual skills. Is there any way you can practice with another instructor at your training site?
Mrs Josephine is obviously the best,I studied her questions and answers just in 5 days i passed,the materials she provided was exactly the questions I saw on my test day
It not about watching videos here on RUclips and wasting time your time on materials and reviews that won't help, I was ignorant doing so till I got recommended to Mrs Josephine, Some how watching videos helped me too because without watching them I wouldn't have known about Mrs Josephine
Hi, Hijab! These are training videos for testing only. Steps demonstrated in this video and all of my training videos are in accordance with Pearson Vue's Nurse Aide Candidate handbook.
@@NURSEJAR but in your video where you used the gait belt to assist a patient, you pulled the curtains and then washed your hands before gathering the belt and touching the patient. That seemed more accurate and what I've been studying in my CNA practice exam book for all states.
@@tawakkul3 Hi! There isn't a practice exam book for all states, as all states do not fall under the same Authorized Administrator. My training videos are in accordance with Pearson Vue, and they have yet to fail any of my students and Subscribers.
@@NURSEJAR but you still haven't explained why you washed your hands in one video before your procedure and not in others ,when it involved you touching the patient or their patients things.
@@tawakkul3 Hi! In all my training videos, unless they are super clips, I perform "opening procedures" which include safety checks and providing privacy. In the videos you are referencing, "Positions on Side" and Assists With Ambulation Using Transfer Belt", I did just that...performed opening procedures. So, I'm not quite sure what you are looking at to say I did not provide privacy before performing this skill, Positions on Side. I've reviewed both videos, and my opening PROCEDURES are the same for both in regards to safety, privacy, and infection control.
Hi, Samson! Thank you for your comment. Please, keep in mind that these videos are solely for nurse aide candidate training. Candidates have to perform steps verbatim as listed in their candidate handbook. During testing, the only time the candidate has to wash their hands with running water and soap is during the skill "Hand Hygiene". Anytime after that, if the skill requires, the candidate needs only to verbalize "washing hands". As far as "identifying" the resident, again, for testing, this is not a required step. Candidates should not perform unneccessary steps, as this will add time into their skills exam. The candidate wants and needs to be able to shave time whenever possible.

Also, any advise you can give on how to get through the test while having such an anxiety issue (I'm worried about a panic attack and freezing up) would be great.
Hi, Orion! What city/state will you be testing in?
Grand Rapids, MI
@@Orion42Lynx Hi, Orion! If I am not mistaken, the Authorized Test Administrator for the state of Michigan is Prometric. Prometric has its own Skills List which is different from Pearson View. There may be some required skills that are similar, but may have different steps.
I strongly advise you to print and/or review the Nurse Aide Candidate Handbook or skills list review from Prometric if your instructor has not given you a copy.
As far as your anxiety, don't let it get the best of you! Talking through your steps while performing the skill will help ease your anxiety and nervousness. Plus, communication is one of the five indirect care skills.
I'm not quite sure of the time frame Prometric has set forth for the skills exam, but usually will be between 25 to 40 minutes depending on which skills you have on your skill card.
Hope this was helpful!
Should the privacy be maintained after the skill? In some of the skills, sometimes you maintain the privacy and sometimes not. When should I know when to open the curtain or maintain the privacy? Thank you for your videos
Hi, Vina! Unless the NAE instructs you otherwise, maintain privacy after each skill.
this was one of my skills
Also.... Where is the privacy blanket and the fanning the sheet down so that you don't have to unmake the bed? I know this is a teaching video, but to do all steps is very helpful for those going to take the test.
Hi, Hijab! Thank you for your questions and comments. For Parson Vue testing, all required steps were demonstrated in my video.
I take mine this coming Saturday and it’s been over a month since I’ve taken the class. I’m so nervous. I pray these videos will help
Wow me too I take mine Saturday I’ve been out of class since the beginning of December
Good luck!!
@@JosiahCalisMom aww. Best of luck to you boo. You’ve got this🙌🏾💪🏾
I take my test February 16th and I’ve been out the class since September. I’ve been going thru these video like crazy too, but GOOD LUCK to you Ms Lady....You got this
@@iyannamayo1665 thank you
I just wish I had the confidence and memorization down. I feel like I’m falling behind on my skills because it takes a while for me to get them checked off
Hi, Lisa! Sorry to hear this. Try practicing outside of your training environment. The more you practice, the more performing the skills will become second nature to you.
How will we be able to see if we have the pillow in the right position if we can’t uncover the persons legs while positioning the pillow??
Hi, Slaylike! You are allowed to uncover the person's legs while placing the pillow. Just remember to recover the person once you are done.
Would I be able to higher the bed while doing the skill so that I'm not having to bend down so much? Or does the bed have to stay low during the skill?
Hi, Lulu! You may raise the height of bed to a level that is comfortable for you to perform the skill (body mechanics). Just remember to lower it to a safe level before stating, "skill complete".
One question when finish position client on one side, do I put the bed rail down before ending the skill while client is facing on one side, or keep the rail up?
Hi, Noella! Goid question! The lowering of side rails is not scorable. Therefore, you may opt to keep it raised or you may opt to lower it.
For time management, I instruct my students not to lower it, as some side rails can be time consuming to lower.
Okay thanks
I thought you always wash hands before starting the skill.
Hi, Marton1300! During testing, you'll be required to wash your hands with actual water and soap only once during the skill "Hand Hygiene". Any time after that, you'll need only to verbalize "washing hands" whenever a skill requires you to do so.
@@NURSEJAR what about the side rail??? You don’t put it down????
Only after
You such a awesome teacher can u recommend any gd book for to pass rn exam plz reply to me mam. Thnx
Hi, Tomm and Jerry! Thank you! Of course I'm going to recommend my book!!! It's available for purchase on my Etsy storefront at www.Etsy.com/shop/CNAQuest.
Good Morning Ms. Julie! I tested on Saturday and I'm pretty sure I SMASHED my skills and written test, but I left the facility not knowing. How can I find out if I actually passed. I called Pearson Vue but they said keep checking my account. Thank you
Hi, Angela! It usually takes 24-72 hours before your name gets placed on the Nurse Aide Registry (NAR). CONGRATULATIONS!!! What state did you test in? I'm sure you #SMASHTHATCNAEXAM!
@3:36 Why would you not want to draw the sheet back? Would you just do if under the sheet?
Hi, Ashtyn! You may draw the sheets back to turn and position the person. Just remember to recover them.
Hi, I’m testing out in a few days and as I’m looking through my Pearson vue handbook for this skill and it says “before turning lowers head of bed”? Can you explain exactly what that means?
Hi, Sadee! Yes! If the HOB is elevated, you must lower it completely to position the person in supine position before turning them on his or her side.
Hi Ms. Julie, I had a quick question about this skill. when putting the pillow underneath the leg, would pull down the blanket when putting the pillow underneath the leg, or would you just keep the patient covered and slide the pillow underneath the leg. I wasn't sure if you would uncover the patient for the NAE to see but I feel like that would be overexposure. I have my exam tomorrow! thank you for all you do! I am praying for you and Gabby.
Hi, Maddy! It is okay for you to uncover the leg. Just make sure you recover the leg after placing the pillow.
Also, do not pull the sheet downward. Because you're working with the legs only while placing this pillow, you will want to uncover the legs by either moving the top sheet to the side or pulling the sheet upward from the foot of the bed.
Hope this helps! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do.
@@NURSEJAR I passed my exam!! Thank you Ms. Julie! Just got my results. Took my exam 1pm this afternoon ❤️❤️❤️😊 in NC.
Hi, Maddy! Awesome!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
Nurse Jar, I forgot to check the temperature of the water while forming catheter care! Will that automatically fail me?
Hi, Shantay! No, it should not. But, you will get a flag for safety. If you had no other issues with safety during your exam, you should be okay.
In the booklet it says place pillows under the arm first then back then legs. So for testing do we go in that order or how u just did it in the video? (how u did it makes more sense then what the book says)
Hi, Latasha! Because these steps are not order-dependent on each other, you may place the pillows in any order you desire.
In my video, I place them in the most logical order!
@@NURSEJAR Thank you ! And YES your way is logical the book made no sense to start with the arm first 😂
I’m hoping I pass
I fail the test, in Florida, the last set, so, I need you to do for me, if you can do videos metric in Florida.
Hi, Home2Home2! Sorry to hear about your test results. I'm not to familiar with Prometric testing. I will try to find time to do some research and network with Prometric Instructors and Evaluators. But, this will take some time.
Thank you so much, is hard to tell what is right, so I researched all over Enternet , also let me tell u more I paid for school, of course i don't know if I do it, it's going to give me some credibility, at the end is all in my hands,yeah, I'll be expecting those videos, so I could kick the exam b, and the Lord is our strength, be blessed, and thank you.
How do i make a payment to you
When you walked to the other side, I notice you didn't raise the rail, will we fail if we walk to the other side without raising the rail on the opposite? Would that be a safety issues as well?
Hi, New! No!
@@NURSEJAR Ok, thanks, becuz I'm in California
Hey Nurse JAR. I wanted to kno if it matters if you perform the skill steps out of order ? I kno I can not omit the critical element steps in none of the skills that requires them.
Hi, TynaCraig! It all depends! There are some steps that are order-dependent.
@@NURSEJAR okay thnk u
Hello! First of all, thank you for all your videos! I have been so extremely nervous about my exam (which is tomorrow!) and your channel has helped me feel a bit more confident about all the skills! I was wondering if I should gather all my supplies at the beginning of my time or just grab everything as I go through every skill? Is gathering all your supplies at the beginning even an option? Or should I just get supplies individually as I go through each of the bedside skills?
Hi, Sam! Thank you! You have to collect your supplies for each skill as you perform them. You cannot collect all supplies for all skills at once. Even if this was an option, where would you put all the supplies!!!
Good luck on your exam! Glad to hear my videos are helpful. Let me know how you do. SMASH IT!
JULIE REYNOLDS that’s what I figured! But I had to ask just to be 100% sure! I will let you know how it goes! Enjoy your vacation! Thank you!!!
@@Szepedaxo Thank you! SMASH that CNA exam!!!
JULIE REYNOLDS I PASSED MY WRITTEN AND SKILLS EXAM!!! I’m so happy!!
@@Szepedaxo Hi! CONGRATULATIONS! You SMASHED that CNA exam!
I have my exam next Thursday I’m so nervous ☹️! Pray for me 🤞🏼
Hi, Johana! I will definitely Pray you do well. Let me know how you do. What state will you be testing in?
JULIE REYNOLDS thank you so much ! I’m testing in California
If we forget to adjust the head pillow as our first pillow, but still adjust it before the skill is complete will that count? or does it have to be the first pillow adjusted?
Hi, Hailey! It will still count.
Do u hv to used a blanket
ms julie why giving the call light when you are there with them
Hi, Luis! I train my students to give the person the call light during opening procedures just in case they forget to do so before stating "skill complete ".
During testing, you may be somewhat nervous and forget to do some things. This is something you do not want to forget to do!
Do you suppose to wear a gloves doing this?
Hi Ms Julie, does this procedure and your other cna skills videos apply to Hawaii too?
Hi, Melissa! If Hawaii tests under Pearson Vue, yes.
Thank you Ms Julie. But how do I know if Hawaii is under pearson vue?
@@melissacallo8578 You can Google it or go to PearsonVue.com to find out if Hawaii falls under Pearson Vue.
Thank you so much Ms Julie 😊
@Melissa I have no idea how many places in the state use Pearson Vue but my NA training program (in Kalihi) uses only Prometric.
I failed my skills test 2nd time im very nervous i keep forgetting everything too many butterflies in my tummy very stressful for me😥
Hi, Merry! You're letting your nerves get the best of you. Because you've taken the test before, you should be familiar with the process, which is a good thing.
You probably have test anxiety. Talk your way through every step of every skill you are required to perform. Take deep breaths and focus only on what you are doing. You'll get it next go around.
@@NURSEJAR thanks miss Julie i been watching your vedeo the 2019
I passed my skills miss Julie last july 24th thank u so much..i am director for activity right now!I pick more hour over the weekend too as Cna making very decent money!😍
@@merryclark2274 Hi! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You #SMASHTHATCNAEXAM!!! What state did you test in?
@@NURSEJAR Seattle Washington ms.julie
Hi ma your videos are nice. But my only concern is you explain some parts an ask us not to do it the same way you did if not we will fail. Just pleading if you can show us exactly what we should do. Alot of us depend on this videos an what ever we see, we consider it to be correct. Thank you. Will be taking my text on the 4 of next month please wish me well🙏🙏🙏
Hi, Dorothy! Sorry for the confusion. You may perform this skill exactly as I have demonstrated.
Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do. What state will you be testing in?
So you don’t want to over expose them so you will pull the shit from the bottle to the knee correct ?
Great video. I know you verbalized washing your hands after the skill but shouldn't you have stated that before started the skill as well to identify that this is the proper way of completing the skill by washing hands before and after a skill. Maybe you can state that in the video in the beginning before starting next time so some won't get confused. Thank you for the visualization!
Hi, Queens! Thanks for your comment. My videos demonstrate "testable" skills, not how or what you need or should do in real life when you are performing nursing skills.
Too many times, folks become confused when they integrate what is done in real life with what is required of the candidate to do during testing.
If you review this skill in your NA Candidate Handbook, you will see that the only time the candidate is required to verbalize "washing hands" is at the end of the skill before stating "skill complete".
@@NURSEJAR Understood. I am a RN student and in the process of obtaining my Bachelor's degree and have seen many videos that explain along with reading according to nursing boards stating that is good to verbalize before and after just like it was the real thing but I understand that's how you train. I just like to practice thongs as they are real so when that time comes it an automatic thing for myself. Thank you and blessing on your future trainings.
I don’t pass my CNA I didn’t adjust the pillow 😢😢
Hi. I need help. I want to know if that skill you do apply for the state of Florida
Hi, Arianna! Yes, Positioning the Person on Their Side" is one of the 22 testable skills for states testing under Prometric.
@@NURSEJAR
I have my test on June 3 i suppose to practice with my teacher but she keep giving me excuses saying that she cant do practice because something happen. And the only way for me is looking the videos
@@ariannarivera1437 Wow! So sorry to hear this. It's one thing to watch videos and another to actually get the hands-on practice, which is very important when it comes to practicing manual skills.
Is there any way you can practice with another instructor at your training site?
@@NURSEJAR No. She is the only instructor that is on the facility.
@@ariannarivera1437 Are you able to access the facility? Maybe you can get with classmate to help you practice.
The nclex test is really frustrating,I can't believe i failed again after studying so much 🙃 😪 😭😭😭
Well I've taken the exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed,I wonder how those who succeeded did it
You will pass everyone has their own season,just keep praying and believe you will receive
Mrs Josephine is obviously the best,I studied her questions and answers just in 5 days i passed,the materials she provided was exactly the questions I saw on my test day
Hi, Victoria! Hopefully, you mean "Ms. Julie"!!! If so, I'm happy to hear that my videos were helpful! Congrats 👏👏👏!!!
It not about watching videos here on RUclips and wasting time your time on materials and reviews that won't help, I was ignorant doing so till I got recommended to Mrs Josephine, Some how watching videos helped me too because without watching them I wouldn't have known about Mrs Josephine
Aren't you supposed to pull the curtains and then wash your hands before touching the patient and the bed?
Hi, Hijab! These are training videos for testing only. Steps demonstrated in this video and all of my training videos are in accordance with Pearson Vue's Nurse Aide Candidate handbook.
@@NURSEJAR but in your video where you used the gait belt to assist a patient, you pulled the curtains and then washed your hands before gathering the belt and touching the patient. That seemed more accurate and what I've been studying in my CNA practice exam book for all states.
@@tawakkul3 Hi! There isn't a practice exam book for all states, as all states do not fall under the same Authorized Administrator. My training videos are in accordance with Pearson Vue, and they have yet to fail any of my students and Subscribers.
@@NURSEJAR but you still haven't explained why you washed your hands in one video before your procedure and not in others ,when it involved you touching the patient or their patients things.
@@tawakkul3 Hi! In all my training videos, unless they are super clips, I perform "opening procedures" which include safety checks and providing privacy.
In the videos you are referencing, "Positions on Side" and Assists With Ambulation Using Transfer Belt", I did just that...performed opening procedures.
So, I'm not quite sure what you are looking at to say I did not provide privacy before performing this skill, Positions on Side.
I've reviewed both videos, and my opening PROCEDURES are the same for both in regards to safety, privacy, and infection control.
Transferul pacientului cu macaraua
Hi, Gina! Sorry, but I do not understand your comment.
30 minutes enough for the skills
She didn’t wash her hands
Sorry u started without identifying your patients and not washing you hands.
Hi, Samson! Thank you for your comment. Please, keep in mind that these videos are solely for nurse aide candidate training.
Candidates have to perform steps verbatim as listed in their candidate handbook. During testing, the only time the candidate has to wash their hands with running water and soap is during the skill "Hand Hygiene". Anytime after that, if the skill requires, the candidate needs only to verbalize "washing hands".
As far as "identifying" the resident, again, for testing, this is not a required step.
Candidates should not perform unneccessary steps, as this will add time into their skills exam. The candidate wants and needs to be able to shave time whenever possible.
Thanks Julie 4 ur explanation,going to do my exam soon.
Otherwise thank u once more.
