This video right here really saved my bacon. Just passed the test today and the world has one more male CNA.
so proud!!
@Jarligator ❤️❤️❤️❤️ your comment made me smile.
Nice bro
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations hope I pass it to going to be my 3er time😮
Today is October 21, 2021. I have been a CNA for 15 years. It was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. It is truly an honor to take care of people who aren’t able to do for themselves. I had two of the best teachers. They pushed us hard and I’m grateful to them for doing it. Congratulations to all who have taken their state boards and passed. Good luck to anyone who is waiting to take their state boards. God bless all CNA’s♥️
thank you for the hard work you do
THANKS 🙏
I'm going to make my examen this coming Tuesday hope I can write good news...Congratulations on yuors 💖
@@mariajimenez1955How's the exam?
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m studying right now to be a CNA after years of work as a medical assistant. Already, it’s waaaaaay more rewarding ❤️
I’m sitting in the lobby, waiting to begin my test in 10 min and I’m terrified! But if you’re looking for a good way to study, what I did was a.) watch these videos for review and then b.) I typed all 22 skills into a generator online. I would hit generate and it would give me a skill. I opened Google docs and typed exactly what I would do and say during this skill, trying to see as much as I could remember from memory. Hopefully this is a useful study technique for others!
That's a good idea. I'm going to try that. Thank You Hannah!
Great info or idea thank you
Wow
wow i wished i seen this sooner i take my exam tomorrow i watched the videos and practiced each one that i can on a family member.
Literally me right now 😂 recap while waiting for my skills test

Woud we fail if we did it this way if the way they trained us was just a bit different (for instance, our class says to use a towel for the table, one washcloth instead of two) I know this way is correct, just want to make sure since these videos are helping me A LOT

Hi, I'm not sure if you'll see this but my professor, a former nurse, wrote out this procedure. What do we do about the cuticles?
I am watching it the hole time at this night good night.
Just passed ! Love these videos .
I took my exam today. I am just curious is it an automatic fail if you don't check for jagged edges?
Question: is it ok to don’t give the call light to patient hand and just leave it on bed? Shall not we put the basin in dirty designated area?
I test tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

@@4yourcna I passed
Hi, thanks for a great video. Just wondering if the basin should be sprayed with disinfectant spray as you did in your previous videos, and in your student instruction book. Was that step dropped?
Disinfecting the basin is not required for the exam any longer(which is why the new videos and new skills book does not indicate this step any longer). In a clinical setting, if disinfection is required (i.e., disinfecting spray), it would be done after rinsing but before drying. And you would not want to be touching it with dirty gloves while spraying it, so setting it down in the sink is when you would disinfect. Then pick it up with a paper towel to prevent cross-contamination with your dirty gloves. For the exam, once you rinse, your gloves are wet, so using a paper towel between wet gloves while drying basin helps speed up the process. Never put anything back wet, as this provides an area for bacterial growth. The bottom of the basin is not used for direct patient care, so having the bottom of the basin touch the sink is fine. It is the inside of the basin that we are concerned with. Hope this helps!
Do I have to give a call light before gathering my supplies?
in the test do we only do one hand?
and for the foot care we only do one foot?
Thank you but I have question we say gloves not necessary if patient have skin disease what happen to you
Is this training skills same in Nevada?
I see it's very helpful but I'm not sure if this training skills same in Nevada.
if i pass im coming back and thanking you
this is amazing
Join us on Thursdays at 3pm eastern for our Weekly livestream Q&A session and mini-lessons with Miss Patti!
Please explain what Charting: means in the right bottom corner, when supplies shown. I'm not sure what personal skin means either, thank you in advance
Thank U
I take my test tomorrow! Feeling confident with these videos to review me! 😩
We wish you luck as you test! :-)
Do u soak the hands before washing or just wash?
Maybe Cause your only washing one hand but I was taught after you applied soap to the hand not to place it back in the water because it will make the rest of the water soapy when you need clean water to rinse off but besides that your videos seems really good I’m using them to study for my exam lol
Basins are "No Soap Zones", meaning that you cannot apply soap to the water. You can, however, use that water for rinsing. You can use two basins if you want, but in most cases there will only be one basin in the testing facility. This is because patients are only issued one basin when they are admitted and getting another one will cost the patient money (they are charged for all supplies). Since you can easily do this with one basin by not putting soap in the water, this saves money, resources and time. This is reflected in Prometric's checklist, under checkpoint 5: "...rinse or remove soap using a clean, soap-free, wet washcloth or using basin water if not soapy". Hope this helps! Best of luck!
Hello, thank you very much for these videos. When you say, 'Gloves are not required for the exam because there is no exposure to personal skin' what exactly do you mean? The CNA is touching the hand of the patient! So is that not considered 'personal skin'? Many thanks.
Personal skin is any skin normally covered by a bathing suit (breast area and genitals). Hands are not personal skin. As long as the patient does not have any skin openings (wounds, sores, rash, incision, etc.) there is no danger to the healthcare worker who washes her hands before beginning the skill and after ending the skill. Touching skin is not dangerous. Touching body fluids and skin openings (which allow body fluids out) could potentially be dangerous, therefore gloves would be required. Hope this helps!
@ 4yourCNA .... Can i apply lotion after hand care instead of after nail care? It seems like the best thing to do.
Actually, this is a graded checkpoint. On Prometric Clinical skills checklist, item #10 states, "Apply lotion to cleaned hand after nail care finished" so you must finish nail care before applying lotion. Hope this helps! Join us for our Live Q&A session here on our RUclips channel Thursdays (today!) at 3pm Eastern. Hope to see you there!
Did you throw away the emery board and orange wood stick after use ?
I like this video
Do you need to sanitized the basin after you rinse it out as in previous videos?
No (but great catch!), the test does not require you to disinfect anything anymore. So, simply rinse, dry and store all patient use items as in the newest videos! Great job!
I take my exam October 9th 2018 in this skill and foot care are we required to let the foot and hand soak for 2-3 minutes ?
You don't have to soak for any specific period of time for the exam. The goal is to soften any debris and make cleaning easier. This, plus much more is covered in our FREE online CNA test prep program on courses.4YourCNA.com. We hope you were successful in your state exam and wish you luck in your new career!
Hello, after washing our hands, are we allowed to open the drawer without any gloves or without using any paper towels? Thank you.
Yes. Remember that everything you touch with gloves on will contaminate the gloves...please see our video on Glove Rules ruclips.net/video/AQa9RYK1BI4/видео.html. But a general principle is that you NEVER touch the drawer with soiled gloves or hands....this keeps the drawer clean for others to access. This is why we use paper towels between our soiled hands/gloves to open the drawer at the end of the skill. You can always use a paper towel as a barrier to gather your supplies, too, if unsure (but it's not required) If you found this presentation helpful, please don't forget to like and subscribe!
im planning to enroll cna nextyr
Best of luck!
After the hand washing skill,do you have to do the same style of hand washing or do you verbalized the hand washing part?
Nicole McDaniel Lawrence verbalize after first full skill
You will continue to physically wash your hands until told to simulate from the evaluators. In most cases, this will be immediately before beginning the second skill. But wash your hands until you are TOLD to simulate - very important! Best of luck!
4yourCNA
Thank you so much
I was taught to check Id and take away their call light is that not okay?
Do I have to use a barrier to open the drawer to return supplies at the end of skill?
Since you have not washed your hands, they are not considered clean. You don't want to touch the outside of the drawer with a dirty hand (or, in this case, glove) because that drawer will be touched by clean hands later for other skills. The drawer front should never be touched with dirty hands/gloves - this is an infection control principle. It helps keep the patient's environment clean! Hope this helps!
i take my skills test soon and for this skill i was wondering do we use gloves for this one ?
This just a question. Aren’t you introducing soap back into the basin when you are rinsing the hand? Prometric states that you should rinse or remove soap with a clean, soap-free wet washcloth. Shouldn’t you rinse the hand over an empty space on the chux with a wet washcloth?
Putting the hand back in the basin during rinsing is acceptable. The rest of that checkpoint reads, "or using basin water if not soapy." You did not put soap into the water, so it may be used for rinsing. You will not be using the water after rinsing, so any soap that transfers to the water is not an issue. Hope this helps!
4yourCNA Thank you!
So. question, when you turned the faucet on, you didn't grab a paper towel, is this unnecessary due to the fact that you did not have to wear gloves, or was it just for video purposes and i should still use a paper towel when touching the faucet?
The faucet is always considered contaminated, you touch it with dirty hands all the time (after using the bathroom, after performing care, with soiled gloves). Since the faucet is always considered dirty, it is okay to touch it with dirty hands and gloves. But you can NEVER touch the faucet with clean hands. You would have to use a paper towel if your hands are clean (such as getting the water which is demonstrated in this video) but you don't have to use a paper towel at the end of the skill when cleaning your basin (as demonstrated in the video). Our website has more information on glove use 4YourCNA.com. Thank you!
Nice 🎉
Hello, my state requires me to "Gently push cuticle back with a towel or washcloth." I can't find any examples of what that looks like, can anyone help?
While soaking the patient's hand in the basin shouldn't you use a separate basin for rinsing and washing of the hand for infection control
In a clinical setting, patients must pay for every single supply, either personally or through insurance copays. Even basins cost money! So, using 2 basins can be expensive and is not necessary as long as you don't put soap in the basin. Think about your own bathing habits...if you take a bath, you probably don't use 2 bathtubs, one to wash and one to rinse. As long as you did not add anything to the water (bubble bath, soap, bath salts, etc), that water can be used for rinsing. It's the same thing here. Soap is not added to the water in the basin, but put on the washcloth instead so that the water remains clean for rinsing. Now, if the water is obviously dirty or soiled, you should empty the basin and get new water. If the patient is on contact precautions or has an infectious disease, the care plan may be adjusted to accommodate that particular patient's needs. But this is not the case during the test and you will only have one basin to work with, so you can soak and rinse in one basin. Thank you!
@@4yourcna you explained that perfectly I'm shocked
I have my cna prometrics test on Thursday, can anyone offer me words of encouragement or words of advice...please and thank you!
I will take sonn i want to know during the skill need to do one hand or both plz ?
Read and follow the care plan! ruclips.net/video/PJdcnotw8wU/видео.html This video will tell you more about how the exam works and the importance of the care plan during the exam. If the care plan tells you to wash one hand, then wash one hand. If the care plan says to wash both, then wash both. Follow the care plan! :-) Best of luck!
anyone from NY??

Where do you dispose of orange stick? Trash or sharps?
Since the orange stick did not penetrate INTO a patient, it does not belong in the sharps disposal. It will be disposed of in the trash. You may find our FREE online CNA Test Prep course helpful. It is located at courses.4YourCNA.com and it's free! :-)

Hello! I am a challenger. I have been working in the medical field (hospital setting) for over 15 years. I am getting certified due to me moving to another state that requires a CNA to work in their hospital setting. I have been watching your videos and studying your material and I want to say they have helped me ALOT. I am not the best test taker when all eyes are on me. Do you have any advice for me as far as the skills part goes? I did the written practice exam on the Prometric's webpage and passed the 100 questions with flying colors. I am nervous about the practical part of the exam. What if on one of the skills I miss one of the supplies and do it the way I've learned in the past? What are they mainly looking at other than hand hygiene, privacy of the patient, rights during their care ect?
Thank you so much for all you do!
Our best advice is to follow your care plan. If you need to make a correction be sure to verbalize it. We have a fantastic eBook! Get it for free at 4yourcna.com/ebook!

Is it required to do both hands or just pretend I do the second hand?
For California at least, it says to just verbalize that you would do the same thing to the other hand.
Does anybody know what type of questions they are going to ask for written test ?

PLEASE CAN YOU GET BACK TO ME MY TEST TOMORROW ON THE URINARY DRAINAGE DO I HAVE TO PUT MILITARY TIME WHEN I DOCUMENT MY SKILL?
No, military time is not required for the state exam - but if you use regular time, you MUST remember to put a.m. or p.m. next to the time. Good luck on the test!
Thank u
on the state test do we have to use a bag to put the towels in ?
For the exam, you will use whatever receptacle the evaluator shows you to use for dirty linens. It may be a laundry basket, hamper, can or bag. Each facility will be set up in a similar fashion, but may have slightly different equipment. The evaluator will give you a little orientation before you begin the exam and point out where all the supplies are located and where to put soiled linens. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
4yourCNA thanks for the videos I have pass my cna skills
Congratulations and best of luck in your new career!
+Taranicka Cummings Congratulations! We are very proud of you and wish you great success in your career!
I test July 1st 🤞🏽🤞🏽
How did it go? I am getting ready to test. I just finished my class today and got my fingerprints done last Monday. I just found this site, and I am so happy...
Barrett Tribe oh okay cool It didn’t go so well I passed my written & failed my clinicals 😔but I take my clinicals over August the 2nd
How long do you soak each hand ?
For the exam, there is no specific required time. It should be long enough to soften the debris under the nails, if any exists. Usually 2-4 minutes is sufficient in a clinical setting. For the exam, since time is limited, you (and the evaluators) do not want to just stand around watching a hand soak. So, simply submerging the hand in water is sufficient for the exam. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
I have exam tomorrow. Wish me luck
I passed both tests thank you Miss Patty for your lessons!

Are you supposed to put gloves on while providing hand and nail care, especially when using the orange stick because of infection control?
Gloves are optional for this skill. As long as the patient (and you) don't have any skin openings, gloves aren't required. You can wear them if you wish, but they are not required. Thank you!
4yourCNA I wish you guys would tell that to my RNs :) lol!!! :) I watched your video (love it) before getting checked off on nail care and my nurses counted me off for choosing not to wear gloves. (There was nothing in patient's care plan that suggested I needed gloves) But the nurses wanted to see gloves no matter what :(
Sorry to hear that! Not all nurse evaluators follow the rules of testing...so sorry!
