Hey there!!!! I started watching your videos Friday and my test was scheduled for the following Saturday. I PASSED on the first try thanks to your videos. Omg you are helping so many ppl keep doing that 💕💕💕💕💕
JULIE REYNOLDS TEXAS! I literally finished my training 8/6 and I didn’t look at the material again until the night before and I so happen to find your videos and I know for a FACT it helped me pass because I did everything you did and the evaluator was like impressive
@@anikarashae6535 Hi! WOW! That is truly impressive! As always, I am left speechless! So elated that my videos are helping so many. Again, CONGRATULATIONS on your milestone!
@@anikarashae6535 that’s currently me, haven’t looked at the material since training since I’ve been so busy with school, started preparing all day yesterday on Friday and now I’m currently waiting to take my test in 30 minutes. Praying 🙏🏻💗 I don’t feel 100% ready but I know I tried my best.
Thank you so much for another SUPERB video! I really liked how you placed the shirt on the bed on the client's right arm in an effort to prevent forgetting which arm to dress first. I also liked how the client held the sheet with her chin & the reminder to place the signaling device in the left hand. My knowledge base is growing and my confidence is building. All thanks to you. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Hi Julie this is Grace thankyou for your videos they have help me alots i just took my exams today in Texas both written and skills and i have passed thankyou so much keep safe God bless you
I took the exam back in October of last year. I passed the written exam and failed the skills test smh it's crazy because I'm in GA....I missed one step of this particular skills and have to retake the entire skills exam. But I'm going to watch your vids to help me out.
If my next skill is something where they have to be wearing a gown, at what point do you take off this shirt and put on a gown for the next skill? Same with positioning a patient on their side, once you say your skill is complete do you take the pillows out before starting the next skill? Ty so much
Hi julie! How r ya ?... I passed my skills ( 2nd time ) and I passed my written (1st time ). Followed all ur study tips and all ur produres... Watched ur videos every day! Thank u soo much💖💖🙂
Hi,I started to watch your video since I studying care giver course in hongkong and tight up American caregiver association,I hope I can apply in your country....thanks your video 👍👍👍
Hi, Maila! Wow! All the way from Hongkong! Thank you for your support to my channel. I hope my videos will be helpful to you. Remember to SUBSCRIBE to my channel, if you haven't done so already. Good luck with your studies!
Hi, Horn Man! Not exactly. Having the client to position themselves in the two manners you describe would actually increase the candidates risk of overexposing the client. Furthermore, raising the HOB is wasting the candidates allotted time. However, you may perform this step in any manner you feel comfortable. This is how I train my students to perform this skill. It it has not failed them, to date!!!
Hi,miss Julie for the Prometric test am I only dressing the client top or am I dressing both the top and bottom because I’ve seen people on RUclips dressing both the clients top and bottom
Just took my skills test woo! I think I smashed it (knock on wood lol)!! Got to wait 24 hours for my results now 😀. I tested in California thank u nurse Jar for your amazing videos please keep making more they are the best study tool!!
@@NURSEJAR I will let you know!! Your videos were my major studying tool and your teaching was so amazing. I loved how you broke down everything cohesively as well as adding those extra tips for us doing the Pearson vue test.
@@NURSEJAR thank you!! I tested in California! Your videos were perfect they were EXACTLY what the tests required/ how they felt. I watched your mock skills exam and it was exactly like the test! Again thank you!!
Hi, Jazmin! Body mechanics is not scored during testing. If you raise the height of the bed, you must remember to lower it to a safe position before you walk away from it. I strongly recommend not doing so, as you will be nervous during testing and might forget to lower the bed. This could cause you to fail due to safety.
Hi, Samii! You may either dress the person while the person is lying in the bed or sitting in the bed. Although I train my students to perform this skill both ways, I encourage my students to perform this skill while the person is lying in the bed. Performing the skill this way will lower your risk for overexposing the client while undressing and dressing.
Hi, Maranata! Yes, all testing sites have IC protocols in place, such as the weating of face masks and gloves throughout your skills exam. Also, some test sites are having candidates perform certain "live person" skills on the mannequin instead of performing the skill on the live person.
NURSE JAR I took mine a couple days ago in Georgia and they did everything like the usual, with a human partner and yes we had to wear our masks and gloves to touch the mannequins even if the skill didn’t require gloves. And I just want to say thank you sooo much you really helped me out in passing the exam. God bless you!
Hi, Kemi! Are you referring to the HOB or the height of the bed? If you are referring to the height of the bed, ensure you lower it before leaving the bedside. Also, remember you are being timed. Unless required to do so, I always encourage folks not to, as this will waste your time. But, if you feel you need to, although it is not required, you may.Yes, you may.
@@angel892091 If you test with Pearson Vue, you will be tested on 5 skills. Hand Hygiene will always be your first skill. Your second skill will be a measurement skill, with the exception of Urinary Output, which usually comes towards the end of your skills set. The remaining three skills will be random bedside skills.
Hi, Scent! Of course! You may raise the height of the bed for any skill that you need to do so. Just remember to lower the bed to a low, safe position before verbalizing, "skill complete".
@@Nikaplustwo the state of Ohio's testing falls under Headmaster. You will have approximately 79 questions on the written test and will be given 90 minutes to complete. The manual skills portion is scenario-based with 5 skills. You will be given 45 minutes to complete all 5 tasks within the scenario. Each scenario is read to you by the NAE before each task.
Yes, Mam. The test center you go to will already have the two shirts available for testing. With the 2018 updates, you no longer have to button 3 consecutive buttons. Just make sure the shirt is closed as much as possible covering the chest and stomach areas.
I just wanted to drop you a note I passed the Georgia state CNA exams written and skills because of your video's and practicing at home with my home made mannequin I made a couple RUclips videos of me practicing look at them under my name you will see

Should privacy be maintained or removed after the skill is done?
Thank you for the helpful video. ☺️
Hi, Liz King! Thank you 😊!
Do you need nonskid footwear for this skill?
Nurse Jar is out here doing the Lord's work!
Hi thank you for your helpful video, do we need to wear gloves in this skill? I believe we do but not sure if we just need to verbalize it
no gloves for this skill
Before the client get up for you to untie the gown would it be easier to tell them to rest of there elbows or raise the head of bed?
Hi, Horn Man! Not exactly. Having the client to position themselves in the two manners you describe would actually increase the candidates risk of overexposing the client.

If you completed a skill but ran out of time for clean up can you fail
@nurse jar i had this skill & failed 5&7 i guess I got confused I thought the weak arm was on the opposite side
Hi,miss Julie for the Prometric test am I only dressing the client top or am I dressing both the top and bottom because I’ve seen people on RUclips dressing both the clients top and bottom

Thankyou mrs. Julie will they still pass you as long as the mistakes you make are not critical.
Each skill is weighted differently. That's why it is crucial if you make a mistake to let the NAE know that you need to make a self-correction.
Is this applicable in New Mexico?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Is it ok to put the clients bed up a little when changing out of gown?
Hi, Mariposa! Yes.
After removing the dirty gown , do we wash hands ? Then apply new gown ?
It is not required to verbalize "washing hands" after removing and disposing of the souled gown.
so this is performed on a live person?
Are all the skill you are performing for the state of North Carolina ?
Hi, Abby! Yes, NC testable skills are exact to the skills I demonstrate in my videos.
New York plz
Is it okay to put on gloves when taking off the gown?
Yes, but nor necessary.
@@NURSEJAR ok.thank you
Hi Nurse Jar! My test is in 4 days. Does Credentia/Pearson still accept not buttoning the shirt up?
Hi, Randispencer! Pearson Vue and Credentia require the testing candidates to button at least 3 buttons, starting with the second button from the top.
Goodnight miss Julie you have been so good to me
Do you have to raise the bed up in the beginning in a high working position so you won’t hurt your back ?
Hi, Jazmin! Body mechanics is not scored during testing. If you raise the height of the bed, you must remember to lower it to a safe position before you walk away from it.
I strongly recommend not doing so, as you will be nervous during testing and might forget to lower the bed. This could cause you to fail due to safety.
@@NURSEJAR Any other tips ?
@@NURSEJAR I TAKE MY TEST THIS MONDAY COMING UP DO YOU STILL NOT GET TESTED ON BODY MECHANICS
@user-hu1de9ox7b Body mechanics is not emphasized, nor scored, if you are testing under Pearson Vue or Credentia.
@@NURSEJARI am so thank you
I have a question. Am I allowed to raise up the bed to a working height if the bed is too low for me to help them?
Hi, Pauline! Yes, of course! It's just not emphasized or scored if you test under Pearson Vue or Credentia.
@@NURSEJAR Thank you!
This is great, but why have the bed low, and you’re hunched over? The shirt touched the ground..
Left off, Right on. Remember that
Hi Julie, my instructor would have us sit up the client and dress them, does it matter if I have them lying down or sitting in the state test?
Hi, Samii! You may either dress the person while the person is lying in the bed or sitting in the bed. Although I train my students to perform this skill both ways, I encourage my students to perform this skill while the person is lying in the bed. Performing the skill this way will lower your risk for overexposing the client while undressing and dressing.

Can I elevate the bed , then. Put it back to low ? Since I will be dressing the patient?

Also, remember you are being timed. Unless required to do so, I always encourage folks not to, as this will waste your time. But, if you feel you need to, although it is not required, you may.Yes, you may.

Also will they give you a dummy if you have a skill that pertains to catheter care or perineal care .
Yes. There are only 3 skills that you will perform on the mannequin: peri-care, catheter care, and stocking.
So we don’t need to know all 26 skills . For the test . I thought it was going to be 5 random skills out of the 20-26 skills .
