Taking CNA License/Certification Exam: Be Prepared, Not Scared!

The anticipation about what your CNA certification exam would be like and what possible questions/difficulties you would need to fare with are a few of the common fear-igniting problems that are mentally killing the CNA aspirants, who're nearing the finish of their nursing assistant training program.

If only those newcomers had known that this seemingly horrible CNA test isn't what the rumor has turn it into, then the pass percentage of the CNA certification examinees might get improved, because it is fear and fear only (although incorrect CNA education and lack of exam preparation may also be responsible factors) that has resulted in students failing at their 1st attempt in CNA state certification/licensing exam.

Discover The Secret Behind the State CNA Test:-Why Could it be There?
Right after the completion of their CNA nursing training program, all future CNAs are then expected to undertake the state certification exam, which, in the healthcare world, is hailed as the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) or more commonly the "nurse aide competency evaluation exam".

Now that you're enlightened about its true name, let us introduce you to its aim- the nurse aide competency exam is made to determine that the applicants graduated from "state accredited CNA schools" are skilled enough to uphold the job duties of the CNA and that they'd not graduated with unfair means.

Short Introduction To the 2 Different Parts of The CNA Licensing Exam:-

1. Written Test:-Time Limit, Question Format, Equipments To Take In Exam Hall!
Provided that your CNA program has educated you completely at every aspect of what becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant requires and that you yourself have also exerted individual work in devouring the course books and the didactic lecture classes, then this written part of the CNA check would seem just like a piece of cake.

Speaking of the CNA written test, allow me to inform you that it comprises of 100 questions pertaining to subjects like basic nursing abilities, affected person care, hygiene, psychosocial care and CNA's role.

And, of course, each question will come with multiple-answer choices. All you have to do is tick the right one with care but don't dwell too long in guessing works for your time limit is just 2 hours.

Note:-Before rushing to the exam hall, you'll need to be armed with a couple of pencils, a rubber, an analog watch having a second hand and, most importantly, your ID.

2. Clinical Skill Check:-What Does It Comprise Of?

After the bell marking the end of the CNA written check rings, the examinees would then be subjected one by one to the clinical-skill check, during which the invigilators would ask you to display your hands-on nursing abilities at particular CNA responsibilities like bed making, checking blood pressure (or any other vital stats), wound dressing and so on. By the way, before you begin the procedure, it's expected of you to wash both hands clean and introduce yourself to the person-acting-as-a-patient!
