The anticipation about what your CNA certification exam could be like and what possible questions/difficulties you would have to fare with are some of the common fear-igniting issues which are mentally killing the CNA aspirants, who're nearing the finish of their nursing assistant training program.
If only those newbies had known this seemingly terrible CNA test isn't exactly what the rumor has turn it into, then the pass percentage of the CNA certification examinees might get improved, since it is fear and fear only (even though improper CNA education and lack of exam preparation are also responsible factors) which has resulted in students failing at their first attempt in CNA state certification/licensing exam.
Discover The Secret Behind the State CNA Test:-Why Is it There?
Soon after the completion of their CNA nursing training program, all future CNAs are then anticipated to undertake the state certification exam, which, in the medical world, is hailed as the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) or even more generally the "nurse aide competency evaluation exam".
Now that you are enlightened about its true name, let's introduce you to its aim- the nurse aide competency exam is designed to ascertain that the applicants graduated from "state accredited CNA schools" are skilled enough to uphold the job duties of a 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 Style, Equipments To Take In Exam Hall!
Provided that your CNA program has trained you thoroughly at each and 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 also the didactic lecture classes, then this written part of the CNA check would seem like a piece of cake.
Talking of the CNA written test, allow me to tell you that it comprises of one hundred questions pertaining to topics like basic nursing skills, patient care, cleanliness, 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 the 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 significantly, 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, throughout which the invigilators would ask you to show your hands-on nursing skills at certain CNA duties like bed making, examining blood pressure (or other vital stats), wound dressing etc. By the way, before you start the process, it's anticipated of you to wash both hands clean and introduce yourself to the person-acting-as-a-patient!
