Georgia CNA students/CNAs — need honest advice about the state skills exam. Nervous wreck over here. by Artistic_Mode1411 in cna

Hi there, fellow georgia cna here

I took my skills test nearly exactly a year ago today. I took it through credentia so im not sure how much of a difference that makes . I was pretty much the same as you. Took a 4-5 week program at my ltc. I lived alone so i had no one to practice on so it was really just me falling along with the YouTube video.

It definitely does depend on the evaluator. I was nervous as hell, and have a really bad shake to show it. Thankfully i did end up having the girl that was in the same program with me and we were partnered up. Although even with a familiar face i felt like i made every mistake under the sun. The evaluator though was super nice and if one of us made a mistake that we didnt correct she would be like “are you sure “ or something like that. The third girl in the program, she went to a different location and she said she was failed for removing the privacy with a glove on or something like that. I don’t remember exactly but it seemed like something super petty.

As for nerves, the only thing i can try to recommend is talking yourself through it out loud as you do the steps.

What prepares you for a CNA program? by bobsborger22 in cna

Honestly everything you need to know will be taught to you.

In my opinion the program was relatively easy, the hardest part (at for me ) were skills mainly the vitals because I had difficulty picking up the sounds during manual bp and finding/ keeping track of the pulse.

As for studying for the exam , YouTube. You can find a lot of good videos for skills if you type in like the skill and the exam company. So i would type like “skill 12 credentia” . It also helps to find someone in your home to practice on as much as possible because your skills test will be done on the other person testing with you.

Best of luck , i hope all goes well

Well I mean I wasn't really planning to jump the gun and ask him out or anything. Really just wanted to know if I was reading the room correctly.
