Has anybody on here taken the prometric CNA exam?

Question

Any advice? Thoughts? Tips? I need good thoughts/vibes/luck. I'm not that concerned about the written portion as from what I'm gathering it seems like it's mostly common sense stuff. The skills is another story. I took a 4 day express class which was very informative, but didn't provide a ton of hands on training which is a big part of why I'm so nervous. I know damn well that I can do it, it's just that I tend to have a bad habit of letting my anxiety/nerves get in the way. :/

Answer

I’ve taken it! 
It’s pretty easy. 
They’ll give you a partner for the test to role play with. You and your partner will get 3 tasks randomly selected out of 21 different tasks. One of those tasks is going to be proper handwashing (it always is), and then whatever other 2 they choose. 
You’ll be the patient for 3 tasks, and your partner will be the patient for the other 3 tasks.
You have to pass all 3 tasks. 
The most important things to remember:
- safety violations are an automatic fail. You can recover from pretty much any screw up but not a safety violation. Be aware of everything you’re doing. 
- if you do catch yourself messing up, State “correction: *whatever you should have done instead*” they’ll still take off points, but it will be less taken off
- between each task, you ALWAYS exit the area, knock three times, introduce yourself, and ask for permission to enter
- explain what you’re doing and try to keep conversation going between you and the patient while you work. Bedside manner is being judged
