Question: I want to become a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and have some questions about the process?

I want to know how difficult it is to become a CNA. I’m curious about the kind of “test” and courses I would have to go through and if it’s something that is worth it? I’m really interested in doing this and have been doing some research, but cant find any kind of test examples or anything that’s really helpful that I don’t already know.. Can anyone help?

Well, I’d like to start off by saying that Certified Nursing Assistant is the most rewarding job!!! I just finished my CNA Training program 4 weeks ago and am now working as a new cna! The training program is pretty easy, lots of talking/lectures, quizzes. Then you actually will be going to a nursing home they call that clinical week basically on the job training and you get familiar with the type of work you’ll be doing. Once your Exam comes up you’ll have a 60 question test and then you will need to preform 4/6 skills in front of a Red Cross Examiner. The written test is very easy it’s basically common sense questions. Lots about Infectious Control. And my skills test was very easy as well, as long as you study hard and stay positive you’ll do great. It’s very important to remember these 3 indirect skills. Communication, Rights, and Safety! Hand washing is very important and the privacy of the residents. The 4 skills that I had to preform were Hand washing, re positioning patients, Assisting with bed pan, and Range of Motion. I really encourage you to take this program it is a great learning experience and it’s so rewarding to be able to help individuals in such a vulnerable time in their life’s. Here is a website you can check out for CNA practice exam. Good Luck!!!!
