B R Nursing School

Sitting in a classroom and going to clinicals is very time consuming.  Especially for those of us who must work full time and attend class.  We value our time with our family, because if you are in this business, you care about people and family time is important as well.

So, B&R Nursing School has decided to give you the information you need so that you can study at home for your CNA State Exam and pass with with no problems.  This study program is not for everyone.  You must have will power and be dedicated to this program.  If you are not the type to do things on your own, this program is not for you.  If you’re ready to become a CNA and are dedicated, read on…

1. You must study and practice each testing skill.  Not every skill, but just the skills the state will test you on.  Your skills may vary state to state, so check your local nursing board website for the skills for that state.

2. Study the basics.  The tests will test you in many different areas, from fire safety in the nursing home, to nutrition.  However, all of these questions on the state test are mainly common sense questions.  If you read into the question and answers, you can pretty much pass the test.

3. When practicing the skills, what helps most is to divide your skills into areas.  Such as the pre-skill steps like your introduction, checking patient name with bracelet, providing privacy with a curtain and so on.  Then, the post-skill steps like putting all of your items where they belong and making sure the call button is in the patients reach.

You can purchase blood pressure cuffs and stethoscope combinations online from as low as $19.  Practice all of your vital sign skills on your family members.  But try it on different family members, not just one.  This will help change things up a bit and you will not “learn” the pulse, blood pressure, and respirations from the same person and be expecting a certain number.

4.  It is very helpful during skill test time that you “Help” your testing partner out during the skills.  When I took my state test, my partner did not help me at all.  I had to ambulate a patient to wall 10 feet.  Once I placed the belt around her and stand her up, it was like she was acting like a REAL patient.  Do NOT do this to your partner. Help them out!  When she checked my respirations, I would take really deep breaths, even loud enough for her to hear.  That way, she would not have to guess when I was breathing.  This makes things so much easier.

5.  Ask questions.  Simply post a reply to this article and ask any questions you have. We will get you an answer right away.  If we are unsure of your answer, we will find the answer, but chances are, we already know it.  We are here to teach you!

If you have anything you would like to add to this, let us know. We will be glad to take advice from CNA’s, LPN’s, and RN’s from anywhere in the U.S.!!
