[@glendareodica]

Hi Christine! I passed my test last May 7th. I just wanted to thank you for your videos, it really helped me a LOT! I got this skill and followed all the step by step in this video and my Evaluator said I did an excellent job. Thank you so much again!

[@spacebar3825]

Just want to thank you guys for your videos couldn't have passed the test without them

[@essencelebby]

This was one of my skills along with lateral laying and PPE, thank you so much for these tutorials! If you’re in California I would recommend changing water after cleaning under the nails per the ARC handbook. YOU HELPED ME SOOOOO MUCH, thank you 🙏

[@taylorlaparl7915]

did you pass the first time? im just a little nervous. and also do you have to wear gloves every single time you touch the resident? for example: for putting the resident in fowlers position ?

[@essencelebby]

No I didn’t pass the first time, the first time I had shaving, PPE and ROM. I failed because the ARC nurse said my back was showing after putting on PPE...I was so devastated. I was wearing PPE so I didn’t change my gloves during turning the patient because that would contaminate me.

[@THEnatica69]

It says to change the water after cuticles, etc , rinse the resident's hands, dry hands , and then to trim the fingernails (for ARC test in CA), so it's little bit different. But guys, thank you so much for explaining everything in a way that I could understand the details , you are amazing !!! Great talent of teaching others

[@danyielsays4621]

Yeah thats how I was taught in class too

[@samsonolal4399]

I like the way she explains the process infact in all the videos I have been seeing I found this is explain,only what am getting confused of is the side rails.We have been told its purpose to be ordered by the doctor for all side rails to be up,otherwise at all time they should be down.

[@sandraosborn171]

Thank you so much for making these videos. I have learned alot from you . And I like the way you Representative step by step thank you

[@edgarmeza9195]

Christine I want to thank you for all the videos you post on your channel. They’re very helpful. I’ve got this skill for my state test and I’ve passed. God bless you. I’m in California.

[@prtnst]

Did you do the same things she did in all her videos? Im taking mine next week in Los Angeles

[@edgarmeza9195]

prtnst yes same exact thing. You’ll pass, use her videos as reference

[@prtnst]

@@edgarmeza9195 ok cool! My class was taught a different way and then all of a sudden we were told about the Red Cross way. I showed them these videos and my classmates were looking at me funny. But I know Sac Med does it correctly. Thanks! I will binge watch Christine

[@prtnst]

Also, what skills did you get? On Occupied bed the packet says to leave top sheet in place, but Christine uses a bath blanket and removes top sheet. Did you use the same amount of gloves as she did?

[@edgarmeza9195]

prtnst you need to make sure you do it the Res Cross way. These videos follow their criteria.

[@MrSpinteractive]

Soo helpful. I'll be helping my elder mother with her nails using these techniques soon.

[@jaygarcia5424]

You're videos are awesome! Im currently on my cna program they call it stna here on Ohio.. Omg im excited and nervous i test in a few weeks. But with this videos im getting more confident.

[@victoriaavila8918]

so do you sometimes leave one of the the side rails down? or becuase i remember my instructor telling us to always put side rails up?

[@debraseiling455]

Thanks for sharing this fingernail trimming tutorial.

[@heatherjohnson1224]

[@DyeJun18beby]

[@DyeJun18beby]

[@Runruntothehills]

"Hello Mrs Jones, I'm going to take care of your nails, is that ok for you ? Mrs Jones : 👁👄👁

[@xelence420]

I didn’t realize the camera person from The Blair Witch Project was involved in CNA tutorials. Wild.

[@alexisdiaz7479]

LMFAO, stop it!!!

[@kaitlynlangmead567]

how do you wipe off the orange stick after each cuticle if there is a washcloth/cotton on it...? do you have to change the washcloth/cotton each time? I know no one will get around to answering this before my test but its just a thought; Red Cross does not specify (as they tend not to do anyway).

[@jeanettelopez9586]

taking my test in sacramento on the 17 of this month. i'm super nervous this is my retest and the last time i tested was in 2016

[@anthonettekiara3603]

You will pass! I passed just watching by this video and memorize all the supplies you need. You’ll pass!

[@alexisdiaz7479]

Your test was yesterday, how did it go? I know testing is different due to COVID. I hope you passed! I’m taking my test in about 8 hours and this will be my first time testing.

[@angeliquegutierrez9020]

i had this skill when i first took it at ARC Sacramento. i passed this one, did everything like what's on the video. i also got position the resident in lateral and passed it, but i failed on the weight :( took my 2nd one in ARC Sacramento, got the lateral position again and did the exact same verbalizations and performed it but they failed me again. I don't know how and why, when i actually did all the failed steps they mentioned. I'm so disappointed. So i'm taking it the 3rd time in San Jose instead. Wish me luck

[@amberlynnsgiganticneck5948]

Angelique Gutierrez they didn’t tell you why you failed the lateral position?

[@wieda9681]

Going to my class im a couple of weeks and im watching these to sort of study. I was wondering, when you ask the resident if it is okay that you assist them and they say no what would you do next? Not for exam purposes just my own curiosity really

[@Goodchingchongpingpong]

How many skills are in the test

[@jejelaurent9495]

They need to pay CNA more in Florida.

[@theWolfofVaca]

Thanks for the training and all these videos.

[@rhiannonbassett8152]

I'm confused why she left one side rail up

[@adamkreamer1223]

Quick question... Some times at the end of a skill, the ride rails or both up and something one is down and one is up. Why is this? Thank you!

[@CuddlyJon]

In real facilities, sometimes residents have an order for leaving one side rail up and one side rail down. When you perform the skill, your best bet is to have both up. However, you should verbalize that you would check the doctors order for side rails.

[@sherryllmitchell5671]

Mi

[@RosaMartinez-gi4wq]

SOOO, what happened if they ask me to do both hands, should I soak them both at the same time? or one at the time ?can somebody please answer me thank you very much😬😬😬😬

[@mahoganysmith3698]

[@jessicajacques7226]

sacmed all the time i passed my test yesterday thank you sacmed

[@14bogota]

Thank you!

[@jacquelinetapia3159]

Should you sit or stand while performing this skill?

[@sandrahampton5267]

She didn't actually wash the resident's hand, she soaked her hand.

[@adiixtacy]
