[@saleenahannon1963]

Thank you for your Pearson Vue skills videos. I tested under Pearson Vue. Your skills videos helped me review the skills I had learned 3 years ago in CNA training. I successfully passed the skills test and the written test and was able to renew my CNA certification. Saleena H.

Isn't that contamination, when the paper towel slides on the counter top?

[@kierraehnes6937]

Does it matter which way you dry your hands?? And if you use the same paper towel for both arms??

Good morning nurse Julie, thank you so much for all your videos. Please help me this, including indirect care and hand washing plus other 3 skills, total how many hands washing under running water with soap, do we need to do it ??? For my knowledge total 4 times am I right!! Because before 5 skills start, the first thing enter the room introduces yourself then washing hands after finishing this first skill at the end washing hands, then 2nd skill verbalize washing hands until end of the 2nd skill. On the 3rd skill, enter the room do same as the first skill about hand washing. So that’s why total 4 times hands washing but timing 3 minutes for all skills is not enough right I mean I can’t finish 3 minutes, 4 or 6 times hand washing total 5 skill, I am confused,can you help me on this, on Prometric. Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤❤❤💐💐💐

Hi, Amanda! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do.

I am waiting on a Test Date from Prometric & I’m finding a lot of inconsistencies between the CNA prep class I took & videos online & on KZbin. Do you happen to know what the (5) Paper Towel rule is or how specific the proctor is going to be to every single detail?

[@NURSEJAR]

Hi, Dawn! "5 Paper Towel" Rule??? What the heck is that?!!! With all the many years I've been training, I've never heard of such a thing! All instructors teach and train differently. No one instructor or video is going to be identical.

[@dawnvictoriadick7084]

@@NURSEJAR the live instructor said it’s an “automatic fail” if you 1) touch your hands/fingers after they’ve been rinsed & 2) if you don’t use a paper towel going superior from fingers to wrist hand closed - (1) inside left hand, (1) outside left hand, (1) inside right hand, (1) outside right hand & (1) to turn off faucet = (5) Total. Instructor even said not to open hand to dry fingers or twist at the wrist; that it must be a single, straight sweep from fingers to wrist. Most other vids show drying each finger, etc. I question this stuff because I wasn’t sure if each testing facility/county had different ways they grade and just want to pass the exam feeling confident & not just winging it. So thank you for your video!

@@dawnvictoriadick7084 Hi, did you take your exam yet? Do you know if we have to apply that 5 paper towel rule?

[@reneecoats8116]

The hand washing is not the first skill It is PART of the first skill. Please don’t say skill complete when you finish hand washing. Wait until the First of the assigned skills is finished before saying skill complete. Also, you washed up to your wrists but then rinsed from far above where you lathered. Wouldn’t that contaminate where you just washed?

[@NURSEJAR]

Hi, Renee! First, this skill training video is for Pearson Vue and Prometric. Hand Hygiene is a stand alone skill for these two Authorized Administrators. If students are testing under either of these Authorized Administrators, Hand Hygiene will always be the first skill the Candidate is required to perform. Sounds like you may be talking about the Authorized Administrator, Headmaster, which I have no training videos on my channel as of yet for this Authorised Administrator. As far as me rinsing the lower parts of my arms, when you are lathering your wrists, the soap actually gets pushed up to your lower arm. If I did not rinse my lower arm, I would still have soap remaining on them. If you read the title of the video, it displays which Authorized Administrator the skills training video is for. Hope my explanation clears things up for you!

@@NURSEJAR I am taking skill test on October 10 for Credentia so is this video will be helpful or I have to look somewhere else Credentia training videos? Thank you so much for you efforts for helping CNA students.

I’m also curious if we have to take our watch off and then back on arent we contaminating against?
