Just wanted to let you know, I took my exam yesterday (FL) and passed. Your videos were the reason. My skills were ROM: wrist and elbow. Pulse and Partial Bed Bath. I was nervous as hell but I proceeded just like I saw in the video. Flawless. I called the hosipital to let them know I pass as well. I should have my offer letter early next week. Watch the video's guys. You will pass. I watched each one at least 2 times.

[@4yourcna]

Very Nice! Thank you and Good Luck with your new Career!

[@mitziegreen1749]

Just view all the skills and you'll do well. I am now 2 classes away from finishing my RN program. Press on

[@kirstenberg379]

I took my CNA test today, did not take any prep courses and had challenged the test. All I used to study was your videos- I had this skill, measure pulse, and ROM of elbow and wrist and I PASSED!! The test administrator told me she could not criticize or penalize me for one thing, that my skills were perfect and spot on-I have you to thank for that! Thank you so much for making these videos.

[@alexusmitchell9747]

So fast forward I did pass & I have my cna license it’s been 5 years now since I’ve had my license 🥳 these videos helps a lot so thankful for her because before going to take my cna test I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched her videos lol I love what I do but I am so ready to go back to school I still would like to be in healthcare but Cna is just not what it is anymore sadly😔 I’ve gotten soooo burnt out badddd like I said don’t get me wrong Cna is good & also good money plenty of opportunities in the cna field but don’t make it a thing you would want to do FOREVER I’m currently looking to do LPN or RN ❤️ will come back & do an update on how things are going with my nursing journey ❤️ & goodluck to who ever is studying for CNA I hope you pass 🤞🏽

[@4yourcna]

Please watch the video again. During the opening, I stated that I was leaving to wash my hands (handwashing is not shown as it is demonstrated in another video), and gloves are applied before I wash the patient's face (although for the exam, they are optional). The wheels are already locked (please see the introduction video for this skill) and raising the bed is not required as many beds in many settings do not have that ability (home care, assisted living). This video is correct.

[@crystalcallaway3998]

being a cna is a great job to do with clients if you like to help older people

[@umama5531]

Thank you so much I passed my test and got my License today very happy I hope you all pass those who are willing to I love your videos thank you.😊

I passed yesterday and I just wanna say thank you you for all of your videos and educating me.

[@latoyabennett2312]

What state are you in?

[@latoyabennett2312]

Am waiting for my date to do mine

[@nolmxxv]

@@latoyabennett2312 Florida these videos help a lot and I know some practice for the multiple choice if you need

[@4yourcna]

I am happy to hear that you are finding our videos helpful in your training! We wish you luck in your new career!

[@29ambercote]

Dont know about florida but prometrics in ny,u would have failed lol,first thing,wash hands before you even start,second,gloves should be worn,third bed should be,raised to waist level and wheels checked to see if they are in locked position,and this is before you even start!!!

[@tinmjohnson14]

I think you suppose to raise the bed up to your waist level for good body mechanics.

[@ponokunishima1]

Yeah, she didn't do that!

[@Lana-ro6cb]

Ma’am EVERY test ARE DIFFERENT. There are exams that do not require that you lower the bed. All test examination are different. It will depend on where its taken or WHO is giving the skills test. For example, if you are tested by Prometrics, then you do not need to touch the bed.

[@elizabethhope1179]

That all so

[@4yourcna]

We are so happy that you found our videos helpful! Best of luck to you!

[@4yourcna]

We are glad you are enjoying the videos and finding them helpful as you prepare for your exam. Good luck!

[@broganhogan3469]

Thank you so much for these videos... I passed my test a few months ago got a great job and love what I do. Thank you for helping me achieve my dream of an entry level position into the world of healthcare god bless good luck to all of you

[@dearzolanski]

I took my Prometric this morning and this was the hardest skill I had gotten but I just remembered everything you did and I passed! If not for your videos I don't know how I would've done because the class I took wasn't helpful enough with the actual hand on skills. Thank you so much! To anyone studying for your Prometric in the state of Florida, these videos along with the Prometric checklist will really help you to pass. First try at both written and skills and I'm done! Thanks again!

[@dearzolanski]

Hands on*

[@mikeleader6469]

Thank you for making these, I'm taking my CNA test in a few hours here, and these are just a good reassurance to watch.

[@luhpretty3395]

test is tomorrow and i was totally freaking out... Glad that i found these videos to refresh my memory!!!! Thanks for posting them

[@misseunicethebest4064]

Thank you @4yourCNA, Miss Patty thank u for your skills online and I passed Whoop

[@TheWelcome7]

The dummy doesn't resist or fight back, but believe me, there will be a patient that will resist and give you hell. It does happen.

[@4yourcna]

If the patient is resisting care or "fighting back", you need to report that to the nurse. Patients have to consent to care - performing care on a resisting patient is battery. If the patient has dementia, only individuals trained in working with dementia patients with a calm, reassuring, non-threatening manner should be providing care to minimize patient discomfort. Remember, it's always about the patient, not us. They are patients that need care, not prisoners. If unable to perform care, the nurse needs to know.

[@TheWelcome7]

Dealing with dementia patients who are immobile should also be the focus in these videos to prepare rookies for the worst, or give you a second thought about becoming a CNA in the first place

[@4yourcna]

I agree that students should be educated on Dementia - however, that should be covered in depth in any CNA training course led by a knowledgeable RN instructor who can dispell myths, provide education and discuss proper interventions and treatment techniques. This cannot be done in a video setting. These videos are not intended to take the place of a CNA course taught by a licensed instructor. They are simply to demonstrate the skills as they are to be performed in a testing setting. Additional training will be provided by an instructor - these videos are for test preparation purposes only. Thank you for your comment.

[@jennellynellz]

Danny Vasquez what makes you say second thought?

[@4yourcna]

Yes, explaining every step makes the patient more aware of what you are doing and therefore, more cooperative. Put yourself in their position, what would you want to know? By telling them everything you are doing, it eliminates the discomfort and fear of the unknown. YOU know what you are about to do, but the patient doesn't. Great observation and good luck in your classes!

[@mrsecperalta86]

Thanks to these videos I passed my prometric cna exam for the state of Hawaii . I even ran out of time on this skill and i still passed ! Thank you so much for the awesome videos

[@deadman5281]

@4yourCNA Thank you for your kind words!! I am grateful that you allow all of us to watch these! Thank you for showing it the correct way; all the other videos I have seen are hard to learn from because they make you feel like they are teaching you wrong! Especially when you've been in the field before and know better (i.e. like me).. THANK YOU!!..Heidi

[@deadman5281]

I had my test yesterday and this was one of the skills I had...I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! Because these videos helped me to pass!!!...Heidi

[@dee3martinez]

your video is very professional and its a joy to have the correct and proper way shown on youtube for once

[@4yourcna]

WOW! What a great comment! We are so proud of you! We wish you luck in your new career! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know...we really appreciate hearing how our videos are helping students achieve their goals!

[@al3xf.249]

i took my cna test today and all the skills i got i passed with flying colors due to your videos!!!!! i went to Sheridan tech and did the pct program and if i had done what i was thought to do by my instructors i would have failed thanks god for your info and videos you help a lot of people reach there goals

[@4yourcna]

There should be a dirty linen hamper within easy reach during the skills exam. If there is no dirty linen hamper within easy reach, you can place the soiled items on an area of the barrier, but keep the dirty items and clean items separated (i.e., on each side of the wash basin). You can then dispose of your items all at once at the end of the skill. This video demonstrates placing the dirty linens on the barrier, away from the clean items. This is acceptable for the exam. Good luck!

[@swagga3601]

All your videos is helping me in class so much!!!! I have a great teacher but after watching your videos, you make it look easy!!

[@4yourcna]

Wow! Congratulations! We are so happy for you and wish you the best in your new career!

[@WowAaronIsAwesome]

I just took my test and passed!!!! Thanks to your videos. Thank u :)

[@4yourcna]

Washing from the waist down is covered in another skill called peri-care. The state will not have you demonstrate an entire bedbath because it would simply take way too long. They have divided it up into sections and made each section a separate skill. For the test, the care plan they give you will indicate exactly what areas to wash. This video is prepared according to those standards. Hope this helps!

[@MsDvyn]

OMG!!!! I took my CNA exam and i passed!!!! Thank you so much 4yourCNA :) i used almost all your videos to review for my exam after taking my class. I'm so excited I get my license soon :) again thank you!!

[@buttonl9148]

THANKS PATTY! THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS I PASSED MY EXAM TODAY WITH FLYING COLORS. YOUR THE BEST! THANKS AGAIN WITHOUT YOU I COULDNT HAVE DONE IT.

[@mactanese143]

one of my classmate recommended this channel.It's been pretty good though.I have schedule for the state test this month..kinda nervious..hope i can pass..

[@jahbby7713]

Thanks soo much, these skill videos really helped me out. I pass my test last week

[@hjstar168]

ohh, I have never thought of the side rails considered as a restraint. thank you so much! 1 more week til my exam day.im using your videos for practicing my skill. Very helpful indeed. thank you again! :)

[@4yourcna]

Thank you for your nice compliment. Raising the bed to a comfortable working height is not required for the test and can actually cause the candidate to fail if the forget to lower the bed at the end of the skill (a serious safety concern). To increase passing ability for the exam, we demonstrate this skill without raising the bed. Additionally, many patients in home care or ALFs do not have beds that raise, so students need to know how to perform this skill for those, as well. Thanks!

[@4yourcna]

Thank you for your great comment! It is important to understand the laws regarding nursing practice in your state...great job! Good luck in your new career!

[@marlananda]

These videos are so helpful. I am taking the state test next week in Arkansas. Thank you.

I thought when u do a bed bath you start with the side farthest from you? But overall i love all your videos and am ready for my test in 2 days 😀 wish me luck lol

Auntie Auntie Auntie.. I love your videos.. I used your techniques. With a lil change to the introduction and PASSED. your the best.. My classmates decided not to watch your videos and struggled.. Not me. The proctor loved your techniques.. 😊😊😊 thank you.

[@4yourcna]

Good luck! We are keeping our fingers crossed for you!

[@4yourcna]

For the exam, they only require demonstration on the face, torso, ONE arm, and back. You do not have to wash the other arm (they know you know how because you already demonstrated on one arm), but you do have to dress both arms in a clean gown. Hope this helps! Good luck!

[@4yourcna]

We are happy that you have found our videos helpful as you prepare for your exam! We wish you the best of luck!

[@4yourcna]

Yes, if side rails are present. However, the test does not grade on side rail use, which means that even if you use them, you would have had to promote safety as if they were not used. Therefore, having the patient scoot toward you before turning is the appropriate way to ensure that they remain safely in the bed without the use of siderails as they are always in the center of the bed. This is what they are looking for since siderails are not always available. Thanks and good luck!

[@4yourcna]

@deadman5281 Congratulations! We are so very proud of you! We are greatful that you allowed us to help you as you prepared for your test...please tell others about us! Best of luck in your new career!

We hope you did well on the exam! Although state testing procedures may vary, the general principles of safety, patient rights and infection control remain the same. Good luck!

[@4yourcna]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! We are happy that you have found our videos helpful!

[@4yourcna]

Yes, the state considers this an approved method of holding the washcloth. "containing the corners" means that the washcloth is not flapping around. This method keeps control over the washcloth as you use it. It is also the only way to completely ensure that you are using a completely different are of the washcloth for each stroke, preventing cross-contamination. The mitt is an old method, still acceptable, but this new method is preferred. Thank you for your question and good luck!

[@TheWhyteRabbit9]

I will be taking the skills exam again in NYC the demonstration was through and well structured

[@4yourcna]

You should gather your supplies only AFTER you have washed your hands (so you have clean hands to gather your clean supplies). Your hands will be dirty after closing the curtain at the beginning of the skill, so wash them after your opening. You can use any name you choose for your patient, but Mrs. Jones works well. You may store all clean washcloths in the water to keep them warm until ready to use but soapy washcloths are not returned to the basin to keep the rinse water clean. Thanks!

[@KhmerFri3nd]

This is awesome ! I'm going to have my State Board Exam in next month. I'm sure this's gonna help me so ! Thanks .....

Good luck on your test!

[@franckweill]

Hi, I live in Florida and tomorrow I'm taking my CNA exam. I've watched your video many times. I asked the school if I can take the exam you demonstrate. They said, no. I have to it accordingly to the skills sheet. We don't put a barrier on the table or even a towel under the arm to the keep the bed dry. Your steps seem so much easier. We don't undress the gown in the beginning either. I feel like as though yours is a smoother technique.

[@mercelynhenry7647]

[@4yourcna]

Yes, our online program is located at 4yourcna.com!

[@4yourcna]

Yes, you will use lotion to give a back massage to the patient. I obtained lotion at 9:18 on this video, warmed it in my hands and gave a brief backrub (3 times up from waist in circular motions) until 9:38. Please review the video at these times to view the back massage. After the massage, I used a towel to wipe off excess lotion, which is another important point for the exam. Good luck!

[@4yourcna]

@JenoJen06 Thank you for your comment! You must use a different area of the washcloth for each eye when cleaning the face, with no soap and discard that cloth after use. The washcloth you use on the torso can wash the entire torso without changing leaves because there are no body openings on the torso. We only have to change leaves if we are cleansing a body opening to prevent cross-contamination. Hope this helps! Good luck in clinicals!

[@jojoelicha]

she did Awsome job

[@4yourcna]

Thank you! We are happy you are finding our videos helpful but please refer to our newest videos for updated skills performance! Best of luck!

[@4yourcna]

These videos can be used for the practical exam in any state since they are demonstrated using nursing best practices. Small details may vary from state to state as to how the test is presented and the specific tasks they ask you to do, but follow the care plan using these videos as a guide on how to perform those steps. There have been many messages left from people testing in California who stated that these videos helped them prepare for the test. Good luck!

[@4yourcna]

Thank you for your comment! We are so happy that you are finding our videos helpful in preparing you to care for a relative. The soap is spray soap, or "No-rinse" soap (sometimes called "Peri-wash". It can be purchased in medical supply stores or online in various medical supply outlets. There are many manufacturers, and many variations. They make it easier to clean and rinse the patient without drying the skin excessively. Good luck!

Are these cna skills acceptable in michigan is there a video that helps with practicing your skills?

[@4yourcna]

We do not currently have a video on measuring height, however we will add that to our list of requested videos! Thanks for the suggestion and good luck!

[@rajinderpaldhaliwal7338]

Thanks Mam it’s very useful for me

[@callyshandy2000]

This is excellent. really EASY to follow and remember. FOR THOSE WHO WANTS EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT, get off the site! no offense.

[@a.o.washingtonjr]

thanks for that because thats exactly what i had in mind perfection you saved me a lot of stress

[@4yourcna]

If you take 5 washcloths (and the evaluator lets you), you can use them as you described, without reusing the rinsing washcloth. Either way is fine for the exam. You are not being graded on how many washcloths you take, but you are being graded on not re-using the face washcloth, not putting soapy washcloths in the basin and washing, rinsing and drying all body parts mentioned in the care plan. Good luck!

[@iceice2010]
