3 Tips To Help You Pass The Cna Test

Men and women nowadays who are opting for a career in nursing will need to pass the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) examination

. The best way to do this is to get into a reputed training school where all the skills and subjects covered in the test will be taught to you. The CNA test is broken up into two parts: a practical test of your skills, and a written test. In the skills test, you will be asked to carry out specific tasks and be scored according to how well you execute them, while the written test is a multiple-choice one.

*Subject And Skills Covered

The three skill areas covered in the examinations are physical care, psychosocial care and nursing aide role. Physical care covers the knowledge of nutrition, hygiene, technical and therapeutic methods, infection control, dressing and grooming, and behavior in emergencies. In psychosocial care, you will be tested on your knowledge of mental health, and emotional, cultural and spiritual needs. Nursing aide role concentrates on the job functions of the aide. This includes the knowledge of patient rights, ethical and legal matters, if you are a team player and communication skills.

*How to study for it

A good way to go is to get the study guide for the exam. Many students also opt for practice tests which can be found online. These practice tests have similar types of questions found in the real ones, and will also help familiarize you with the format. Studying and doing revision with a friend or in a group is a great way to help you retain all you have learnt.

*Getting over exam fear

You also need to be relaxed on the day of the examination so that your thought processes can work smoothly. So, make sure you have at least eight hours of sleep the night before the examination. A proper rest will help soothe nerves. Eat a good breakfast as you will need the energy and be able to think better. Trust your instincts while choosing your answer. Nine times out of ten, the first answer you choose will be the correct one.

The CNA examination will test your mental and physical care proficiency and if you study hard, practice your skills and prepare yourself mentally and physically, there is no reason for you not to pass the examination. Remember, most battles are won in your head, so stay positive.
