So yesterday i took this test, this awful test. You see I had to take this Nurse Aide test to become a CNA so I can stay in the Nursing program. Well...the written was a piece of cake. Then they pick 5 random skils for you to perform. Mine were:
1.Hand Washing...it was a joke..so easy
2.ROM exercises... I had the wrist and it was easy passed with flying colors
3.Mouth care of the Unconcious Resident...Easy as well
4. Male Perineal Care...Awkward but I flew through it
5. VITAL SIGNS...Ahhh I know I got the pulse right and the respirations, but...The blood pressure...I DONT KNOW!!! I wouldn't be so worried about it, but the girl I was partnered with had a really high BP and I had never practiced with her, and they don't tell you if you got it right!!!! Her BP was 140/92 from what I heard, and the instructer kinda acted like i knew but I just am so worried! You see if I got the wrong BP I fail the whole test! That's it one thing missed and I FAIL!!!!
I am so worried, and the results could take up to 30days!!!! What the Heck! They are trying to give me a stroke or something.
Well to think positively...if I passed this test starting in January I will be starting the Nursing program and will be set to graduate as a RN in December 2011! I can take the licensing exam in December 2010 to become a LPN and still continue on in the program and graduate with my degree and become a RN. So...I guess you could say that in one year I will finally have a professional title!!!! Yay!

Krista!! Idk what is going on, but your blog posts are coming up as "undefined," so Blogger didn't tell me that you posted these posts!! I just decided to come over to your blog to see if you were okay, and there are these new posts!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh. Stinky Blogger :[ anyway, I am sure you passed! I tried to be a nurse (sigh) and I couldn't hack it. Anatomy 2 almost killed me. I made a C, but it was terrible. Plus I couldn't pass Math 116.. Ridiculous, I know. I passed Math 211 & 212 with both being As, but I couldn't pass 116. :| Algebra is just too hard for me.
ReplyDeleteanyway... I know you'll be a great nurse!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting. Wow!
