The Dreaded CNA Test

Well after stressing about this test for nearly a month and a half it is now over. It has been quite the experience and it seems like everything that could go wrong did go wrong! As part of the test we had to take a set of vitals on the other student testing with us. Well just my luck the girl was a little bit on the bigger side and I couldn't find her pulse! Such a simple little thing, but I was so nervous that it took me over 10 minutes to even find it. Hopefully the examiner goes easy on me! :S I also had to do a back rub, convert ml to oz, measure and record weight, a one man pivot transfer, and a few other little things. Luckily the scenario I drew wasn't too difficult, but you never know if the examiner is going to be in a good mood that day or not. Then after I got home I got a phone call saying that my ID had expired so the state wouldn't accept it! It has been quite the run around today trying to get it all dealt with. I hope it all works out and that I passed everything! It would be nice to have this out of the way when I start nursing school in January! Glad to have this day over with!
