Thank you Nurse Jar for your easy to follow videos. I watched them for two days and tested on the third day and passed the exam. This was one of the skills that l got tested on. God bless you.
I've been binge watching all of your videos lol. I'm a junior nursing student and never took a CNA class but I qualify to take the exam now that I've gone through enough clinical hours. Hopefully I can pass with your help, thank you for the great videos!!
You are a wonderful teacher, I am learning a lot and I feel more confident after watching and learning from your videos , God bless you and your family. Thank you!
I'm taking my test next month and I'm "challenging" the test because I already work in the field and money wise. I've saved all your videos in a playlist to study from. You are a wonderful teacher and I feel more confident after watching your videos. Subscribed! I'll let you know how I do :)
Hi! I'm a 4th year nursing students here in the Philippines, the moment I finished watching your videos I subscribed right away! The way you explained is really good!! It helped me a lot reviewing my skills 💕
I only seen that you forgot one thing, the two fingers in between the gait belt and the patient to make sure it is on secure but not too tight. I appreciate the videos and tips
Hi, Sasha! Using the two-finger breaths technique is not a required step during testing. That is only a universal technique that folks may or may not choose to use in a real life environment.
Thank you for all your videos, Nurse Jar. I had this skill(Transfer from bed to chair with gait belt)on my recent test and unfortunately I failed. My resident actor was not wearing a gown. Both the chair and bed had no wheels. Was I supposed to simulate all this? One thing I forgot to do though, and was pointed out as a reason for my failure was removing the gait belt from the resident after I sat her in the chair.
I noticed you left the residents wheelchair locked. My instructor stated that the wheelchair must be unlocked while the resident is seated in the wheelchair so they are free to do whatever. Please clearify! Thank you!
In real life, yes, you do not want to lock the wheelchair, as that would be considered restraining the person. However, my videos are not demonstrating how to perform nursing tasks in real life. My videos demonstrate how the candidate must perform skills for testing. The candidate must perform the skill as required to do so in their Nurse Aide Candidate Handbook.
@@NURSEJAR My test is this Saturday coming up, if this was one of my skill listed to do on my exam, will I then leave the chair locked or unlocked for the test?
Can you raise the head of the bed to help them to get to a sitting position or is it better to help them to get to a sitting position from a supine position like what was done in the video?
I love these videos but I have noticed there is little use of good body mechanics for the CNA, like raising the bed to a better position to work with, keeping your back straight. Isn't that one of the requirements for passing these skills?
Hi, Martha! Thank you for your comment and question. Because the proper use of body mechanics is not emphasized during testing, I encourage my students not to use during testing unless they absolutely need to. My reasoning behind this is, if the candidate raises the level of the bed and forgets to lower it, he/she will get flagged for safety, which in return, could cause them to fail the skills test.
Hello Mrs. Reynolds i would like to start off by saying thank you very much for your great tips and videos you upload on youtube. As a person who is interested in pursuing nursing i am very grateful and would be happy to support all you do for future health care providers. I have a question in respect to the skills aspect of the cna examination. Are the examiners going to be testing us solely on the skills provided in the current texas nurse aide candidate handbook or is it other skills as well not mentioned in the handbook as well? Thank you.
Thank you, Lalita! The only skills you will be tested on are the 22 skills listed in your Nurse Aide Candidate Handbook. Hand Hygiene will always be your first skill. One of the 5 me as surement skills will be your second skill, either the exception of Urinary Output. This skill is usually placed towards the end of your exam. The next three skills will be random bedside skills. Hope Zito answered your question!
Thank you very much Mrs. Reynolds and may i have your permission to share your videos with my colleagues? I think there is a lot of good lessons in the videos you provide that i wish my CNA teacher would have taught us.Thank you very much Mrs. Reynolds and i hope everyone that encounters your videos can learn a thing or two because you are an amazing instructor. @@NURSEJAR
Why, THANK YOU, Lalita! Such generous words! Hey, the more my videos are watched and liked, the greater my channel will grow. So, please, feel free to share my channel with your colleagues.

Again, thank you for such kind words and your support for my channel.
Raise bed up slightly, Let the bed do some of the work, then raise HOB, save your back. One arm of CNA at res back at shoulders and one arm beneath legs at knees to pivot res to edge of bed. Lower bed at this point so res feet can touch floor
I love the way you did the skill just a quick question are you supposed to put the belt away then say I’m washing my hands skill done. I’m presenting doing the course and that’s what I was told that we need to put away the supplies wash our hands and then say skill done .
Hi, Beverly! Yes, you are correct. Place used supplies in the designated dirty supply area before verbalizing, "washing hands" and "skill complete". Thank you!
Hello Nurse Jar, when placing your knees on the outside and inside of patients knee to provide stability and support, would your knees be on the side of the knees of the affected or unaffected leg?
In real life, if the client is able to, yes. For testing, it is not necessary to have the acting client to grasp the w/c arms. Please, keep in mind that how things are done in real life is totally different then what is required for testing. You do not want to perform unneccessary additional steps, as this will take away from your allotted time to complete the exam.
Hold I’m confused. I was taught in this skill to raise the head of the bed into a seated position, not help them up like what you did. I’m confused now.
Umm since Pearson Vue is no longer holding the Certificate Nurse Aid Test, at least where I live in Texas, and now the test is being held by Prometric I’m wondering if all the steps will be the same?
At work I usually raise the head of the bed first just because my back always hurts and then I transfer facing the chair from a semi upright position. Should I not do that on the test or does it not matter? Thanks for the vids!
Hi, Loveline! During testing, you must lock the wheelchair before standing the person for the transfer. If you unlock it after the person has been transferred, make sure you lock it back before stating skill complete.
Good morning Julie. I have a question so person vue It's no longer in our area and it's codential I noticed that the gate belt is to the back now That's how they taught us So there's anything else that I need to know that changed on the skills?
Hi, Ilanet! I think you mean "Credentia". The skills steps are still the same. The buckle of the gait belt should always be positioned to the front, just NOT directly over the belly button.
These are Pearson vue rules on the skill? Because as a cna instructor for pearson vue, we didnt see assisting to sit up, but just to bring them around using arm behind shoulders and arm around kegs. Thanks!
These videos are based under the requirements for Pearson Vue. Keep in mind that there are several different ways one may assist the person into a seated position. The way I have demonstrated in this video lowers the risk of the person pulling on the client's arms and handling the client roughly. Another way is to just raise the client's HOB to a High Fowler's position. However, because candidates are timed, I train my students to do the assisting manually, as this way takes less time. Every instructor may have their own method of how they train and demonstrate to their students how to assist the person into a seated position.
Miss Reynolds, is this a new way of getting patient out of bed by supporting the patient with your hand at the back instead of the crossing their hands on the chest
No, this is not a new way to assist the person into a seated position or to assist them with getting out of bed. The only times I train students to have the resident cross their arms across their chest (give themselves a hug) is when moving or turning the resident in bed. Hope this answered your question!
Great video. I watched all this but failed my test because i had to do all my skills at once here in Iowa. They gave me a paper saying “ mrs lane is an unconscious 72 years old woman. She needs oral care and side positionning. While caring for her you notice she is incontinent “ and i had 45 mn... i freaked out and missed many things because i had to do all the skill at oncs. Going back in 2 weeks. Please help cos i will have some similar again. Which skill do i do first ? I did oral care , changed her chuck and pericare and position her but failed. ( infection control)... do i need bed change in this scenario. ? Do i change her bed cos she incontinent / or does need bed bath because of her incontinence? Also which skill comes first in this scenario. Tks 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Nurse Julie! I love your videos I’ve been using them to study for my state exam next Tuesday. I have a question about the closing steps on this skill. After giving the client the call light once they are seated in the chair, do we need to do anything about safety for the chair ex. Lock the wheels? I wasn’t sure because I can see it can be seen as a restraint. Thank you!
Hi, Jenny! Glad to hear my videos are helpful! First, you have to separate and distinguish what you do in "REAL LIFE" from what is required of you to do during "TESTING". With that said, during testing, you are required to "LOCK" the brakes on the wheelchair. Hope I answered your question! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do.
This is only accurate if the patient was primarily independant prior to hospital admission, with good distal strength sensation and mobility..For stroke patients, you would NEVER do what she did.!!!!
Thank you Nurse Jar for your easy to follow videos. I watched them for two days and tested on the third day and passed the exam. This was one of the skills that l got tested on. God bless you.
Congratulations, I will take mine next month ✌️

So we can higher it and then lower it when putting the feet on the floor

Hii Nurse jar, could you please make a video transfert the resident from the bed to wheelchair using a pivot technique? 😊😊😊

What if the patient is completely paralyzed? I wish to see a video of how to transfer from bed to wheelchair?

Hi, Sariahrobins! I hope so, too!!! Good luck! Let me know how you do.
Great video!
So we can leave the gait belt in the bed after we take it off the client?
For this skill does the resident have to have a gown on? Since gait belt cannot be touching street clothes?
Hey julie after you sit her on the wheelchair do you leave the wheelchair wheel locked or not?
Locked
Can we leave the client as shown in the video or are we supposed to move them so they are next to the head of the bed facing the edge of the bed?
Hi! For testing, once you've transferred the client to the wheelchair, you may leave them facing in the direction they are in.
Hold I’m confused. I was taught in this skill to raise the head of the bed into a seated position, not help them up like what you did. I’m confused now.

I have a question dear … is the gait belt ambulated by nurse only or a uap can do it also?

Does the patient need nonskid footwear for this skill?

Hi, K Reynold! Which Authorized Administrator adminsters testing for your state, Prometric or Headmaster?
NURSE JAR its iowa none of the two. Community colleges administer testing here but its really similar to headmaster.
Okay. I'm not too familiar with Headmaster, so I wouldn't feel confident with answering your question. I'm sorry!
Please update

how to take cna certification tnx u
Hi Nurse Jar..How can i connect with you ?
Looks easy butbits not especiallynif your candidate mobility is weak.
