I took my Exam today 06/29/2022 and Passed both parts on my first try. I want to thank u so much for these videos. I watched them everyday for a week and even in my sleep. I kept my phone on repeat. I was so nervous I almost didnt take the test. I tried to reschedule when I arrived. After deciding to take it and passing, one of the instructors told me I did Great and reminded me of how I almost didnt even take it. Thank u again..
Congrats!!! What skills do you had to do?
@@pattybaena6126 Hi, the skills I had were respiration, changing to a side lying position, and making and occupied bed. I prayed to the lord and asked him otw to test to pls deliver the skills on my test that I already knew perfectly and he did just that.
Wow really glad to hear you passed!
Congrats 👏
@@SeptemberBreeze92087 hi ms Tasha, congrats!
What I’m wondering is do you have to do an entrance for each skill like you finish one, and you do another entrance for the other one? Or you do everything at once?
I'm extremely happy I just passed my test 💃💃💃💃.
Grateful to God and a very big thanks to Mr Philip.
Congratulations to you mate.
Im really happy for you.I studied for months and couldn’t pass, I guess passing is a divine blessing.
CNA might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me
I’ve always believed CNA is not all about studying, but you need God’s grace to pass .
@@terrysimpson1531 Yes you’re correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves.try studying, if you can’t study then get yourself a good help.
I recommend these videos to everyone who's trying to become a CNA. I passed this skill with flying colors thanks to your channel... Your amazing teacher and I'm a satisfied student ❤❤ #OnMyWayToBecomeACNA
Thank you so much for this wonderful testimonial! Congratulations on passing the exam! :-)

Congratulations! That is FANTASTIC news @bbyfield01! We are so proud of you! Make sure you join us on our Live CNA Q&A on Thursday at 3pm (ET) for your congratulations shout out! Hope to see you there!
I did this skill step by step when i took my clinical skills exam yesterday in Texas! I got my email this morning and I passed on my first try!! 🎉 i highly recommend watching these videos before your clinical exam ❤ super helpful and helped me with passing
Took the test today and this was one of my skills. I passed the clinical part by watching your videos multiple times and practicing on my roommates. Thank you so much for making this amazing videos and saving us the money to do a course
Congratulations! :-) th-cam.com/video/F2fehqnrqL4/w-d-xo.html
I couldn’t wait to come back and scream thank you Ms. patty I did just like you performed all my assigned skills such as Measuring respiratory rate-making occupied bed-change of position and of course hand washing and successfully passed all of them. Thanks
You had to do three skills plus hand washing correct?
Loved the trick with placing the swab on his stomach. Also find it comical that she seems to ask about a magazine every other video..
Right lol
She is great at it. Thanks a lot may god bless Ms patty
Loved the trick with the swab on stomach
I just wanted to say thank you! Its been 17 years since I was trained and worked as a cna and I passed my exam today thanks to your videos. While waiting to test, I saw other girls watching your videos as well! You’re a blessing.
Amazing job! What a great accomplishment - you deserve to be celebrated! We would love to give you your shout-out! Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for your official congratulations! Like and subscribe to be notified when we go live for future events!
I challenge my test today and I passed thanks to your videos !!!!
Saw this video the week before my CNA exam but I forgot and just stood there watching them breathe 🤦🏽♀️🤣. If only I had studied more lll but I passed and these videos were very helpful!
That’s so funny. LOL I could see me doing that very same thing due to being nervous. 🤣 I’m happy to hear that you passed! 🏆🥇I take the test in a couple hours at 9am. Up reviewing everything. Praying that I pass too. 🙏

Just pass my CNA thank you so much ❤️❤️ you is a life changer ❤️❤️❤️
Patty thank you so much. I was so lost before your videos. I took my test on 01/09/20 and I passed.
Jasmine Rutledge how many skills did you have to perform I’m in New York and was wondering?
Elijah West I got 3 skills ROM to the hip, knee, and ankle. Respiration, and dressing patient with weak arm. I took the test in Florida. The instructors made it very comfortable so it made it a lot easier.
Had my cna exam on thursday.i passed.thanks so much for these skills.
@Reposting Videos it was clear and precise .they give alot of time do to your skills.make sure you wash your hands throughly for the 20
seconds.
@Reposting Videos I had the skills u didn't need to do gloves,
Im so nervous but happy at the same time
Took my exam for the second time today with confidence instead of doubt.. I’ll get my results tomorrow or tonight hopefully..
Thanks patty! I passed my skills test today because of your videos.I passed the written 1 month ago.

great tool for learning about CNA'S
Thank you ! We are glad you are finding our resources helpful! :-)
how do you know you have to stop counting, l mean when are you supposed to stop counting?
YOU are the one who is timing this skill. There will be a clock above the bed that you can use for timing. Pick a starting point and say "Start" out loud. This will tell the evaluator when you start counting, so they will begin counting at the same time. When the second hand returns to the starting point (one minute), say "Stop" so the evaluator knows when you stop counting so they can stop at the same time. This ensures you are starting and stopping at the same time and counting the same respirations. This is the only way they can grade accuracy because breathing patterns may change minute to minute. To evaluate, they have to count the exact same respirations as you do. So, you say start, you say stop, you control the timing. Make sure you count for one full minute though - that is specified in the care plan! Hope this helps!
Count until 1 minute usually 12 to 20 resperations is normal look at the chest count the breaths .
Hi Patty thank you soo much for these videos!! Great help!!! I passed my exam in Florida:)
This was not helpful. How do you count the respiration meaning how to multiply.
You count it as breathing in and out as 1 breath
This video awesome I did good on my exam yesterday thanks to the video
Did u use the alcohol pad pls during ur exam?
@@vivienmel7735 yes I did I asked the evaluator for it
@@basiratgeorge8312 ok thanks I'm gonna ask the evaluator during mine next week
I will take my exam next week on Monday, wish me luck guys. I love your videos btw.
I just took my exam and I recorded 20 for my aspirations do you think it's a pass or fail please let me know 🥺
That's high. I hope you passed!🎉
Thank a lot! Your video very helpful. I passed my Clinical exam yesterday.
How difficult did you find it? I'm currently studying the skills for my rotation and I have so much anxiety!
Excelente video siempre que lo veo yo aprendo mas

Congrats. What skills did they test you on ?
@@shayyoung2179 pretty easy ones side lying and assisting to chair and respiration’s not to bad minor mistakes I was so focused I forgot to ask are you doing ok
Thank you so much. Guys your video very helpful, I love you. God bless you all
Congrats!
Super helpful thank you. I have a really hard time not being conspicuous while counting.
Smart idea to lay somthing on the stomach so you can see the breathing go in and out better
Yes, this is a commonly accepted practice to better visualize the small movements of respirations. Thank you for your comment! If you are finding our videos helpful, please don't forget to like and subscribe! :-)
I'm looking to go to this program because i gotta do some that i would enjoy and the job i have i hate it so the career change will be good for me
I have my cna prometrics test on Thursday, can anyone offer me words of encouragement or words of advice...please and thank you!
This really gonna help me for my exam in two days have one question I think you have to wash your hands before placing the call night right?
Actually, no. The call light is handled by the patient - and patients in bed will scratch what itches...and then use the call light. That call light is not clean. Either is the privacy curtain. Or the bed controls. EVERYTHING in the patient environment can transmit pathogens to your clean hands after you wash them...which you can then transmit to others. So, you must complete your skill, including the closing, BEFORE washing your hands. The only thing you are allowed to touch after washing your hands is the pen and documentation sheet. We cover this in depth in our lesson on The Closing in our FREE online test prep course on courses.4YourCNA.com. It has way more information in an interactive format that is way more helpful that simple skills videos. Check it out! :-)
can you raise the bed during pulse or respirations?
Hi, for this skill i was taught to just to watch the patient inhale and exhale without touching them, will you pass that way?
It's so difficult for me to keep track of time and watch respiration, what can I do?
You should pick a starting point on the clock that is easy to remember (like "12") and say start. You will only glance up every now and then to see where the second hand is, but most of your focus is on the patient's respirations. You do not stare at the clock - just glance occassionally, more frequently as the second hand gets closer to the starting point. With a little practice, it comes natural! Best of luck! :-)
Thank you so much for responding. ..
You are very welcome! Best of luck! :-)
4yourCNA thank you
I get number mixed up easily so I use letters and numbers instead of number and numbers Ex. D= 4breaths
I love me some Mr.Jones ❤
Some of the things done in the video aren’t on the steps for this skill, does that mean I can’t do them during my state test? I think placing an alcohol pad is a great idea but I don’t know if I’ll fail the skill by doing so...
please help!
The checklist is MINIMUM skills competency...that means that it is not meant for learning the skills, only grading the skills. So, some actions may be performed that are not listed on the checklist because they are not GRADED items. But that doesn't mean that you will be marked off if you do those steps, because they aren't graded. Read and follow the care plan, pay attention to safety, infection control and patient rights and you will do great. You might be interested in our online FREE CNA test prep program at courses.4YourCNA.com. It's free, it goes WAY beyond the videos and it provides test-specific information. You can even interact with the instructor and ask questions in our social learning facebook group. Check it out!
Is it a new thing to put an alcohol pad on the person's stomach? Will Prometric really allow that technique ? Thank you for the video!
Yes, you can use this technique. It simply allows you to see the respirations easier!
My instructor is using the same technique and I think it’s important
Your videos were very helpful ty
Finna do this procedure for my exam😄💕
Same 😂
Did you know/were given what you were going to be tested on before you actually went in and tested?
Would you count it as a full breath if someone only inhaled but hadnt released it when the timer stops? Or what if theyre still releasing it while timer stops..would that count as a breath?
I have a question I’m taking my exam can they make do the one I failed I’m talking about the skill. I have one can I do that one again????
Can you document the skill before washing your hands? I have a terrible memory, what if I forget?
can i ask what the alcohol wipe is for?
are you or are you not suppose to wash your hands after touching the pen? or when you documented should you wash your hands one more time before ending your skills?
If you always wash your hands before documenting, you never touch your pen with dirty hands. Therefore, there is no reason to wash your hands again after documenting. You can, if you wish. But you should never document with unclean hands. Best of luck!
I’m currently in class and hoping that I do the sane
how about checking the bed if it's lock for safety? is it not needed in this skill?
Do you know if we can use apple watches during the Florida exam? Or does it have to be a specific type of watch?
smart devices are not allowed from what i read. Hope you did well
What if the patient asks you why are you counting his/her pulse again? Regardless you already done counting his/her pulse
is the care plan in the beginning of the video the same care plan we will be giving on the exam?? Im in NY
I need to know after you done count to 1 minuet how you get the results do U do a multiplication
Jovin stephanie no u don’t
Na.Patty if you get a respiration of 21 per minute is that accurate or I must get from the range of 12-20? Please tell me thank you
Normal range is 12-20. That doesn't mean your patient MUST be in normal range. You count the respirations for one full minute (no matter what number you get). If that number is between 12-20, you simply chart it because it's normal. If you get less than 12 or more than 20, you tell the nurse. But you always count for one minute (not until you get a certain number). Hope this helps.
@@4yourcna what if you take the clinicals exam and take respiration and it’s over 20 respiration? Is that an automatic fail because it’s inaccurate if it has to be in the range from 12-20
@@deborahdavilmar6844 For the EXAM, you count respirations for one full minute and chart your reading. Period. Just count for a whole minute and write it down. It doesn't have to be a certain number or in a certain range of numbers. You count breathing for one full minute - no matter WHAT number you get - and write that down on the documentation form provided. The evaluator is ALSO counting the breathing at the same time you are. They will write down the number they get. If your number matches their number (or is within 2 breaths on either side of their number) you are accurate. For the exam, accuracy is NOT graded by comparing your number to NORMAL values - it is graded by comparing your number to the EVALUATOR'S reading. So, whether the reading you get is within the normal range is totally irrelevant, it's whether the number you get is near the number the evaluator got. So, to demonstrate, during the exam, you count 24 breaths (because the other person playing the patient is nervous because they are there to test too). You write down 24 - the number of breaths you counted - on the form provided. The evaluator counted at the same time and got 22. They wrote that number down. Your reading is within 2 of their reading, so you are accurate. Even though the number is not in the normal range, that doesn't matter. Just count the breathing for one full minute (no matter what number you get) and write it down for the exam. In a clinical setting, if that number is above 20 or under 12, report it to the nurse. It's that simple.
I heard there’s a trick where you can lay your hand on the patients back or shoulder to help count respiration as well. Is that allowed for New York State?
This patient will be lying in bed for this skill, so putting your hand on their shoulder or back would be difficult. Laying your hand on someone's chest (especially a female) may be awkward. Also, the weight of your hand may limit chest rise, so this is not recommended. If you need to use anything, use the alcohol pad that is provided at the testing center. They are cheap, disposable and readily available in the testing center (and clinical settings). Good luck on the exam! Please subscribe to our channel!
@@4yourcna actually in Kentucky they have you do it on someone sitting up, a light hand on their shoulder/back does help but I still didn't get it right I don't think I counted right
Do I need to tell my name every time when I enter to the same patient room.
You have the QUESTION OF THE DAY! Watch my response here: th-cam.com/video/iQYeiBElPww/w-d-xo.html :-) Great question!
I am texting this test tomorrow, I have anxiety when I’m testing,please pray for me 😢😢
We wish you the best of luck on your exam! Let us know how you do - we will send good vibes your way and would LOVE to congratulate you when you pass. Like and subscribe to our channel on TH-cam to be notified when we go live!
With NNAAP, I have to state that I will count his respirations?
Every state is different, but when you tell someone you are counting their respirations, they will subconsciously change their breathing patterns (speed up or slow down), which means you will not get an accurate reading. Telling the patient that you will check their vital signs is preferred, so that you obtain a valid reading. For states that test through Prometric, this is a graded checkpoint - that you do NOT tell a patient that you are counting their respirations. Hope this helps!
Are we allowed to put our hand on the residents chest or stomach for prometric? Anyone know?
You have the question of the day! See the response here th-cam.com/video/ZVKnKEVSkI8/w-d-xo.html
Can we use our timer on our phone for this skill? How are we supposed to know when 1 minute is up?
No, for the exam you are not allowed to have any electronics in the testing room (including phones). A clock with a second hands will be above the bed during the skill for you to use for timing purposes (as in this demonstration). Pick a starting point on the clock, say "Start" out loud and count the patient's respirations until the clock reaches that starting point again and say "Stop" out loud. Make sure the second hand goes ALL the way around to the starting point. Hope this helps!
would it be a problem if i dont use the alcohol pad on the test? would they fail me
Using an alcohol pad is not required. You don't have to use one...it's just a helpful tip to those learning because it makes the respirations easier to see. It can be used on the exam to make the skill easier. Thank you for your comment!
just wondering why would this info be helpful? thanks
Why do you offer them a magazine? Is this really necessary?
For the exam, you must address comfort needs (both physical and emotional). Offering a magazine is simply one way of addressing comfort needs, but you must SOMEHOW address this. Hope this helps! :-) If you are enjoying these presentations, please don't forget to subscribe and give us a thumbs up!
thank you so much! I took my exam four days ago and passed! I appreciate your help with the videos
Congratulations! We love to hear success stories! Best of luck in your new career! :-)
Thanks ♥
i got 10 so was that good?
How was it 12?
In New York you can’t do that at all and have to glance at the clock
You cannot stare at the clock and count respirations. You cannot stare only at the chest and time the skill properly. Whether you use a watch or a clock, the procedure is the same. You will pick a starting point and say "Start" out loud, turn your attention to the patient to count the respirations, and glance occasionally back at the timing device (watch or clock) to determine when the minute is over and say "Stop". For Prometric testing centers (which includes New York), you are not able to use electronic devices (such as stopwatches or cell phones) to time the skill - it must be done on an actual analog timekeeping device with a second hand. Hope this helps!
How many resps per minute is normal
Normal values for respirations are 12-20. Our FREE online CNA Test Prep course has a lesson on Normal and abnormal values with flashcards! Check it out at courses.4YourCNA.com!

Disturbingly, I keep counting 10. How much am I allowed to be off?
I count 3 by the first 15 seconds. Is that where the problem is. Because it looks like a couple might be subtle here.
Please remember that this is a demonstration and not all respirations will be visible due to changing camera angles. Please practice this on a live person, counting for 1 full minute. You are allowed to be off by 2 breaths in either direction from the evaluator's readings to be considered accurate. Thank you.
it is good to to make measuring both Respiration and Hart Rate
Great question! Be sure to follow your care plan. It will inform you how long to measure both.
How come your patient never smiles lol
Danceswithveils Lily right he’s so serious lol smile for the camera 😂😂😂
She have wash hand again before she lives room , she touch pen, border documents and she say skill down NO big NO. Yes can say my skill is down I wash my hand again. And all her skill she call hi mister John I’m your CNA she have to read wrist he’s name double check.
what if I do this in california? The Red Cross folks said to do our skills like in the Red Cross Packet...this isnt in our RCPacket. will I fail if I do it like this? with the alcohol pad?
The alcohol pad is simply an aid to help you visualize the respirations easier. It is not required but helpful when you are learning. You can use it if you wish. Best of luck!
