Try visiting www.pearsonvue.com. When you visit the site you want to choose your state nurse aide information from the  list. Even if your state isn't on the list, I think you will the information is pretty much the same across the board. I looked at different states' handbooks and they all had pretty much the same information.  The handbook will help you in that it gives you a list of all the possible clinical procedures they can ask you to perform as well as a step by step list of how to complete these procedures. I hope this information is of some value to you and good luck!!! There's also a practice exam on there as well!!

Hello, My best wishes for you as you try to wing the florida state CNA test!! LOL I hope you do well. It sounds like you have a few friends and family that are willing to help you out. Thats awsome!

Ok, well first thing i wana do is anwser your question. Hand washing is a skill that when i tested you only did once at the bigging of your skills evaluation. They watch you perform this skill once. HOWEVER you MUST!!! verbalize at what point during every other skill that you perform, when you would wash your hands to the evaluator!! Dont be afraid to talk out loud throuout the whole skill. Things like this: "ok, im going to knock on the door, then provide privacy and wash my hands." Then you can say somthing like " hi mrs. gurtrude, my name is tonya. Im your nursing assistant this evening and i came to help you wash your buttox or bottom area".  It made me feel better to gesture with my hands and body as i verbilized. If your judging was like mine they wont make you actually knock or wash. But you can still put your hand up and knock in mid air or rub your hands togeather as if you where actually washing them as you verbilize each step to the evaluator. Gathering your supplies, door knocking, door closing, curtain pulling are all apart of what we call your your standard pre andsteps. then your post steps are to put all linnens in a bag in side of room, each one as you are finnished with them. When you are done with resident/ patent care, take off your gloves (and what do we do every time you take off a pair of gloves??? make the pt. safe before you leave the bedside i.e. put up side rails, call signal within pts. reach and then verbalize that you would wash your hands!!- very important every time). Then Its always a good idea to ssk the resident if there is anything else you can do before you leave. this could save you several trips back to that room laterr on and the evaluators will think its cute i.e. offer a drink of ice water tv channel change e.t.c. Then lower pts. bed all the way down to the floor, doubble check to make sure that call signal is within the residents reach, grab your bags un-do the privacy, open door and if you havent done so wash your hands (also do every time you leave a room). And then Finally exit the room.

Also there areCNA skills on U- tube!!!! Just type in CNA and watch skills, teaching lessons, lectures and photos of how to do correct skill procedures. I think that would help you out alot to! GOOOD LUUUCK!!!
