Ms Julie I cannot express my joy today.Having attempted this test twice and failed,I came across your channel in the month of August,the confidence I gained as I watched you perform the skills and as I internally practiced is out of this world.I passed with flying colors.May God bless you and expound your boundaries. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for making these videos! Because of you, I passed my challenge exams today because my license expired back in 2012. I didn't take a refresher course, just watched your videos and purchased your grid and manual supply list sheets from etsy yesterday. My little girls were my residents and the oldest check marked through the grid skills sheet. My skills were washing hands, measure and record urinary output, positions on side, provide mouth care and applying one knee high elastic stocking. I was so nervous this morning and so relieved when I got my scores. Thank you, Julie!
Miss Julie. Thank you so so much for this video . This is one of my skills test today and I passed. The second one was repositioning on side of bed. I learned a-lot from your videos. God bless Miss Julie.
@@lydiannafelix1480 I took this test quite a while ago, so check with your local testing center to see if you might have this skill. Focusing on all of the skills is important for passing the exam. Good luck!
You did a super job. A few things that I do differently. I pour water on the toothbrush while holding the toothbrush over the emesis basin. I do not dip the toothbrush into the water the patient will be drinking from. Also, I hold the basin with one hand and the towel with the other so that I can wipe her mouth promptly. Thanks for sharing
Even though this video was a year ago I pass my skill test today I made sure to smash the critical parts but I know I made some mistakes they still passed me thanks for the video
Hey Nurse JAR. Your videos are so amazing and they help me a whole lot. I'm in nursing assistant program now and your videos help me to do my skills check offs I have to demonstrate for my instructors. Keep doing what you are doing because you are really making a difference and I feel more confident now that I can go pass state . Thank you for all you do. Go Nurse JAR!!!!!!💙
Hi Ms. Julie , today is my State Exam and I will use all the skills that I’ve learned from you. Thank you so much. Wish me luck. Today is August 25, 2021. My Exam starts at 11 am. Once again thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. This is Betty from California
@@NURSEJAR. Hi, this is Betty again. With your awesome videos, I passed my CNA state exam!!! Thank you so much for your inspirational advice and your encouraging personality.
I just want to say THANK YOU to you, Mrs. Julie! I think your videos and performances are amazing and really helpful and I think everybody who applies to take the CNA exam must watch them. This is Krasi from California and today is September 1st, 2021. I have my State Exam on September 3rd. I am a little bit nervous because English is not my first language, and I need to speak and explain everything during the test. If I forget to explain something but already perform it , will I get credit for that step or no? Thank you, Mrs. Julie!
Hello, this is my first time to see your video and I just want to let you know that your amazing for explaining everything and give us a good pointers. My State test exam is next month, I just want to ask do we need to wash our hands first before we gather all the things we need to do the procedures or we can wash our hands later on after we gather all the stuff ? I'm just little confused what do first. Thank you
Hai Julie! I like your vdo! I’m practicing, and my Exam is on Monday 17 June, so my question is, do we have to head down the bed after finishing the skill ? Im Confused! Please help me, and im sorry 😐, I click before i finish my coment, I apologize ♥️
Hi, Smrita! No problem!!! For this skill, it does not matter if you leave the HOB raised or lower it once you complete the skill. Good Luck on your exam!
Hi Julie, do you need to bring down the bed to supine position after disposing our supplies? Or just leave the resident in that position to complete the skill.
Don't you wash your hands before beginning to brush the clients teeth? This is where I get confused. I am under the understanding that you wash your hands before any procedure begins even if the book does not state it. There are 23 steps; can you tell us which require hand washing before beginning in the opening steps?
Hi, Ann! If you are testing under Pearson Vue, the only time you will need to wash your hands with actual running water and soap is during the skill "Hand Hygiene", which will always be the first skill you perform. Any time after that, whenever the skill requires you to "wash hands", you need only verbalize doing so. Watching my video, "When Do I Wash My Hands?", may give you a better understanding.
Hi, Ann! No. You do not always have to open the privacy curtain/screen or door. During testing, maintaining the person's privacy is okay and lessens the risk of you forgetting to do so.
@@NURSEJAR how do I purchase some of the list I see ppl speak of and I think you said there was one for what supplies are needed for each skill . Ty luv your videos here in Maryland , testing with credentia next week
Hi, Grace! You can either leave them sitting upright or lower the HOB. How you choose to leave the client should be dependent on what skill you will be required to perform next.
hello miss julie i was just wondering if it was okay for a second emesis basin to be used as a designated area for the toothbrush rather than a washcloth?
Hi, Thea! You could, but I highly recommend not using the nemesis basin as your clean barrier for the toothbrush for placing on the table. One, even though you'll already have to collect/gather an nemesis basin to perform this skill, you'll end up having to perform an extra step by placing the second nemesis basin you collect in the designated dirty area if the NAE instructs you to leave the supplies at the sink. Second, it's easier to grab a washcloth then another bulky supply. You have to think about what is most convenient and time-saving.
@@NURSEJAR Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I got really lucky to find your videos they're extremely informative and you happen to be based in Texas too so that's a bonus. I also have a couple of other questions if you don't mind, I'm sorry to ask so many but my exam is this weekend.. during the skill of repositioning the resident I noticed that in the mock exam that one of your students rolled the sheet all the way to the bottom of the bed for the entirety of the skill? Is that allowed? Also when turning the client to the side to put the linen protector beneath them will you be penalized if the side rail isn't up? (in any skill other than repositioning the client I mean) And my last question is if it's essential for the linen protector to be beneath the client during assistance with the bedpan, that's how I was taught at my cna school but it doesn't seem like it's required or even mentioned in the handbook. Again, I apologize for asking so many questions and thank you so much for your time.
@@cookielover432 Thea Fradejas Thea Fradejas Hi! I don't mind questions at all! Let's see if I can answer these for you! 1. Positioning: It's okay to lower the sheets while placing pillows. Just remember to cover the patient before stating "skill complete". 2. Siderails: Whenever turning the patient away from you, you must always raise the sidewalk on the side that you'll be turning the patient. In the skill, "Positions on Side", the step specifically states to do so. In other skills, like, "Performs Peri-Care for Female", it does not. However, you have to keep in mind "SAFETY", one of the 5 Indirect Care Skills. If you do not raise the side rail before turning the patient to place the linen protector, you will get flagged for safety. To avoid this from occurring, you may always raise the mannequins hips to place the linen protector. 3. Bedpan: Placement of a linen protector is not required for this skill. You'll just be wasting precious time by performing this additional, unneccessary step. Hope I answered all your questions. Let me know how you do on your exam.
Hi again miss Julie, I just wanted to let you know that I passed my exam!!!! Id just like to thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and for all of your amazing informative videos!!
Hi Julie! I tried contacting my testing site but didn't hear back. Is mouth care still not being tested in a lot of states because of covid? I am in Minnesota under Pearson testing on Thursday.
Hi! Oh, yes! In real life, you want to promote the person's independence as much as possible, and allow the person to do as much as he/she can within his/her functional limits.
@@NURSEJAR by rules I really mean the steps. Are the steps the same. To each states? For instance if i earn my certification in florida and i move to texas does the same rules apply? Or would i need to retake the test and earm certification on texas
@@hornman3704 Hi! Thanks for clarifying. I actually uploaded a video explaining reciprocity in debt. Check it out when you have time. The video is titled "Reciprocity ". But, to answer your question, it all depends if your current state of residence is a compact state and whether or not that state has a reciprocity agreement with the state you are going to move to. My video explains it more in depth, siting the compact states. Hope this answered your question!
Hi, Tanesha! Pay scales are dependent on where you live and what type of agency/ facility you work at. On average, starting pay for CNAs can range anywhere from $9 - $14/hour. Higher paying CNA jobs you'll find with nursing agencies and hospitals.
I make $25-$35/hr as a server in AZ. Contemplating a change but can't commit to years of studying. The more Nurse Jar videos I watch, the more convinced that the health field may not be for me. It is indeed hard work, I don't think I could do it for such low pay. My respects to you gals/gents. Btw, this lady is a great teacher.
Hallo I did my exams on Saturday of 16th June was told my results will be out after 24 hrs but upto now I have not gotten my results yet.i don't know if I fail or not.so stressed up.
Hi, Virginia! Please, Don't stress. It may take anywhere from 24 - 72 hours after testing to have results posted on the NAR. You can always check online through your state's NAR ( Nurse Aide Registry).

Love your videos you was on point
Why you don't put the bed to the flat position after finishing the skill?
Can i watch this video for 2023 Pearson Vue?
Hi Julie, do you need to bring down the bed to supine position after disposing our supplies? Or just leave the resident in that position to complete the skill.
Hi! Ask the resident if they'd like to stay as is or if they'd rather have the HOB lowered. Patient preference.
Do we still have to learn this skill for the test or did covid change this?
Hello Ms.Julie what temperature should the water be to brush the pt teeth?
Thank you! 🖤
@nurse jar do you keep your head of bed raise at the end of skill instead of lowering it
Hi ' i will start CNA class next month every day i watch your video i need help to pass exams
