Oh and I passed!
Congratulations! We are very happy that you found our videos helpful and we wish you the very best of luck in your new career! :-)
@STAR W they test 5 skills in 30 minutes but you have the multiple choice test for 2 hours before the skills test
Amen 🙏🏽
I'm taking mine on Monday so nervous n scared
Hi guys, just wanted to let you know I took my CNA test after watching these videos and I passed. These videos are lovely as a teaching guide and a review before taking the exam. However, the other person I took my test with told me she failed because she didn't wash her hands after taking off her gloves. I don't know how other states test, but during the CNA exam in Florida, always make sure you wash your hands as soon as you take off your gloves, no matter what skill you are performing.
Good luck to everyone and thank you so much Patti for posting these videos!
When exactly? She takes off her gloves twice during this skill. If you are talking about at the end of the video, she just simulated washing her hands so its assumed she did after the skill was completed. Does she have to wash them also at 2:43 before lowering the bed also? Please let me know. I'm taking it in Florida in a few days
As
Max Pill did you found out?
@@maxp6521 When she took off her gloves after placing the bedpan underneath she doesn’t wash her hands before raising head of bed. In the steps of skills it says Wash Hands.
Hey I have a question?
Tip for the handwashing folks: if you're in doubt, say you would wash your hands anyways! You could never fail for washing your hands when you aren't supposed to, but you will fail if you don't wash them when you are. Better to be safe than sorry
That’s what I’m planning to do, on this skill I’ll wash my hands 5 times
Thxs I will definitely do so!
That’s very helpful! Thank you
That's very true
Il wash my hands even after the procedure is finished lmao

Thank you very much for your Skills practice videos. I did not get the chance to learn all the Skills in class or Clinic due to Covid-19 restrictions. Luckily, your videos saved my life. I passed both my Exams last Friday and I am now officially Licensed CNA. I just wanted to say Thank you, God Bless you!!!!
How do you like it?
Great video but when you leave the bed side and the bed is elevated don’t forget to elevate the side rail for patient safety until the bed is lowered to the lowest position!
I passed my FL CNA exam because of you guys and saved so much money!!! I had ROM, respirations and weak arm dressing but it was def randomized 😝Thank you so so soooo much ♥️ it means so much to me! You guys are amazing!!!

@@4yourcna this is a little different then what we learn in school do you think this is okay to use for prometric
I take my cna test on Tuesday in Florida how many skills did you get
@@essynceamari hey did you ever figure out how many skills they gave you? I looked it up and it said 3
THANK YOU! I watched all your videos the week before my CNA exam and passed it I'm officially licensed!!Your videos helped me review big timeee
Take my test tomorrow fingers cross🤞🏾 i pass first time! These videos are very helpful and I’ve been practicing them for about two weeks every day🙏🏾🙌🏾 Thanks patty🥰
Did you pass?
Did you pass ?
Amazing video, I love how the notes flash at the top, telling you what to do step-by-step. I have to take a CNA course at a state college before my LVN program and this is very helpful! Thank you.
Thank you for your comment! The puzzle pieces are a great way to learn the skill! Be sure to watch our animated lessons for better comprehension ua-cam.com/play/PLGPm_NQiQEFQY-Wh2rpIw7a6AUtAiaws9.html. Best of luck in your nursing training! :-)
Thanks to your videos I successfully passed my state exam today! So thank you for being so forthcoming with the skills required to know for the exam, I had feeding, ROM of the elbow and wrist, and to finish it off I had assist with a bedpan, and it's because of your videos that I passed today, so thank you!
Congratulations! We are very proud of you and wish you great success in your new career! :-)
I prefer the way you teach this skill. In WA we were taught differently and do not place a chucks prior to placing the bedpan and we cover the bedpan with a hand towel after removing it before emptying and rinsing it. This way is cleaner and more effecient as the chucks provides the cover for the bedpan! I appreciate the additional learning from your videos. Love that I can pause or rewatch and review them. With sincere thanks.
Thank you! We are happy you are finding our videos helpful! Best of luck!
Thank you so much. Your videos helped me a lot, I passed my CNA state exam❤
Great job, congratulations! We are super proud of you! Tune in to our Live Q&A Session on Thursday at 3pm (ET) for your congratulations shoutout!

Thank you so much for this wonderful testimonial! Congratulations on passing the exam! :-)
Thank you for all those videos. I took my skills test two days ago and I passed. These are very helpful videos.
Congratulations, which states you took the exam

We are very happy you found our videos helpful and hope you were successful!
I was successful. :]
I took the nc state exam sorry to reply so late.
Congratulations! Best of luck in your new career!
Thank you so much for these videos! I watched them so many times, and finally today I took my exams and passed both. Couldn't have done it without watching these!

Its so different in Colorado...our class from last semester failed because they used barriers...I personally don't know the whole story but I finished my clinical's last week...and am freaking out! I really hope I pass my state exam....
It doesn't make sense not to use a chucks when assisting with a bedpan because you will have sloshing when moving the head of the bed up and down. I think there was probably more to the story than you were told. You will receive a print out after you perform your skills test that details what critical steps you missed - this will provide information you can use to improve your performance in the future. Best of luck!
I have my state exam on Monday, here in NYC. Wish me luck. Thank you for these great videos
I watch them everyday
Thank you so much I passed my skills test today , thanks to your videos ....
Congratulations! That is awesome and we are very proud of you! Best of luck in your new career! :-)
Honestly, it varies between states. In NC there are 4-5 glove changes. You gather the supplies while wearing gloves and when you come back to the room you change gloves. You need a towel or something to lay the bedpan on while you change gloves. They will also fail you if you place the bedpan on the table. This is one of the skills that i struggle with the most because of so many glove changes. The skill itself is not so bad, it is just remembering when to do what.
The bedpan is not placed on the overbed table, that is correct, because it is an eating surface. However, you do not need to lay the bedpan anywhere. Leave it in the bedside cabinet until you are ready to place it under the patient, after placing the chucks under the patient. 4-5 glove changes is a bit excessive, and the evaluator may limit your glove use as this is not a nursing principle and an unnecessary expense for the testing center. Two sets of gloves is adequate, one set while placing the bedpan and one set while removing it. Hope this helps!
She did not change or discard her soiled gloves which had been holding the soiled bedpan before turning on the water on the sink. There is no way this is acceptable for any testing.
@@tonyahollowell7609 well for prometric it is, takes a quick google search.
This lady is textbook. Like just her vibe radiates comfort, u can tell shes a mother and used to taking care of ppl

I have always been told to wash hands after taking gloves off.
You do not have to physically go to the sink and wash your hands the second you take them off. You are permitted to do your closing first. The privacy curtain, the call light, etc. are not clean (patients, staff, visitors all touch them), so you MUST wash your hands before you leave the patient environment. This is a specific requirement. You can remove your gloves, wash your hands and do the closing, but then you would need to wash your hands again before leaving the room to meet testing standards. It's not necessary and not a graded checkpoint. Hope this helps!
Gloving and de-gloving are always two steps: hand washing (or hand sanitizing) immediately before applying (even if you washed when you entered room) and immediately after removing gloves, before touching anything else. **Even if not required by the state, it absolutely best practice.**
Yup, you're correct!
@@staceyhoey7260 I totally agree with you. This lady use her barehand received patient’s dirty wipes without gloves. Seriously?
Thank u Ms.Patty, I passed my Board a few weeks ago🎉
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey into healthcare! We are so proud of you! We would love to congratulate you! Like and subscribe to be notified when we go live!
Bedpan was rinsed with water only? Not washed with soap and water?
I noticed a barrier wasnt used for the table in this video. I am confused about that . I thought you need to use a barrier on the table, if you will be putting something on it ? Thank you.
I noticed the turning siderail is up. Will we need to make sure that only one side is up for exam? And will we need to make sure it goes down after?
The privacy blanket,you were not wearing gloves when removing it. Is the blanket counted as dirty linen? And are you supposed to wear gloves when removing it?
You do not want to touch the sheet that will go right up next to their face with dirty gloves. You will wash your hands after removing the privacy blanket and performing the closing, but you cannot touch the sheet with those soiled gloves. Hope this helps!
🥀 pMaria lace
I need to ask that after removing our gloves do we have to wash hands in this skill and then again when will enter to empty bad pan after doing the HOB at lower position will we wash hands and wear gloves?
I made a video on "Removing gloves." This should help cover all of your questions! ua-cam.com/video/AjwfVT4fsH4/v-deo.html
Aren't you suppose to wash your hands as soon as you enter BEFORE you touch ANYTHING in the patients room?
No. You wash your hands at the beginning of the skill to prevent the spread of germs from you to the patient and you wash your hands at the end of every skill to prevent the spread of germs from the patient to you. Please visit 4yourcna.com/index.php/2017/07/31/when-do-you-wash-your-hands/ for a complete answer to your question. Thank you for your question!
In Ohio I was taught to hand sanitize before and wash after
The only problem with these training videos (and training videos in general) is that the patients are able-bodied and cooperative. How am I supposed to place a bedpan if the patient can't or won't lift their hips?
You turn them to their side.
Incontinence briefs
Hi thank you for your videos! I passed both my written and clinical test today!!! I didn't go to any training school. Just studied from your videos. Only problem is that my evaluator would not allow me to ask the patient to adjust their bedpan while I moved the head of the bed and she would not allow me to ask them if the bedpan felt comfortable. Other than that I did well!
That's strange. Thanks for the heads up!
Do you have to wash your hands after you take your gloves off? Some teachers are saying to wash hands three total times when changing a bedpan
For the exam, you only have one patient and you are not leaving the room. You are not required to wash your hands while waiting for the "patient" to finish toileting for the exam, since you are still in the room. However, in a clinical setting, you would not be standing there waiting. Because you would be leaving the room, you would need to wash your hands before exiting and then wash them again when you return to the room before putting gloves on (since you are ALWAYS required to wash your hands before and after patient contact). So, for the exam, not required but in a clinical setting required. Hope this helps!
YES you do
@@4yourcna after touching the side rails/before touching the patient is an infection control requirement in BC. Wondering why it wouldn't be everywhere.
Hi Patty, is it mandatory to have a paper towel in the hand that you use to open the drawer. I know that you must have it in the hand that is holding the bedpan for return to the storage unit.
Since you have not washed your hands, they are not considered clean. You don't want to touch the outside of the drawer with a dirty hand (or, in this case, glove) because that drawer will be touched by clean hands later for other skills. The drawer front should never be touched with dirty hands/gloves - this is an infection control principle. It helps keep the patient's environment clean! Hope this helps!
I have one question I thought we’re not supposed to dry bedpan but instead but it dirty utilities after we rinse it 🤔
Great job! What about the patients who have hip fractures or can't lift?
Care plans would indicate the proper performance of each skill for every specific patient. So, if you had a patient unable to lift their hips, their care plan would instruct you to roll that patient to the side to place the bedpan and remove it. Always follow the Care Plan for each patient! Best of luck!
Hello how about the rail bed she didn't put it down !! And bed should be up for body mechanics!
The top rails are not restricting rails and do not prevent the patient from getting out of bed (they are actually called positioning rails) and it is perfectly okay to leave them up during the skill (they are not a restraint, only the lower rails are). The bed does not have to be raised for any Prometric skill. Watch this video for more information regarding bed position: ua-cam.com/video/ljQb9PnSQIg/v-deo.html Thank you for your comment!
I have a question, since you used a napkin to open the draw to put bedpan away. Shouldn't you have used it in the beginning to open it as well? or would gloves be needed? Im wondering if it didn't matter because you washed hands
I passed my skills and I have to do my written test over any suggestions for oklahoma written test
I take my tests tomorrow and I’m pretty nervous.. for my class I was shown to raise the bed for skills you might bend over for.. should I skip this step because I’m leaving the patient alone in the room or just lower them with them on the bed pan and raise it when I come back in
Im confused 😢 you didn’t raise and lower after procedure 😢
Jw why no disinfectant spray in the bed pan? I know I've seen you use it in other videos, maybe those were outdated?
Why you didn’t use a paper to open the forced when you clean the basin ?
My skill now has me washing my hands 3 times. I think you were supposed to wash when you came back to get the pan before you put gloves back on
Idk if I missed it but aren’t you supposed to offer the patient a wipe for their hands?
She did time 4:58 of the video
Bell Gomez oh okay I see now thanks
For the test do you need to step out the room and come back ?
Can you do one video with a person that cannot lift themselves up onto the bedpan thank you!
Thank you for your suggestion! We will consider this in the future! :-)
Thank you for this video! Where would you dispose of the used tissue?
There will be a trash can near the bed, you can dispose of it there! Join us for our Live Q&A session here on our UA-cam channel Thursdays (today!) at 3pm Eastern. Hope to see you there!
This is the only skill I had problems with on the state test. The evaluators told me that my patient couldn't adjust the bed pan himself while I was adjusting the bed.after I left him to use it and wipe they checked to see if the pan was in the correct posistion. I wasn't sure what to do
Yes, the evaluators will check to see if the bedpan is in the proper position, under the patient's buttocks. The patient can make small adjustments as the head of the bed is raised, but proper positioning must be done by the CNA, with the widest part of the bedpan (the part that looks like a toilet seat) under the patient's buttocks. Thank you for your comment!
Is it still recommend in Miami (the state of Florida) to check the wrist for identification for any skill as of 2017 when taking the exam?
Prometric testing in Florida will not have ID bands to check during the exam. You will identify your patient by name prior to beginning the skill. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
Are you taking the Exam soon in Miami?
Yes I am. I'm just waiting for a date to be assigned to me.
+Iesha J Sorry I missed this question! For the exam, the patient can self identify (think of yourself in the doctor's office - if they call you by the wrong name, you would immediately correct them) so you will simply say their name when introducing yourself. No ID bands will be used during the test. Best of luck!
These videos helped me a lot ! I passed my exam with these videos thank you !
Congratulations! We are super proud of you! Tune in to our Live Q&A Session on Thursday at 3pm (ET) for your congratulations shoutout! :-)
So the bedpan only gets dumped, rinsed once, wiped with paper towels and put right back into the drawer and then the drawer gets closed with the paper towels that just wiped out the unsanitized bedpan?? Is this right?
Thanks CNA I learned a lot from you.. God bless 🙏 you
My pleasure!
Taking my test tomorrow, please wish me luck!
MISS B how was it ?
Kayleigh Brandow i passed!!!! ❤️
Actually pretty easy.
Does prometric require us to use a privet blanket on this skill?
Hi, I live in Wisconsin and will be taking my test soon. I was taught to raise the bed for proper body mechanics and to raise the bed rail if I'm not on that side. I noticed you don't do that in this video or your other instructional videos. Is there a reason why? and if I do raise the bed/rails at my Exam can I touch the up/down arrow button and the rails with my gloves? Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
That's a lot of questions at once! I'll try to answer them all... 1) you are not REQUIRED to raise the bed, but you can if you want (see the video on raising the bed here: ua-cam.com/video/ljQb9PnSQIg/v-deo.html ) 2) You are not graded on siderail use during the exam because you need a doctor's order to use siderails (they are a restraint). 3) You should not touch anything but the patient with your gloves - would you want dirty gloves in your mouth for mouth care or around your private areas for bedpan? Keep your gloves clean for the patient. You can learn more about gloves here: ua-cam.com/video/AQa9RYK1BI4/v-deo.html. You might find our online CNA Test Prep program helpful. It is located on courses.4YourCNA.com. This is a totally FREE course and it covers all of these principles and MORE. It was created especially for students that are getting ready to test. Check it out!
If you failed your first cna skills test, do they test you on the same skills the second time around?
Thank you, great videos, my Florida state exam next Friday, I wonder if I have to wash my hands after removing the gloves first time?
yes before and after
You will wash your hands at the beginning of every skill (before touching the patient) and at the end of every skill (before leaving the patient's environment). You may also wash your hands immediately after removing gloves, but as long as you wash before leaving the room, it is acceptable for the exam. Hope this helps!
thanks for your video, benefit for me. I have a question for you guys. after you remove the bedpan, you are not supposed to do the perineal care?
The care plan states that the patient can wipe themselves, so peri care is not required for the CNA to perform on this patient. Of course, every patient is different and will require a different level of care,. based on their specific abilities. Always follow the care plan, because they are individualized for each patient. But for the exam, the "patient" will not need peri care. Thank you for your question and best of luck!
Do you need raise the bed to working level , then leave bed in lowest position when you give patient the bedpan and leave to give them privacy ?
is privacy blanket required or with the blanket in them itself is fine ?
You do everything well . Thank you so much
don't you have to spray out the bedpan with disinfectant after you empty it and rinse it out in the toilet?
No, for the exam, there is no disinfectant available. You can wash it out with soap and water if you wish, but this isn't a graded checkpoint on the exam. For the exam, they are simulating liquid waste, not solid, so rinsing with water is considered appropriate. This bedpan is only used by that one patient, so disinfection is not required. Hope this helps! Best of luck on your exam! :-)
She left the side rail down on the right side when she walked away to get the bed pan... my instructors fail for that!
Otherwise, very explanatory and helpful :)
Side rails are not graded during the exam. In most cases, the testing center does not even have side rails on the beds. You are responsible for knowing how to perform care safely without the use of side rails (because they are considered a restraint and not present in most settings). Side rails may not be used without a doctor's order. Thank you for your question!
They are graded in skills test.
What state are you in? For Prometric Testing states, they are not required. Please see the Clinical Skills Checklist on Prometric's website for your state for specific information on side rails. Thank you for your comment!
4yourCNA CA. And side rails are a part of the skills test/opening and closing procedures.
If you are in a Prometric testing state, siderails are NOT part of the opening and closing procedures. In fact, you will be told that siderail usage is not graded at all during the exam and you must perform the skill safely without regard for siderails. Other states may grade on siderails, but Prometric states do not. These videos are produced for Prometric grading standards. Best of luck!
Do you wash your hands when you come back in to empty the bedpan
Even if we put a chux over the bed table, are we allowed to put the bed pan on top
Of the table? Or a bed pan is not allowed at all?
Hi I will be taking my exam for Connecticut soon. I have been practicing a lot for the exam, the written part that is. The skills not too much, my question to you is can I pass by just watching the videos?
Performing the skills is the best way of preparing for the state exam. It's like driving...watching someone else drive may give you a vague idea of how to drive (2 pedals, a steering wheel, turn signals) but would you try to take a driving test without ever practicing behind the wheel? Watching will help, but to be truly prepared, you must also perform! Best of luck!
so we don't ask them to roll to side to position bed pan under butt?? we can ask them to lift?
I watched your videos and took my state exam in Texas they were helpful but I failed😒. I forgot to lower bed and call light on one of my steps.
