Awesome teacher. I took my test this passed weekend and passed just by looking at your videos. No classes. I was already CERTIFIED but it was expired so retest passed after 19 years just by viewing your videos. You are awesome. THANK YOU
I really appreciate your videos teaching and the techniques. It's awesome indeed. Ride on and keep it up for it's very helpful to us . Thanks a lot and remain blessed.
Took my certification yesterday and passed!!!! I had already passed the written and had to retake the skills. Watching your videos helped me so much!! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had my exam last September 27, and I passed in both ( writing and skills). I watched all these videos so many times. It helped me a lot. Thank you so much Mrs.Julie. You’re awesome 👏
I just watched your a video on how to pass the skills exam on the first try. You are completely thorough! My class never taught me the essential skills due to covid and put me right on the floor. Of course I failed the skills part. Your videos are AMAZING. HUGE help. Taking my skills again in three weeks! Confident now. Thanks again
Your are honestly an angel send from above thanks to you I passed my skills and I also passed my written . Man but my head hurts from all the studying . Me and a classmate would always watch your videos you’re the best ! 💛
I want to thank you for all this video, I passed both of my state test (written & skills) On 10/09/2021 In Pennsylvania. Thanks for your help and these amazing videos!!! :D God Bless You
Hi Nurse Julie! I passed both my skills and written today and it’s all thanks to you! I watched your videos for a month straight and was always sure to practice! Thank you again! ❤😊
Nurse jar, I thought this was a body double. Truly I've learned so much and the"Love" you possess I can't imagine how but I sense it from you. Only rebels are not afraid to drive off into the sunset. With those boots I'm a believer. Lol
I passed I passed I passed....have been stressing over this since pre covid. Everything that could have gone wrong seemed to and I even ran out of time. The BP cuff blew up, I was so nervous I couldn't write the BP. There was another group of students testing at the same time and we kept running into each other. I even forgot my finger nails but was able to correct that. Supplies were a ways away. The bed wouldn't work right and the list goes on.....thank you so much. Here from WA
Thanks Julie, sat for my CNA Exams on the 3rd and 6th of May 2021 respectively and Passed both Skills and CBT Tests. Watched all your Skills videos severally and it helped me a lot. Once again, thank you. Keep up the great job.
Hi Mrs. Julie. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos. I took the class in 2012. I never took the state exam because I went on to be a medical assistant. I decided to go back for my RN and needed to take the state exam. Last year they gave us a waiver because of COVID and has to have it done by Sept 1st of this year to be able to enter my second year of nursing school. I was reading the skills book and since it had been almost 10 years since I took the course I had forgotten a lot of the steps. I found your channel Saturday, August 21st. I went through every single one of your videos Saturday evening, all day Sunday, all day Monday and this morning (Tuesday) before my skills test. Thanks to your awesome teaching, great and helpful tips as well as your videos I just signed on and found out I passed my skills test!! Written and skills test complete and passed!! I had hang hygiene (obviously), five modified bed bath, dress client with weakened right arm, measure urinary output and don and doff PPE (gown and gloves). Your tips on how to put on the new gown for bed bath, having the patient hold the sheet with their chin and putting the button up shirt on the right side so I didn’t accidentally do the wrong side, putting the gown sleeves over half my palms for getting the gloves over the sleeves and stepping away from the sink when rinsing the bed pan and container were all perfection! I tested in Washington State who follows Pearson Vue. Thank you again!! So so much! Also, thank you greatly for doing 2 mock skills testing videos. It helped a lot and answered soooo much questions I had. ❤️❤️
that’s exactly how I’m studying! I’ve been studying since Friday, Saturday Sunday and today! tomorrow is my test (Tuesday)! Hopefully I pass I thought it wasn’t enough time for me study but now I have some hope!
According to our AMRC training you can not wiggle fingers, you must use paper towel to turn on and off water, and you must soap hands in a specific order: soap, lather circular motion once on both hands, then wrist, next interlock fingers, thumbs, nails and done. I notice a few other differences as well but I am in California we dont have to dry each finger only dry each hand in upward motion.
Between you and another channel on here, I have been watching and studying for my skills portion (I passed my written exam) towards the end of January. Thank you for this
I absolutely Love You Nurse Julie!!! I'm studying for my CNA check-offs currently as a route into the Nursing-ADN program this Fall and you have been my life-saver. Your videos come highly recommended!!!! Thank You So Much
@@NURSEJAR Thanks Nurse Julie!!! I wanted to ask if you considered doing anymore Live CZcams streams maybe sometime in the future or if it's ever ok to just ask a question during those late-night study sessions? I am quite new to your channel, but I am aware and do respect what you're going through and didn't want you to feel as if I were being inconsiderate.
@@jbrittney33 Hi! I do have plans to start back live-streaming in the near future. Until then, yes, you may ask as many questions as you need. I try to respond within 24 hours.
I am taking my TEST tomorrow. I HAVE big HANDS and WRIST.. I pray that I don't touch that sink! THANK YOU for the videos.I have been following you for the past month. You are AWESOME Ms. Reynolds!
Hi, Melvin! Thank you! If your hands touch the insides of the sink, make sure to do self-correcting by letting the NAE know. Let me know how you do. Good Luck!!!
I thank you for uploading this video, nice demonstration. And I know if anyone is watching this from a water thirsty state,.. the viewers are probably thinking that “The Skills” taught by the states should be rethought to perhaps turn off running water with a towel FIRST then continue drying hands.
@@NURSEJAR Hi Julie - we are being taught that when we dry our hands, we should be drying the tips first and then drying our hands upwards. This is in Minnesota, we also use Pearson Vue. Is this a new change for 2019?
Hi, Lady Trogdolyte! The step specifically states to start drying hands beginning with the fingers. What it doesn't state, but is implied, is that the candidate must dry the fingers of each hand, first, then continue to dry the remaining areas of the hands, wrists and lower arms. Now, this step does not specify in which direction to dry these areas. So, whether you dry in an upward or downward fashion, it really doesn't matter.
Hi, Magic! Again, follow your Instructor's lead! For Pearson Vue, you are not required to use a clean, dry paper towel to turn on the faucet, as you are required to do so when turning off the faucet.
If you make a mistake (like touching the sink with hand washing) and correct yourself and ask NAE if you should start over and they say yes, does that mean start completely over? Like going back and knocking on the door and introducing yourself to the patient/resident?
I have my exam tomorrow and i been studying so hard but i am nervous and i tried contacting my instructor so i could practice with her but she never answered my calls so thank you so much for the videos
Hi, Isamar! Hopefully my videos will give you more insight on how to perform the manual skills portion of your certification exam. Please, let me know how you do. What state will you be testing in?
JULIE REYNOLDS I tested in Florida but I failed my exam and what made me fail was changing an occupied bed even though I feel like I did everything right
@@justsky2117 Oh, my! Did you walk on the side of the bed where you would have raised the side rail and state "raising side rail" as you simulated doing so?
Hi, Kate! Scrubs are best to wear with easy to put on and take off tennis shoes. Be sure to wear a t-shirt or tank top underneath your scrub top. If you don't have scrubs, be sure to wear a short-sleeve t-shirt and loose-legged pants.
Good morning. Julie I have a question is the Oral exam hard then the Written exam? I did it Twice already once at home and the one I did at home I never got what I did wrong on the test and also i had to keep calling them to find out if i passed or not and i wait 3weeks before i got answer Do you think they would look over that one and see that I didn't have what i Messed up on? So i want last week and did my skills and my oral exam at facility and I didn't passed my exam really didn't know what to do because I know we only get 3 tries. If i don't pass I would have to do the whole thing all over again and pay for my cna course all over again. Please help me.
@@llanetortiz3177 Hi! First, the content of the oral and written tests are the same. The only difference is that the questions and answer choices on the oral test are read to you or voiced. When you receive your report, it should indicate which skills you passed and which skulls you failed. For the written knowledge test, the report should indicate a percentage rate for all the domains. Usually, for the written exam, you must score at least a 70% in all domains to receive a "pass". You can schedule a free 30-minute online coaching session with me by visiting my website at: www.NurseJAR.com.
Hi, Magic! It is okay to wiggle your fingers over the sink to help remove the access water. What you do not want to do is shake your hands at the wrists. Doing so will splatter the water everywhere. With that being said, I always advise folks to follow their Instructor's lead, as I do not like stepping over my boundaries!!!
Hi nurse jar!! Thanks for the great videos. My exam confirmation e-mail said that disposable gloves and PPE will be required through the entire skills exam. Instead of washing my hands after each skill, do I state only changing gloves? Or should I state, “washing hands, and changing gloves” between each skill?
Hi, Ashley! These are Covid precautions. As always, after performing Hand Hygiene with actual running water and soap, you need only to verbalize "washing hands" whenever required to do so.
Hi, Felicia! No. If you are testing under Pearson Vue, it is not required for you to use a clean, dry paper towel to turn on the faucet. However, you are required to use a clean, dry paper towel to turn off the faucet.
Hi, Marli! If you are testing under Pearson Vue, my 2019 Hand Hygiene video is good for Pearson Vue Test Takers. If you are testing under Prometric, you'll find the 2020 Prometric Hand Hygiene video in my 2020 Prometric Playlist.
Also you’re not allowed to rub your paper towel up and down your arms. You have to start from your fingertips and work your way up using a different paper towel for each hand. There is so many things in your video that Washington state is extremely strict with.
@@peninapearl6491 Hi! Wow! They must have changed. You still should be able to grab a free test online. Try googling "prometric practice test free". Let me know if your able to download it free through Google.
Good... but don’t you NOT want the clean paper towel you let out with ur elbow to touch or go near the sink area at all, and the paper towel was so much and long it touched the sink counter when u pushed ur elbow on the handle to get them out.
Hi, Lauren! Because Hand Hygiene is one of the most simplistic skills, Candidates really do not focus on their placement of hands, rinsing thoroughly, and counting ensuring they lather for at least 20 seconds. The most simplistic skills are usually the skills that Candidates fail.
Hi, Fonzie! If you are testing under Pearson Vue, you will be required to perform 5 skills (Hand Hygiene, one measurement skill, and 3 random bedside skills). If you live in the state of Texas, you will receive a "PASS" if you receive a "SATISFACTORY" on 4/5 skills. All other Pearson Vue states must receive a "SATISFACTORY " on 5/5 skills to receive a "PASS". If you test under Prometric or Headmaster, you will have to perform 3 to 4 "SCENARIO-BASED" skills and must receive a "SATISFACTORY " on all skills to receive a "PASS".
Hi, Kaylee! I always tell students/candidates to follow their Instructor's lead. As Instructors, we all train differently. This is how I train my students. Thus far, for the past umpteen years, I've maintained a 100% pass rate with my students.
Hi, Jenerali! And, you are correct! I am not shaking my hands. I am lightly wiggling my fingers to remove the excess water. You may also lightly tap your fingertips together to remove the excess water.
Goodevening Nurse Jar , I’ve been watching your videos since last month .. and i had went to take my test yesterday and I had passed.. thank you so much..😅 cause boy i thought i didn’t pass it .. keep Making your videos , they are very helpful.. xoxoxo 🤍
Hi, Latoya! This statement is extremely shocking to me! CNAs are the backbone of the healthcare industry. All your anger that exudes from your statement, turn it into positive energy by doing something that will bring more attention to the CNAs' payscale. Be a Pioneer in a movement, not a thorn that pricks the hopes and dreams of future CNAs.

Confused, my school says no wiggling of fingers (splashing). They said just let it drip.

Hi, Dee C! If you are wearing a watch or any other finger, wrist, or hand jewelry, you will need to remove it before performing Hand Hygiene.
Does each state have a different testing procedures for CNA skills?
Hi, Dina! It depends on who the Authorized Administrator of that State, Pearson Vue, Prometric, Headmaster, or the Red Cross..
I have a question, in the opening statement, are we tested on identifying the patient?
Hi, Vanessa! You are not required to verify the patient's identity during testing.
Hi Julie! Can you please tell me if you have any updates on hand hygiene 2020? Thanks in advance.
Hi, Marli! If you are testing under Pearson Vue, my 2019 Hand Hygiene video is good for Pearson Vue Test Takers. If you are testing under Prometric, you'll find the 2020 Prometric Hand Hygiene video in my 2020 Prometric Playlist.

is it okay if a person washed their hands for more than 20 minutes?
Hi, Angela! I'm hoping you mean "seconds"! And, yes it's okay if you wash your hands for more than 20 seconds.
@@NURSEJAR thank you is all most 12oclock a.m I am still watching your videos thank you very much for your help
During hand washing if friction upto 20 seconds means fail?
Hi, Tomm & Jerry! If you do not wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, you will automatically fail this skill.
My test is next Thursday! 😬
Hi, Rivera21! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do. What state will you be testing in?
California !
In Washington state you’re not allowed to wiggle flick or move your fingers. It will be an automatic fail..
hell. why is washing hands so difficult?
Hi, Lauren! Because Hand Hygiene is one of the most simplistic skills, Candidates really do not focus on their placement of hands, rinsing thoroughly, and counting ensuring they lather for at least 20 seconds.
The most simplistic skills are usually the skills that Candidates fail.
@@NURSEJAR I passed!!!! Finally a CNA.. so happy …couldn’t of done it without your videos!!
@@mommablahblah5619 How did you do the hand washing then? Did you wiggle your fingers or how did you do?
I didn’t cna I finish my ecg technician training
Hi, Trussell! Congratulations on completing your ECG Tech training!
JULIE REYNOLDS thinks
How many skills do you need to do? TIA
Hi, Fonzie! If you are testing under Pearson Vue, you will be required to perform 5 skills (Hand Hygiene, one measurement skill, and 3 random bedside skills).
If you live in the state of Texas, you will receive a "PASS" if you receive a "SATISFACTORY" on 4/5 skills. All other Pearson Vue states must receive a "SATISFACTORY " on 5/5 skills to receive a "PASS".
If you test under Prometric or Headmaster, you will have to perform 3 to 4 "SCENARIO-BASED" skills and must receive a "SATISFACTORY " on all skills to receive a "PASS".
I live in houston, thanks for the info. I will be doing my skills test this coming saturday🤞🤞🤞
@@fonzierello3424 let me know how you do.
Will do thanks...
Hi julie, i passed both skills and written, thank you so much.
I had to repeat my own video when I did your way of handwashing. Teacher said that’s not how you hand wash in Pearson vue
Hi, Kaylee! I always tell students/candidates to follow their Instructor's lead. As Instructors, we all train differently. This is how I train my students. Thus far, for the past umpteen years, I've maintained a 100% pass rate with my students.
I’m take my test today I’m so nervous but I hope I passed
Hi, James Jamesia! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do.
Hi good morning 🌞
We clean fingers nails after 20 seconds friction
Hi, Tomm & Jerry! I always encourage students to complete the 20 seconds of handwashing before cleaning the nails, so you will not lose count.
@@NURSEJAR thnx mam
my teacher says i shouldn't shake my hands she does?🤔
This is my last chance in PA to be a CNA😔
and did you pass
I was told don't shake hands
Hi, Jenerali! And, you are correct! I am not shaking my hands. I am lightly wiggling my fingers to remove the excess water. You may also lightly tap your fingertips together to remove the excess water.
Aki
Wrong!

Hey Julie, I just passed my exam and I want to give you a hug 🫂 I LOVE YOU
Hi, Kaushal! Yay! CONGRATULATIONS! You #SmashedThatCNAExam!!!
THEY TAKE THIS CNA SHIT TO SERIOUS, WE ARE NOT RN"S STILL LOW PAY
Hi, Latoya! This statement is extremely shocking to me! CNAs are the backbone of the healthcare industry.
All your anger that exudes from your statement, turn it into positive energy by doing something that will bring more attention to the CNAs' payscale. Be a Pioneer in a movement, not a thorn that pricks the hopes and dreams of future CNAs.
