I just passed my New York State Board a week ago and many thanks to Patty, I watched all her skills and I got so confident as if I had 5 years experience. I recommended her channel to my colleagues and hope this will help everyone out there. I greatly appreciate your time to make these videos and sharing them 😊
Amazing 💙
I take mine tomorrow and I’m so nervous!
I take mine next week in Connecticut … am glad someone out of FL passed from watching her .
I take mine tomorrow 😢
@@megandvchow did you do ❤️🙏🏼
I can’t pass without saying thank you Mrs Patricia, after 3 times i pass my CNA skill, thanks to God first and second thanks Mrs Patricia for your videos I watched them day and night finally I take my skills May 8, 2023 and pass it, my skills were, mouth care with denture, respiration and transfer from bed to wheelchair, I’m so excited now I’m thinking with my LPN. Thanks you so much 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Wonderful! Congratulations! We are super proud of you! Tune in to our Live Q&A Session on Thursday at 3pm (ET) for your congratulations shoutout!
I hope I get easy ones toooo
Hey Ms.Patti ! I'm just commenting to let you know that thanks to you and your videos, as of yesterday, 8-15-20, I'm a FL CNA! I can't thank you enough, I was stressing so much and after watching your videos for 2 weeks, they really helped me retain a lot of information I lost. The privacy blanket was never taught to me and I actually think it's one of the best tips I could have taken away from watching you. Someone who was at the testing site with me actually said she watched your videos as well and also passed! If I ever come across someone who is wanting to become a CNA I will definitely recommend your classes & online videos. :)
That is SO AWESOME!!! We are so proud of you! Congratulations and best of luck in your new career!
Hi Ms Patty, just stopped by to tell you I passed my exams! Thanks for the vidoes!
+Niki Allen Awesome job! We are so excited for you! Congratulations and best of luck in your new career!! :-)

Hi, I noticed that you forgot to use a paper towel to turn on faucet before washing the basin
I have severe problems with my attention in my actual CNA class, but you teach it well enough that I grasp it first time. My teacher had a complaint about my inability to master the skills, but those are going away after watching your videos! Thank you!

You're saying they let you retake the same exact skills you failed? I'm retaking mine.
@@4yourcna is that what he means? Did they let him retake the skills he failed?
@Mamatee how did you you pass your written test?
Hey ms Ramsey I'm back from taking my New York State CNA exam....I just want to give u an update on how it went...well I failed my written portion of the test however i passed the skills part...so I'll only have to retake the skills...my 3 skills including hand wash and indirect care was 1.transfer resident from bed to wheel chair 2. measure and record restorations and finally 3. Provide oral care to resident with denture..I wanted to express my gratitude and thanks because if it weren't for your friendly easy to follow video demonstrations and prompt email replies ,I would of probably fail the skills portion of the exam....I have collected all of your demonstration skills and stored them in a separate playlist on my CZcams account so I can easily bring them up...now I'm on mission to ace the written part soon and I want to be prepared this time...please provide any links or recommendations as to where i can get tips or facts on taking the written exam....again thank you and your videos had made a world of difference..and for anyone who is viewing this video this is proof that these series of demonstration really do work and help...best of luck to all taking their exam...
Congratulations on passing the clinical skills part of your exam. I would recommend reading a CNA textbook to review scope of practice and theoretical principles related to CNA practice. You can order a textbook and skills book on our website 4YourCNA.com/store. We also have practice questions on our website 4yourcna.com/online-workbook/ that are divided into chapters for easy review. Best of luck!

4yourCNA Thank you sooooo much!!!!
what skills did you have to do?
Thank you Mrs. Ramsey. I passed my Florida CNA Exam yesterday watching your videos! You are an excellent resource. Keep up the great work.
hello !! I am preparing for my CNA test , please can you tell me if you have to do the handwashing for every skill?? how many skills are required or asked to perform, thanks
Yes. You need to signal the hand washing each time. If it is your skill test(hand washing) then you need to perform the actual skill all the way. Good luck to you.
@@China4355 thanks for replying , and your wishing me good luck, 😊
I m doing my cna exam in ny state next month I failed in 2021

I enjoyed watching the nurses do what they did to me and helping me out while I was in the hospital out of all my hospital stays this is the first one that made me want to go back to school I know I'm 28 but I wasn't aware of what I wanted to do back then.

We are very happy that you found our videos helpful! Best of luck on your exam!
I wish they had these videos for the NY CNA skills ☹️️☹️️. Practicing in class is cool but I would love to watch videos with the NY state rules because they're slightly different
New York uses the same clinical skills checklist for testing that Florida does, so these videos will demonstrate the specific scenarios you will encounter in testing. The clinical skills checklist can be found on the testing agency's website: www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/nurseaide/documents/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf These skills are demonstrated according to the checklist and based on the specific patient scenarios used in testing. Hope this helps!
+4yourCNA that's interesting because the school where I'm taking the class teaches some of these skills differently. Maybe because our room is set up differently idk. But for instance we wash hands after removing gloves, brush the debtures in a specific way, whenever we turn on the faucet we use a barrier & use three different toothettes for this skill
The differences that you are describing will be your instructor's method of teaching - they are not right or wrong, just different. Our videos focus on demonstrating the skills according to testing standards, your specific instruction may differ. The state exam does not require handwashing immediately after removing gloves but DOES require handwashing at the end of the skill. The state exam does not require a specific method of brushing dentures. You can use a barrier to turn the faucet on if you wish, but dirty hands can touch a dirty faucet. Clean hands require a barrier. Using a barrier all the time just keeps you from thinking about whether your hands are clean or dirty. There is no reason to use 3 toothettes for any skill. Use a denture brush or toothbrush to brush the dentures and a toothette to clean the mouth. This is according to the Clinical Skills Checklist I mentioned in the earlier comment. When in doubt, review the checklist for testing checkpoints. Hope this helps!
I figured out in my In home care aid class-Here in my state (WA state) the basic idea of the skill is the same. How/when you do each step is a little different, and some instructors will teach students do a variation of it. the differences, in many cases are still allowed on the test. So I've been told
For state of Michigan, clinicals state test do u throw away the denture brush or put back in the drawer? I take my exam Tuesday the 24 of July. Thanks
Hey Pat, do you have a video on how to perform shaving care for a resident? l looked on all your videos but l don't see the one for shaving, l can see it from other videos which are boring and l can't even get what they are doing, please post one if you have it or advise me on which video is best to watch, l will greatly appreciate, your videos are the best overall and l have learned so much from your videos, thanks a lot and continue teaching us the skills, you are my teacher and l know l will make it when l take the State Test, l will pass because of you and the clear demonstrations, keep up the good work Pat!
Thank you for your comment! We are happy that you are finding our videos helpful. No, I'm sorry, we do not have a video on shaving. We focus on skills that must be demonstrated for the skills portion of CNA testing and shaving is not a testable skill. I am not familiar with other videos, so I am unable to provide you with advice on where to find a suitable video for that skill. Thank you and best of luck to you!
okay thanks a lot, l will let you know when l take my state exam and will let you know if l pass,
I'm a home care aid in WA state (also a cna) and watched your videos to help pass the state CNA and HCA exam. I'd love to see one on shaving-thought not a "testable" skill here in WA state, we're still taught it because some clients ask/need help shaving.
Hi Mrs Patty,I passed the skills exam by watching your videos I want to thank you but the state required to change the water before wetting the foam sponge.it was pointed out by one of the evaluators but I did everything else well.Tx
Congratulations! We are very proud of you and wish you great success in your new career! :-) I will look into this!
Hello. I have my exam on Monday and I was wondering if you do denture care first or mouth care? Or does it not matter that much.
I take my test today I’m hoping i pass but these videos helped me so I should fingers crossed tho
I just completed a course in Cna class, now preparing myself for the state exam which I want to sooner than later, how long should I actually wait before taking the exam, also I think these skills are great!! Explained & demonstrated so well!!
Thank you so much for the videos!
We are happy you are finding our videos helpful! Best of luck!
+Zenaba Doud we are very happy that you are finding our videos helpful and wish you the best of luck in your new career!
It’s my first time going to take the CNA-TEST, so what can I do in-order for me to pass
Thank you 💕💕
6:04 imagine if the cup didn't fall into the can after it hit the rim #Take2
Would this be alright to study with for the Washington state cna testing?
Are you supposed to use a paper towel on the sink to place the dentures and the basin on it? Also when you first opened the drawer to get the supplies out, did you not need a paper towel to open it?
Question: if you performed dental care on patient first instead of denture care first, would you need an extra pair of gloves? Does the order of how this task is performed matter?
For this skill, it does not matter which order you do it in: you can clean the dentures first or the mouth. However, if you do the mouth care portion first, you will have to clean the basin twice (once after they spit in it and again after cleaning the dentures before storing it). By cleaning the dentures first, you don't have to clean the basin between dentures and mouth care, so it saves you a step. But either way is acceptable. You must have 2 pairs of gloves for this skill, regardless of how you do it: you need one pair for dentures and the other pair for the mouth. Hope this helps!
Hello, for the test ,I have storage the dental brush or I can to dispose it
Hi . When do you take the barrier from the denture cup?
Hi Patty, after the dentures care, when I take my gloves up, most I, Washing my hand again, for the mouth care
No, washing your hands is not required, since it is the same patient. You are required to change gloves, but not wash between. Hope this helps!
Do I have to leave water running while cleaning dentures, I'm in Florida.
Yes, this is the easiest way, but not a required checkpoint. If you want to turn the faucet off during cleaning, you must do so with a paper towel, and use a paper towel to turn it back on for rinsing. Leaving it running is the easiest option, though. Good luck!
For exam One thing I forgot to ask is if I have to obtain the water from the faucet into a cup for patient rinsing and to wet tooth brush?
You will need a cup of water for this skill. There is generally a water pitcher on the bedside table for this purpose. If you must get water from the tap, please use a paper towel to turn the faucet on, since your hands are clean but the faucet is dirty. Thank you!
Do I have to apply toothpaste to the toothete or can I just moisten it and clean they're teeth?
According to Prometric Clinical Skills for Denture care Checkpoint #12, "Provide mouth care cleaning upper and lower gums,
using moistened foam-tipped applicator or toothbrush with toothpaste" so either would be acceptable for the exam. Thank you for your comment!
Do I'mma supposed to talk when I take the paper towels to dry the bassin?
Question, should you have used a paper towel to turn the faucet on and off when you washed the basin?
No, your gloves are dirty and so is the faucet, so no paper towel is required at this time. However, after you wash your hands, when your hands are clean, you must use a paper towel to turn the faucet on. And a paper towel is required to get water if your hands have already been washed We have an entire presentation on this in our online CNA Test Prep! It's free (for just a few more weeks) and has interactive activities, quizzes and more. It goes way beyond the skills videos we offer on CZcams. Check it out on courses.4YourCNA.com!
Nurse Patty, in this video the cup of water was previously prepped. During testing at what point would be beneficial for me to add water if not already prepped?
Most testing centers will have a pitcher of water on the bedside table. You can pour the water when you are gathering the supplies (the pitcher and cup are considered clean). If you do not have a pitcher of water, you can get water from the tap using a paper towel to turn the water on and off when you gather supplies. Hope this helps! You might find our online program helpful as well, as it covers more of these details than CZcams. It's free and you can find it on courses.4YourCNA.com. Good luck!
Can we do the skills the same for the Arkansas state testing
Can someone please explain to me why does Patty uses paper towel to hold the basin while cleaning when she was holding it bare before? I noticed that's she does it in other videos when using a basin.
Should the student wash their hands once gloves are removed? Then continue on until gloves are applied again?
Don't you need to wash your hands before you can pick up the denture cup at the very beginning?
You can take the denture cup to the sink before or after you wash your hands. It is only a cup, you are not touching the dentures, so it's not a graded checkpoint. You must have gloves on to touch dentures. Hope this helps!
I noticed that this video said to use cool running water. Is that still true to day this? This video is 4 years old so im wondering @4yourcna
I took my cna in KY passed everything except blood pressure. I’m so nervous retaking the performance exam
We wish you luck as you retest!
So do you keep this tooth brush for all test sites ?
This is so nice
When making a correction do i do the actually correction or just say the correction?
You must perform all actions for credit, unless told otherwise. For instance, you cannot say, "I would have performed mouth care", you would have to actually DO mouth care. But you can say, "Correction, I would have used a paper towel to turn the faucet on," to prevent getting a deficiency in infection control. Please see our video on corrections for more information czcams.com/video/hs3NQLsliX0/video.html&lc=Ugx6JWxZ8JX9sJ7ALrB4AaABAg Best of luck on the exam! :-) Don't forget to like and subscribe!
I was just wondering, why we put the washcloth in the bottom of the sink?
In case the denture falls, the washcloth breaks that fall. Dentures are very expensive to replace. I learned about that in class today.
Question
After you done with the denture, what is the first step bring the denture and place on the Nightstand and than take care of the washing cloth? Or first take care of the washing cloth and than grab the denture with bassin?
Hi for my cna Exam do I have to do everything that’s not bolded or critical in order ?
No, the order does not matter for many steps, but it really depends on what you are referring to. Putting a washcloth in the bottom of the sink must be done before taking the dentures out of the cup. Brushing the dentures must be done before storing them in clean water. Putting a towel over the chest must be done before brushing their teeth. Wetting the toothette must be done before applying toothpaste. So, the order doesn't matter for some things, but does for others. The video demonstrates an appropriate method of performing this skill with all checkpoints met. Hope this helps!
Now Iunderstand this skill better, trying to watch it is not easy at first ,but finally you'll get used to it .
We are happy you are finding our videos helpful! Best of luck!
Hi Ms Patti, am new here and I wanted to clarify something. I read somewhere that your not supposed to use toothpaste on dentures. Why
Very nice 👍
Omg thank you 😊
You're so welcome! Join us on our Livestream on Thursdays at 3pm Eastern (today!) :-)
should we wash our hands before applying the second pair of gloves??
No, it is not a graded checkpoint to perform hand hygiene before applying the second pair of gloves because it is care performed on the same patient. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
What if it is top and bottom denture, would you rinse the toothbrush and apply more toothpaste or would you use the same toothpaste you used on the previous denture?
For the exam, you will only have a single denture plate to clean. In a clinical setting, if the patient has both upper and lower dentures, you can clean them both with the same toothbrush and store them in clean water in the same denture cup (think of brushing your teeth in your mouth - you don't use separate toothbrushes or toothpaste - this is the same principle). Hope this helps!
thank you so much Ms. Patty, when do they teach us how to use a hoyer lift.... i work in a nursing facility and they use hoyer, do you know if that will be on the exam?
Theory related to hoyer lifts can be on the exam (requires 2 caregivers - one to work the machine, one to watch the patient) but the actual use of a hoyer is not a clinical skill for the exam. Your facility must provide specific training for the exact model of lift used in the facility during your orientation period. Hope this helps!
Do you just get tap water out of the sink for the rinse cup?
In California American Red Cross study guide it says to clean dental cup first, fill with water, so you won't be left holding the dentures like Patty, which can cause the dentures to accidentally fall out of your hand.
She would be holding the dentures either way even if she did rinse the cup out first
can you put the gloves on before you take the denture brush/basin to sink??? and also, should you wash hands after taking the first set of gloves off? I thought you were suppose to wash hands EVERY time you take gloves off? Thank you in advance.
You must wash your hands at the beginning and end of every skill. You are not required to wash your hands the very second the gloves come off, but you are required to wash your hands after providing care. This handwashing can occur a few moments after glove removal, after you complete care. You can put your gloves on before going to the sink, but make sure you don't contaminate your gloves and then handle the dentures. Remember, these dentures are going into someone's mouth! Hope this helps!
Do you not clean the emesis basin and denture cup with soap and water?
No, simply rinsing the basin is what the test requires. You can learn more about this on our FREE online program located at courses.4YourCNA.com where we cover this topic under "Basin Cleaning". Hope this helps!
anyone know if this skill is still evaluated for the texas state test?? bc covid?
Yes it is
do we have to ask if they want a magazine?
Can i put on gloves just before going to sink to clean dentures ?
Yes, BUT....make sure you use a paper towel to turn the faucet on! You do not want your clean gloves to touch the dirty faucet and transfer those germs onto the denture cup or the dentures themselves. Hope this helps!
My friend took an in-person CNA prep course about 3 months ago, and she was told that you shouldn't let the basin touch the inside of the sink during the exam. It's set down here and in the rest of the videos that require basin washing. Should we not be setting the basin down?
This is not a graded checkpoint on the exam, and an important principle in infection control is that the outside surface is not considered clean. When disinfecting (not done for the test but may be required in a clinical setting), you cannot hold the basin with your dirty hand while disinfecting, which is why we set it down, spray it (if required), then use a paper towel as a barrier between your soiled hand/glove and the basin. Hope this helps! :-)
@@4yourcna Awesome, thank you for the response!
Im in Boston, if I precede the same way as this video. I'll pass?!
These skills are in accordance with Florida state standards but also conform to many other testing standards of other states as well. The skills are presented according to current best nursing principles, which are universal. It is only the scenario (care plan) that may vary in other states. Best of luck!
Is it okay to just use 2 cups, one for spit and one for water ?
