First let’s have a little background on the CNA requirements and the test itself.

A CNA is a person who assists patients under the supervision of a registered nurse, a licensed vocational nurse, or a licensed practical nurse. The duties of a CNA include basic care of patients such as bathing, grooming, and feeding. They also can assist nurses with medical equipment and checking vital signs.

Certified Nursing Assistants are in demand. They work in hospitals, assisted living facilities, and for agencies that provide home health care for the elderly and disabled. In order to become a CNA, 75 hours of state approved training is required. Some of the subjects studied are anatomy and physiology, nutrition, body mechanics, infection control, and client rights.

There is also a certain amount of hours of clinical study required. After which one can take the CNA test. The text usually consists of multiple choice questions regarding patient care and ethics. Usually it is a good idea to take a practice test before taking the actual test.

Fortunately, these are easy to come by. There are nursing assistant exam prep books, which you can be purchased from a favorite bookstore. If one has time to search it may be possible to find free resources at the library. It is also possible to receive a practice exam packet from the state that one is trying to be certified in.

But, the easiest solution would be to look for practice tests online. There are practice tests that can be downloaded. Some are PDF files that will explain test procedures and best practices, and include a sample test to work through.

There is also an IT related CNA certification. It has nothing to do with nursing. It is the Certified Novell Administrator. This is a certification for IT workers involved with network administration using Novell software products such as Netware. It is also possible to find many online CNA practice tests online for this certification.

It is always a good idea to take a practice test before attempting to get certified. The next time one is wondering about the CNA practice test – where to find one. They need look no further than online resources, or print publications.

The next important step for them to take before becoming employed as a CNA is to pass the state licensing exam.

Before taking the actual state exam it would be a wise move for someone to take advantage of the CNA practise test that are available to them. Many times CNA graduates may think that they have gained enough knowledge during school to pass the state licensing exam and they may be correct, but why not be 100% sure that they will pass the exam and get an idea of what the actual exam consist of? All of the nervousness that someone would normally have felt before taking the exam will be gone and the student will be full of confidence when they take the real exam because they know exactly what will be on it. Besides getting familiar with the written exam, they will also become familiar with the hands on portion of the test when practitioners are closely watching them to make sure that they have the knowledge to perform a certain task.

A students CNA class instructor would be their best source in telling them where they can take the CNA practice test. He/she may give an actual physical place or may even give some good websites where they can do it. students will not want to pass up the sources that their instructor gives them because taking the state licensing exam is their final step in beginning their career as a certified nurse assistant.
