[Cnaprogram] CNA Skill Test Feedback for Candidates from Debra Buck at the OSBN

[Penny Patterson]

Hello,
Please note that starting this week in January 2012 the CNA Test Result Letters sent to the test candidates from Headmaster will include more information on the skill steps missed on the skills portion of the examination.   This is a result of the 2011 legislation, HB3220A, allowing the Board to use results of the CNA exam for continuing education purposes.  Students should find this information helpful as they prepare for their test retakes.
CNA Test Candidates will want to make sure that they are using the current Candidate Handbook to prepare for the exam.  As of January 2012, the candidates will have to ask the actor if they have any pain or discomfort during the range of motion skills.  
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions related to this information. Debbie
