Is the Certified Nurse Aide skills exam available online?

The Certified Nurse Aide skills exam requires candidates to demonstrate their skills in practical tasks such as hand washing technique, moving patients and measuring blood pressure, and thus the exam cannot be taken online. However, study guides that outline the proper procedures for these tasks are readily available online.

The CNA Clinical Skills Test tests candidates on 30 critical skills. Typically, a registered nurse administers the test, grading candidates on their knowledge and adherence to procedure. Study guides outlining the proper procedures for all these skills are available online, but candidates should take time to practice each skill before the test, rather than just reading the study guides.
