CNA Study Guide PDF | Nurse Aide Exam Review | 60 Practice Questions | Skills Checklist | Certified Nursing Assistant | Printable

Pass the written test and walk into your skills test knowing every step.

This is a 32-page printable CNA exam study guide for nurse aide students getting ready for the state written (knowledge) exam and the skills test. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN. I'm a nurse educator, and I've been helping nursing students through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. Each topic covers the safe, correct way to give care, what to report to the nurse, and why it matters, with quick tables, report boxes and memory tricks like RACE and PASS, "weak in, strong out" and "bag below the bladder."
