Northwest Nursing Assistant Certified Training is Washington State’s official Skill Exam test site. Not only will our training help you prepare for the test, you can also take it here. This is more convenient for our local students, and it also provides a familiar place to take the exam. The exam itself is taken in two portions: a multiple choice exam and a demonstration of actual nursing assistant duties. You may take the multiple choice exam in either written or oral form. During the oral examination, you are required to take a short reading comprehension test. You must pass both sections. Your demonstration of nursing abilities can include proper hand washing techniques, taking and recording vitals, assisting with activities of daily living as well as rehabilitation and incontinent care. Clinical experience includes long-term skilled nursing, sub-acute care, and assisted living and memory care. There are 22 skills in all and students will be tested on five of these skills, all of which must be completed in 30 minutes.
