LEARN • PRACTICE • PREPARE
Study with a purpose. Practice with confidence.
Healthcare learning is more than memorizing information.
Whether you are preparing for the Florida CNA exam, strengthening a clinical skill, reviewing medication-assistance concepts, refreshing CPR/BLS knowledge, or building your healthcare foundation, AZ SkillCare helps you focus on what matters and know what to do next.
Use this resource center to review, practice, prepare, and connect with additional support when you need it.
What Are You Preparing For?
Choose the area that matches your current goal. Start with one focus, use the resources that apply to you, and move to the next step when you are ready.
CNA Written Exam Preparation
Strengthen your understanding of the concepts commonly used in nursing-assistant care and prepare to approach exam questions with greater confidence. Topics: basic nursing skills, infection prevention and safety, activities of daily living, communication, resident rights, personal care, restorative care, mental and emotional needs, professional responsibilities, and practice questions. Study CNA Knowledge
CNA Clinical Skills Preparation
Knowing the steps is only the beginning. Clinical preparation requires repetition, sequence, safety awareness, communication, and the ability to complete a skill correctly while being observed. Topics: skill sequence, hand hygiene, safety, privacy and dignity, communication, measurements, positioning and transfers, personal-care procedures, indirect care behaviors, and common errors to watch for. Review CNA Skills
Medication Assistance Resources
Medication assistance requires accuracy, attention, communication, safety, and an understanding of your responsibilities. Topics: medication safety, common terminology, documentation, observation and reporting, rights of medication administration, recognizing when to stop and ask for help, and role and responsibility. Explore Med Tech Resources
CPR & BLS Review
Skills used during an emergency must be remembered when they are needed most. Review core concepts connected with CPR/BLS training and reinforce what you learned in class. Topics: emergency response sequence, CPR fundamentals, AED awareness, choking response, team response, and safety reminders. Explore CPR/BLS Resources
EKG Learning Resources
Build your foundation before moving deeper into electrocardiography. Topics: basic cardiac anatomy, electrical conduction, medical terminology, EKG equipment, lead-placement concepts, rhythm fundamentals, patient preparation, and safety and professionalism. Coming Soon. A public EKG study page is not open yet.
CNA EXAM PREP
Preparing for the Florida CNA Exam? Start Here.
Instead of trying to study everything at once, divide your preparation into smaller goals. Learn what the examination requires, build your knowledge, practice questions, rehearse clinical skills, and prepare for exam day.
AZ SkillCare provides educational preparation and student support. Certification, examination, and credentialing requirements come from the organizations responsible for those processes.
Five steps
01
Understand the Exam
Know what you are preparing for before you begin studying. Use current official information for application, eligibility, testing requirements, candidate instructions, and exam administration.
Florida CNA Exam Information
Florida Board of Nursing — Certified Nursing Assistant (official external)
02
Build Your Knowledge
Review one subject area at a time instead of repeatedly reading everything. Focus on understanding why a procedure is performed, what keeps the resident safe, what falls within the nursing assistant’s role, when information must be reported, and how resident rights affect care.
03
Practice Questions
Practice should show you more than your score. Use questions to identify what you understand, topics you consistently miss, words in questions that change the answer, and areas that need additional review.
Do not simply memorize an answer because you have seen the question before. Learn the principle behind it. These are study questions, not Prometric examination questions.
04
Practice Clinical Skills
Watching a skill and performing a skill are different. Use demonstrations and checklists for review, then physically practice the complete skill until the sequence becomes familiar.
Pay attention to opening steps, safety, communication, privacy, infection control, required measurements, closing steps, and indirect care throughout the skill.

05
Prepare for Exam Day
Your preparation should include the test day itself. Before your scheduled exam, confirm the testing location, reporting time, required identification, what you may and may not bring, clothing requirements, current testing instructions, and documents required by the testing provider.
Always verify current exam-day requirements directly with the official testing provider before the appointment.
Study Smarter, Not Just Longer
A simple study process can make preparation more manageable.
Learn → Practice → Check → Repeat
Learn It
Start with one topic or skill. Understand what you are doing and why.
Practice It
Answer questions, work through examples, or physically practice the skill.
Check It
Identify what you missed instead of immediately moving to something new.
Repeat It
Return to weak areas until you can explain or demonstrate them without depending on the answer key.
Before exam day
Confirm the details of your own appointment, then use the AZ SkillCare checklist as a reminder. The official testing provider is the source for current rules.
- Testing location
- Reporting time
- Required identification
- What you may and may not bring
- Clothing requirements
- Current testing instructions
- Documents required by the testing provider
Always verify current exam-day requirements directly with Prometric before the appointment.
