Failed the skills test in Virginia

I have worked in healthcare for 20 years. I forgot to renew my CNA license. I took the class and the testing over again. I passed the written test with flying colors. I did perfectly on the skills portion, except for counting the radial pulse. Funny how CNAs never count a radial pulse (not really) 😡 So now I get to take it again. It's a ridiculously picky test and we are tested on skills we don't use. For the money CNAs make its maddening and not fair. My best friend is a nurse practitioner and she is so mad I failed bc of pulse. She said "I'm an NP and didn't have to take a radial pulse skills test" We desperately need CNAs, and it's only getting worse. I so so mad that I thought about not testing again. We even have to pay to take the test again.
