Now looking to get into the technical skills you would bring to the Adventist Health team as a Certified Nursing Assistant, your interviewer is asking you to describe any experience you have in checking the blood sugar levels of a patient. If you have direct experience and training in this, clearly describe your experiences and how you can bring these skills to this team. If you don't have direct experience, there is no need to fret. Tell your interviewer what you know and that you are confident in your ability to be trained. To seal your answer for your interviewer, talk in detail about the machines you have used and then clearly definite the documentation procedures necessary after testing a patient.

"My current employer did provide formal training on blood glucose monitoring for me a few years back. I do get to put these skills to work when we have diabetic patients on our unit. When I need to check a patient's levels, I use a new lancet on a finger that I cleaned off well. I have to ensure that the correct code key is used with new test strips to ensure accurate results on the blood glucose meter. When the results come through, I document them right away in the patient's chart because the entire care team closely monitors the patient's levels each day."
