Hi sorry if this question is not allowed or has already been answered somewhere. I didn’t see anything in the rules barring this question.

I’m wanting a Polaroid camera under 400 dollars to take traveling with me. Something semi small and light preferably. Ive never used a physical camera before so maybe something thats not crazy complex? I could always learn though. Also easily replaceable paper and rechargeable batteries if possible. I’d prefer something a little more expensive compared to cheap and crappy. I want to take selfies but also take some good landscape shots. With that being said I want colored shots no black and white. I don’t care about size too much but I’m wanting to scrapbook the photos. So whatever’s easiest for that?

I’m new to the hobby so any other basic advice is appreciated.

Please spare me your wisdom (:

I just took my CNA skills exam and failed. I missed three skills
-On mouth care step 13. I threw away the toothbrush instead of rinsing it and putting it back in the cup.

-Positions on side step 5 I didn’t help the patient to their side only told them to lay on their side.

-Positions on side step 6 I didn’t put the pillows in the correct order.

Out of my 5 skills there were 50 possible steps in total. Why is missing three non critical steps an automatic fail? A 94% is an A. Assumably that means you’re only allowed to miss 2 or less non critical steps. Why is the test for a barely over minimum wage job where you wipe ass so hard? If the test was really about measuring basic competency then an A should be satisfactory enough. To me it feels like they are just trying to squeeze enough money out of you as possible.

To be clear, I passed my writtennn exam first try. And it’s not like I’m a complete novice when it comes to these skills too. I’m an EMT that works in the hospital. I work right next to CNAs doing everything they do and more. Why are they making it so difficult to pass in a field thats already burnt out and understaffed?? I guess it’s just a little frustrating.

Edit: Okay I’m clearing getting flamed a little bit which is fair. Thanks to the response of this community I see ive been looking at the test wrongly. I’ve been looking at it through my perspective as an EMT not as a CNA. Our roles and priorities, while they may be similar are also very different. I see now I need to be looking at the bigger picture more than just immediate needs like I do in my job. That being saidddd- I still think failing an A is a little frustrating
