What sort of letter does my doctor need to provide for me to take with me for my state exam?

Question

I have finished my CNA training and have only two more days of clinicals. I do however have some hearing loss and very little feeling in the tips of my fingers. What sort of letter does my doctor need to provide for me to take with me for my state exam to allow me to use automated blood pressure and pulse equipment. I am in Utah.

Answer 1

I am not familiar with the process of testing when someone requires special accommodations, however, I do know that you need to call the testing center first and let them know you need special accommodations. Ask them what sort of letter is required after you explain your particular situation.

I believe that your doctor needs to document the hearing loss as well as the loss of feeling in your fingertips, and sign the letter. The testing center should know exactly what type of letter is needed and inform you when you contact them to schedule your test.
