Taking the NNAAP examinations is a must for all those who want to become a nurse aide in Mississippi. These exams are only available to only those who are able to meet the requirements and be eligible to apply. There are different routes for an individual to become eligible.
One option is to enroll in and complete a 130-hour nurse aide training course. These courses take 6 weeks to complete. After completing the program, you will have 24 months to apply for and take the exams. If you fail to apply within that time, you will need to start all over. For those who are already working in a nursing facility, they will only be given 4 months from the start of their work, to take the exams.
In order to get a CNA certification, you must be able to pass both the written and the skills. The exam has two parts which are a written multiple choice and a physical demonstration part. If you fail in one part, then you may retake the part of the exam that you failed in. When you reapply, you will only need to pay for the exam that you are planning to take.
The Pearson Vue company handles the administering of the exams and can be reached to schedule a testing date by calling 1-888-204-6213. Once you have passed both parts they will notify the state and your name will be added to the online registry. This will enable you to be hired by potential employers for a period of 24 months. To remain listed in good standing nurse aides will need to show verification of 8 hours spent in the capacity of the job. You can contact the Mississippi State Department of Health at 601-364-1100 to learn more about renewal instructions and requirements.
