The first thing that you need to do if you want to become a nursing assistant is to look for a training class to enroll in. You have to make sure that the class is approved by the state before you enroll in it so that you will have no problems in applying for the license exams afterwards. With the increased demand for nursing assistants, there are not plenty of training classes that you can find all over the state.
In order to be accepted in a class, you have to be at least 18 years old when you apply. Aside from that, you must be physically capable of handling different patients. You should also have a negative result on the TB test and not have any communicable disease. Some training classes will require you to submit the result of the criminal background checks upon enrollment. These checks will be done in both Federal and State levels.
It will take approximately 6 weeks to complete the required 130 training hours. After that, you can then apply for the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program examination, which is given through Pearson Vue. They can be reached by calling 1-888-204-6213 to set up a test time and date.
These exams are composed of a written/oral exam and a skills demonstration. For the written portion the applicant will need to answer 70 multiple choice problems. During the skills portion one will need to correctly demonstrate five tasks used by a nurse aide chosen at random. If you want to find out more about the exams, you can visit www.pearsonvue.com.
By passing all the exams, you will then receive you license, which is valid for up to 24 months. It must be renewed before it expires in order to continue to be eligible as a nursing assistant. One of the main requirements is that the holder must be able to work for at least one day within that time.
