If you want to take care of patients as a CNA, you must first know what a nursing assistant is all about. Nursing assistants take care of the patients with the use of the basic nursing skills and knowledge they have learned while enrolled in a training program. They get to help the patient maintain and monitor their health status. While working, they are under the supervision of a registered nurse.
It is not enough to get your name on the New Jersey Nurse Aide Registry to work as a CNA. Your name and status on the Registry must also be valid or active. CNA licenses in this state last only for 2 years. Since the PSI is in-charge of maintaining the NJNAR, their renewal mailer will notify you 45 days before your license expires.
There are several conditions that must be net for your license to be renewed. These include:
• An active or valid nursing assistant certificate/license.
• Have worked and been paid for 7 hours of providing nursing or nursing-related services in a long-term care facility for the past 24 consecutive months.
• Have not gotten his/her certificate/license revoked or suspended.
• Completed the CBI and fingerprinting before the expiration of the certificate/license.
Since a nursing assistant certificate is a basic certification, advance certificates such as medication aide certificates will also require it to be active before they can be renewed. In addition to the requirements of renewing your nursing assistant certificates, there are also other requirements that are specific to the advance certifications.
To renew a medication aide certificate/license, you must:
• Complete the 10 hours of continuing educations, seminars, or in-service training every 24 months. These 10 hours will be divided equally into a review of the fundamentals of Nursing and skills and knowledge needed in the administration of medications, and 5 hours of topics that include current medications that are used in elderly care.
• Be able to provide proof of training and education to the PSI testing center.
