In order to become a nursing assistant, you will need to comply with both the federal and state’s requirements. Your end goal here is to get your name on the NA Registry. Only those names that are on the Registry will be allowed to work as a nursing assistant. The Registry also contains the names of approved instructors and clinical supervisors.
To get your name on the registry, you will have to pass the competency evaluation exams. These exams are only available to those who were able to complete a CNA training course or who submit an accepted letter of approval to challenge the exams. These courses will offer you 75 hours of classroom lectures and laboratory exercises and 100 hours of clinical exposure. These exams are composed of a written and a skills exam, which you must be able to pass both of them to get your name on the Registry.
Every applicant who was able to complete a training program is allowed to take the exams 3 times. If you fail on your first try, you will be given 2 more chances to pass the exams within 90 days. If the instructor allows it, you may directly retake the exams on the same day that you received your results. If you try to challenge the exams you are only given one try and if you fail will be required to attend a regular state approved course.
Once certified you are added to the state registry that is updated by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. You will need to renew your license every 24 months. Generally you will receive notification of your renewal date prior to it being due. Renewal is accomplished by submitting work verification from your employer of 8 hours or more spent on the job. You can call the office and speak to a customer support representative to learn more about renewal requirements by calling 573-526-5686.
