The first step in becoming a nursing assistant is being able to enroll in and complete a state-approved CNA training program. These programs are offered by different institutions such as colleges, high schools, and healthcare centers. To ensure that you will receive the proper training, you must only enroll in a program that is approved by the state. You can find these programs almost anywhere in the state because of their high demand.
One of the benefits of completing a state-approved program is that you will be able to apply for the license exams afterwards. Taking the license exams is a must step since it will be the only way you can get your name entered in the state’s Registry for Nurse Aides. Aside from that, you will also be allowed to work as a nursing assistant for up to 4 months even if you have not yet taken the exams. You can call the Maine State Board of Nursing at (207) 287-1133 to speak with an associate about any questions you have.
Certified nursing assistant license holders from other states are also welcome to work in Maine. Before they are allowed to do so, they must first apply for reciprocity. When they apply, they must have an active status or their name must be in their Registry. You must have also completed a training program that has sufficient hourly instruction to meet state standards. Nurses from other classes are also welcome to apply for a certification. When applying for reciprocity, the applicant will have to bring documents that show his experience and training. They will also have to undergo a small background check to see if they have no criminal records.
