As part of the Home Nursing Care Act, all nursing assistants must be registered to be able to work in a long-term nursing facility. The first step in the certification process is to enroll in a state-approved training program that is approved by the OSBN.
The training programs that are offered in Oregon are required to offer at least 75 hours of classroom lectures and another 75 hours of on-the-job training. They are required to offer the curriculum that was created by the Board. The curriculum will cover the basic duties of a nursing assistant 1. These will include training in assisting in the patient’s activities of daily living, assisting in bed making, caring for the patient’s direct environment, doing infection control, learning the proper communication skills, and even emergency procedures such as CPR.
As soon as you complete your training, you can then apply for the license exam, which consists of a written/oral exam and a skills evaluation. The license exam in the state of Oregon is offered by the Headmaster Testing Company. To get your license, you will have to pass all the tests. If you do, you will receive your license in the mail. If you feel that you are not yet ready to take, you are given 2 years to do so.
If you want to further your career, you can take advanced training programs. You can opt to become a nursing assistant 2 or a certified medication aide. Since these are advanced certifications, you must have an active CNA 1 license and a good record to be accepted for training. Keep in mind that these training will also have their corresponding competency exams.
CNA licenses are valid for only 24 consecutive months. To renew, you must perform 400 hours of qualified work while under the supervision of a registered nurse. Work as a CMA can be considered as nursing assistant work, but not vice-versa. Since the NAR now has an online system, renewal can be done through the internet.
Currently, nursing assistants in Oregon make $27,000 a year on average, depending on their level of expertise, length of employment, and area where they work. Large cities such as Portland often have a high pay due to the increased cost of living.
