In becoming a nursing assistant you must be able to pass both the federal and state background check, as well as take a class program, and pass the competency exams to get your CNA certification. You can only be qualified to take the state license exams if you have completed a Department of Aging and Disability Services licensed course or been certified in another state and have applied for reciprocity.
When you enroll in a training course you will get two types of instruction. These are classroom coursework/lectures and hands-on skills training. According to the current state requirements you must complete at least 51 hours of theoretical instruction, and skills practice in the amount of 24 hours. The skills portion of your instruction is to be coordinated by an experienced RN. The state of Texas allows unlicensed nurse aides to work under supervision for up to four months.
When you are finished with your school requirement you will want to schedule a date to take the certification exams. This two part exam consists of a written or oral test and a physical demonstration test. The applicant must pass both portions and is allowed three chances to do so. Those who can not pass are forced to retake their training. In addition the exam must be passed within 24 months of having taken your course.
