If you are planning on becoming a nursing aide, you must take the NNAAP examinations. To be eligible to take it, you must be either a:
1. New nursing aide
2. Graduate nurse
3. Out-of-state or foreign registered nurse
4. NA from a different state
5. Lapsed nursing aide.
A new nursing aide is a fresh graduate of a NA training course and has not been registered as one in another state’s NA Registry. When applying, the applicant will need to fill-out and complete and application form and submit it along with the examination fees, a copy of his training course certification of completion, and a letter from his training program stating that he has completed and passed the necessary training. The requirements for nursing graduates are the similar when applying for the exams, with the only difference in the proof of training.
Other nursing aides that are registered in a different state may transfer work to Mississippi by applying for reciprocity. Reciprocity is the process by which a nursing aide from a different state is granted permission to work in the transferring state. When applying, the applicant must show proof of training and experience and must have an active license. He/She must not have any convictions of abuse, negligence or misappropriation of the patient’s property.
