You will also need to show different documents such as a certificate that shows you passed the criminal background checks, negative TB tests, and your immunization records. You have to prove that you are fully capable in taking care of the patients.
Once you complete your training, you will then be spending most of your time in classroom lectures and clinical duties. The training programs in the state of Mississippi take 6 weeks to complete. To meet the required 130 hours of training, you must be present in all training days.
After you complete your training, you will then be able to apply for the license exams.
