The North Dakota Department of Health is the agency which maintains and handles the information that is provided in the registry. As of 2012, the Department has ceased providing paper licenses to successful passers of the CNA competency examinations and the cards can now be printed directly from the state’s website. Through the website, you will also be able to access downloadable forms with which you can apply for renewals and reciprocity in the state. There is no fee required in the downloading of these materials, however currently their is a $25 certification renewal fee.
There is also relevant information with regards to medication assistants who wish to apply on the state. They will have to submit certain documents in order to pass certification such as the name and location of the training institution, the date of their completion of the program, the social security number as well as the full name and address of the student, the clinical facility coordinator of the school, the curriculum of both the clinical and theoretical sessions of the training, and a copy of the certificate of completion by the student of the said program.
The forms that are available on the website have undergone some changes and if you have been renewing you certification before through their online site, you may be able to notice these changes. You will need to use the more recent formats in order to comply with the renewal system of the website.

Through the online portal of the registry, you will be able to find a lot of information with regards to the nursing aide employment. You can find a background check on the nurse aide as well as other disciplinary actions which may have been given to the applicant during the past years. You can also find various forms such as those which are used for renewal and reciprocity which is very important if you wish to apply in the state as a nurse aide and you have a current certification on another state.
