A nurse aide is able to do non-specialized tasks that are related to personal care and comfort of a resident. This includes assisting in different activities of daily living. According to the law, all nurse aides must be registered to the NA Registry of the state that he is working in. In order to be entered on the Registry, one must be able to complete a 75-hour CNA training program that is approved by the state. These programs may take 8 to 13 weeks to complete. After completing the program, the applicant must then take on the license exams.
The license exams are composed of two parts, a written and a skills demonstration exam. You must pass both parts for you to get your license and your name entered in the state registry. Entry in the registry means you are eligible to work as a nurse aide for up to 24 months. To maintain registry status you must work at least 8 hours each 24 months as well as take 12 hours of in-house training per year. Every applicant is allowed to take the exams up to 3 times. After failing for the third time, he must then undergo retraining before he is allowed to take the exams again.
Those who are certified from another state may qualify to apply for reciprocity to be able to work in Nebraska. To apply you will need to complete the Interstate Application Form, which can be downloaded from this webpage: http://nevadanursingboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/CNA-application-packet.pdf. You will be disqualified from reciprocity if you have a license that has lapsed due to not working as a nurse aide during the previous 24 months.
