The only way to get your name on the Missouri NA Registry is to pass the license exams. There are different ways for you to become eligible to apply for the exams. One way is to complete a state-certified CNA class. According to the law, these classes are required to offer 75 hours of classroom instructions and 100 hours of practical experience.
During your instruction you will practice using a variety of different health care tasks and work to become proficient at them. Some of the common skills you will practice using are: checking vital signs, feeding patients, transporting residents, using a transfer belt, catheter care, grooming, oral care, communication, toileting, bathing, range of motion exercises, safety procedures, and infection control.
An individual may also work as an uncertified nursing aide. This is provided that the individual immediately takes up a training class and then challenge the license exams afterwards. The individual will only have 4 months from the start of his work to get his name on the Registry. During his training, he will only be allowed to perform nursing skills that were already taught in the class.
Another way of being able to take on the license exams of Missouri is when you apply for out-of-state endorsement. This is only applicable to those that are already listed as a CNA in another state’s NA Registry. Once the office receives the necessary paperwork, the applicant will receive a reply within 7-10 days, whether or not he is allowed to take the exams.
