Before you are allowed to handle any patient as a nursing assistant, you must first get the proper education and training. You can get all of these when you enroll in a training program. To ensure that you will be eligible to apply for the CNA license exams afterwards, should only enroll in a program that is approved by the state. These programs can be found all across the state and are offered by different colleges, nursing homes, community training centers, and other educational institutions. Depending on the program you choose, it will take you and average of 6 months to finish a program. The minimum age requirement for enrolling in a program is 16 years old.
Once you become eligible, you will be able to submit your application for the license exams. The exam is two parts, consisting of a manual skills portion and a written competency part. Aside from the appropriate application form, you must also submit the results of your federal and state background checks. If you fail the background checks for criminal records, you will not be allowed to proceed and take the exams.
If you are nurse aide license holder from a different state, you are allowed to work in the state if you apply for reciprocity. When you apply, you should first make sure that your license status is still active or valid. Another important thing to have when applying for the reciprocity is a good relationship with the state you come from.
