If you want to enter the medical field, you should start to consider becoming a nursing aide. This type of profession is being sought out by different healthcare facilities. Before you are to handle any patient, you must first gain the proper skills and knowledge on how to properly take care of them. This will only be achieved if you enroll in a CNA program that is certified by the state. You can find these programs almost anywhere in the state and are offered by different institutions such as technical colleges, and select nursing homes. If you are able to complete your training, you may then send in your application form along with the needed documents to apply for the exams. You are required to provide a copy of your transcripts as proof that you were able to complete the needed training, as well as the results of your federal and state background checks.
The exam will be composed of two parts, a written and a practical demonstration. If you pass, you will get your license. Nurses from other countries are also able to apply for the state’s license exams if they are able to meet a specific set of requirements. The state of Maine does not allow any individual to work for more than 4 months as a nursing aide if his or her name is not on Registry. Once it is there, it will need to be maintained by renewing your license every 2 years. There are also requisites when you want to renew your license such as being able to have worked for at least 8 hours during that that time.
