For you to become a certified nursing assistant in the state of Maryland, you must first complete one of the state approved training programs. Training must consist of at least a total of 100 hours’ worth of clinical practice and classroom instruction. Most programs will last from two to six months. After finishing the training program, you will then be eligible to apply to take the license examination. Applying for the Nurse Aide Registry is the only way for you to be allowed to work as a CNA in the state of Maryland. When you apply, you must be able to provide your Social Security Number or your Federal Tax Identification Number. This is mandatory when you apply. Failing to do so will result in the rejection of your application. When you apply, you must already have completed a state-certified training program and pass the evaluation exams.
Once you are approved, you will need to maintain this status in order to remain eligible to work as a nursing assistant. Your license as a nursing assistant will only be valid for two years. It will expire on the 28th day of your birth month. The expiration date for your license is also the same for your advance certifications. For nurse aides that come from other states, if they wish to work in Maryland, then they will need to apply for reciprocity. They will need to apply to the out-of-state nurse aide registry. This registry is still under the state’s Board of Nursing. When they apply, they must have a valid license and a good relationship with their state. They will also need to pass the federal and state background checks.
Maryland also offers advanced certifications for those who have been licensed as a certified nurse aide. Some of the advanced programs are Dialysis Technician, Geriatric Nursing Assistant, or a Medicine Aide. You can call the MD Board of Nursing for further details about receiving an advanced degree at 410-585-1990.
