If you want to work as a nursing aide, then your name must be entered on a Registry. It will only be entered there if you were able to pass the license exams that are offered once you complete a state-approved training program. Most of the training programs that are being offered in Minnesota can be completed within 4 months to continuous training.
It is possible to challenge the competency exams without going through a school program. To qualify you must successfully pass both the written and skills competency evaluation. You can not work in a care facility temporarily if you have not attended a training course and passed the test. To learn more about making reservations for the test you can contact Pearson Vue at 1-800-274-0504.
CNA license holders from other states can also work in Minnesota by applying for reciprocity. When they apply they must have worked for at least 8 hours as a nursing assistant while under the supervision of a registered nurse within the last 24 months. They must also have a good relationship with their state since there will be background checks for criminal records or maltreatment records. You will no longer be eligible to work in a nursing facility if there is any record of maltreatment that can be found on the Registry. You can get a copy of the application forms and the instructions to them at http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fpc/profinfo/narinfo/Interstate2.pdf.
Nurse aide certifications in the state do not last forever. If you want to be eligible for work as a nursing assistant, you must remain on the Registry. To remain on the Registry, you must have worked for at least 8 hours as a paid nursing assistant within the last 2 years. Your tasks must be the same as those that are done in a nursing home.
