If you want to work as a nursing aide, you will need to get a CNA certificate. This is only given to those who were able to meet the testing and training requirements of both the Federal and State. For the training portion, programs that are offered in the state last for only up to 6 weeks. You will need to complete 130 hours of training, which are divided into classroom lectures, laboratory work, and clinical duties.

After you complete your training, you can then proceed to take on the license examinations, which are offered by Pearson Vue. The exams are composed of two parts; a written/exam and a skills evaluation on the nursing skills that you learned in the program. The first part of the exam will be composed of 70 items. As for the skills evaluation, out of all the skills that you were taught you will be given 25 minutes to do 5 randomly selected skills. You must pass all the tests to get your name certificate.

It is not enough to get your name on the NA Registry and have your certificate. To be able to work, you must also have an active status on the Registry. Nursing aide certificates are only valid for up to 24 months. To continue your work, you will have to renew it. Your status will be kept active if you were able to work for at least 8 hours as a paid nurse aide every 24 consecutive months.
