There are two ways for you to become a CNA in South Carolina. You can challenge and pass the certification exam or you can apply for reciprocity, which is only available for those who are already a CNA in another state.

Before you can take on the certification exam, you must first complete an approved CNA training course. Many of the training courses in SC can be completed in a few weeks of training. Once you establish eligibility, you can then apply.

The certification exam consists of a knowledge test, which is offered in writing or oral version, and a clinical skills evaluation. There are no additional charges for those who prefer to take the oral exam instead of the written. If you pass all the tests, your name will be added to the SC NAR and your nurse aide card will be sent to your address within 10 business days.

Once your name is on the registry, you must keep your record updates. Please inform the registry if you changed your name, address, or other vital information. There is no charge if you change your name or address. If you changed your mailing address, please call Pearson VUE at (800) 475-8290. If you changed either your name or other important information, please notify them by filling up the Change of Address of Name Form.

The second method to gain entry into the SCNAR is by applying for reciprocity. When applying, you will need to fill out the reciprocity application packet, which you can download by going online at www.pearsonvue.com. When you apply, you will be required to provide proof of your training and certification. It is important that when applying, your certification must still be active and that you have no records of patient abuse or neglect. All applicants must also pass the national background check for criminal records.

CNA certifications are only valid for 24 months. To be eligible for renewal, you must work for at least 8 hours. You must be compensated for the work you do and must be under the supervision of a licensed nurse while doing so. If you fail to renew your certification, it will be considered expired. An expired license can no longer be renewed. If you wish to be eligible for work as a nursing aide again, you must complete another training course and take the certification exam.
