The state of Illinois does not allow any individual to handle any patient/resident as a nursing assistant without undergoing the proper education and training. When you are selecting a program to enroll in, you should only choose a program that is approved by the state. You can find on this page the CNA training programs that are available in the area.

These programs are offered by community colleges and training centers, high schools, healthcare centers, and other institutions. Depending on the program you select, it will take only a few weeks of training to complete the program. It is very important that when you complete your training, you will be able to apply for the different healthcare facilities not only in this state, but as well as others.

As a nursing assistant student, you will gain knowledge on the different topics that you will need to take care of patients such as infection control, mental health, therapeutic communication skills, and other medical concepts. You will also be trained on the basic nursing competency skills like assisting in feeding, dressing, ROM exercises, ambulation, offering and removing bedpans, and do emergency procedures when needed. After completing your training you can apply for the  certification test. The test covers two parts a manual skills test and a written competency part. If you happen to fail your first take on the examination, you can take it three times before they require you to retrain.

Nurse assistants from other states are welcome to work in this state. When they wish to do so, they must first apply for reciprocity. When they apply, their licenses should still have a valid license status. All those who are applying for reciprocity are also required to pass the federal and state background checks. Having records like patient abuse and negligence can greatly affect their application.
