A nursing assistant work under the supervision of a registered nurse. The tasks that they perform will depend on what are delegated by the nurses. According to both federal and state laws, any nursing assistant who wants to work in a nursing facility in North Carolina must be on the Nurse Aide I Registry. This includes nurses, LPNs, medication aides, geriatric aide and nurse aides with other advance certificates.

To get on the NAR, one must challenge and pass the nurse aide competency exam. The N.C. Division of Health and Human Services has contracted Pearson VUE to assist with the conducing and other matters involving the exam. To get certified, you must pass the written and clinical skills test. The written exam also has an oral version which is offered in either English or Spanish. To get the oral exam, one must make the request during the application process.

One of the best ways to be eligible to apply for the exam is by completing a state-certified nursing assistant I class since you will be allowed to work as a nursing assistant for a maximum of 4 months. The training you receive in the class is only basic so if you want to improve your knowledge and skills you can try to get an advance certification.

If you want to focus your career on being a nursing assistant, you can try to get a nurse aide II certification. The certification process for this will involve additional training and a competency exam. To be eligible to enroll for the training programs, you must be on the Nurse Aide I Registry with no substantiated findings of abuse, patient neglect, or misappropriation of the patient’s property.

Before hiring, an employer is required by the state to check the status of the applicant. They may do so by going online to https://www.ncnar.org/verify_listings1.jsp. To check the status of the applicant, they can provide the SSN.
