If you want to become a nursing assistant then you must first learn all the necessary knowledge and skills that you will need to take care of a resident. That is why you have to choose a training program to enroll in. You have to keep in mind while selecting a program that you should only enroll in a program that is approved by the state. You can find that these programs are being offered by different institutions like colleges, high schools, and even certain community and healthcare centers.

When you enroll in a state-approved program, your training will be composed of lessons on different nursing concepts and clinical skills training. You will be trained on different nursing skills like proper hand washing offering and removing bedpans, doing partial or full bed baths, assist in performing ROM exercises, and certain emergency procedures. All that you will learn will be tested in the state’s license exams, and while in the program, you must have at least 40 hours’ worth of clinical duties and practical experience in a medical setting. This is the minimum set of required number of hours imposed by the state to qualify to take the exam for nursing aides.

The license exams for this state are composed of two parts, a written and a skills demonstration. You have to pass all the exams for your name to be entered in the state’s online registry.

To qualify the applicant must also be at least 16 years old, and have a criminal history records check that shows no disqualifying convictions.
