Getting a CNA certification can be one of the best career options you can make today. This profession is not only in demand in the state of North Carolina, but in other states as well. Because of this demand, newly certified CNAs will have no problems whatsoever in looking for work.

If you want a nursing assistant certificate, you must first acquire the knowledge and skills needed to function properly as a nursing assistant. This means that you will have to enroll in a state-certified nursing assistant I training program. You can find that these programs are offered by colleges, nursing homes, hospitals, and private institutions. To complete your training, you will have to meet the 75 hour training requirement and pass the program’s final exam.

The completion of a training program will prepare you to challenge the competency exam. This exam will test you in both knowledge and skills to see if you are ready to function as a nursing assistant. If you pass all the tests, your name will be entered on the Nurse Aide Registry. While you are waiting to take the exam, you are allowed to work for compensation as a nursing assistant for a maximum of 4 months. To know more about the competency exam, you can read the candidate handbook, which you can get by contacting your training program instructor, visiting the Pearson VUE official website, or by calling the NACES Plus Foundation at (888) 282-6904.

Getting a CNA I certificate is only the beginning of the opportunities that are offered in this line of work. If you want, you can train to become a medication aide. A certified medication aide or a CMA is a nursing assistant who has been trained to provide the patients selected medications while under the supervision of a registered nurse.

If you want to specialize in taking care of the elderly or geriatric patients, you can become a geriatric aide. There is no required state exam to be a geriatric aide, so as soon as you complete the 30 hour training course, your instructor will enter your name on the Geriatric Aide Registry. Your record on the NAR will also be updated. For more information, please follow this link: https://www.ncnar.org/ncga.html#gafaq.
