If you want to become a nurse aide in Illinois, you must comply with the different requirements of the state. One of the most important things that you must do first is to finish CNA classes with the appropriate amount of theoretical and clinical instruction. These courses are offered by several educational institutions and healthcare facilities. Before you enroll in one, you have to make sure that the training course is approved by the state. Those who have taken up nursing courses are also able to apply for the state’s nursing assistant competency exams. They will only have to meet the minimum number of clinical hours (40 hours) and cover the fundamentals of nursing in their education.

In order to apply for the competency exams, you have to send in your application form and pass the needed documents. You can download a copy of the appropriate forms at www.idph.state.il.us/nar/home.htm. Examples of the documents you will need to send include roof of your training, ID photo, fingerprint cards, and the results for the background checks for criminal records. The background checks are done at both state and federal levels. They are done in order to protect the interests of the patients/residents that the applicants will eventually take care of.

Taking on the competency exams is a necessary step since the state does not allow any individual to handle patients as a nursing assistant if their name is not in the state’s Nurse Aide Registry. RNs from the state are able to work even if their name is not in the Nurse Aide Registry. If you have finished a course from another state, you can apply for reciprocity to be able to practice. Once you apply, you will be required to submit the needed documents that will prove that you finished a nursing assistant training program and have met the required number of hours.
