The first step in becoming a nursing assistant in Florida is to complete a CNA training course. The course has to be approved by the state so that you will be eligible to take the license exams after you complete your training. For a program to be approved it must offer its students at least 75 hours of classroom lectures on the different concepts of the Fundamentals of Nursing and about 100 hours of training on the different nursing skills like bed bath, assisting in ambulation, ROM exercises, changing bed linens while the patient is still on the bed, and other basic care skills.

After you complete the training you can then apply for the license exam. The license exams in Florida are being conducted by Prometric. Their examinations are composed of a written and a skills demonstration. You may send a letter of request along with the other application paperwork to have it exchanged with an oral exam.
