If you are planning on entering the medical industry, you should think about becoming a nursing assistant. Since this job has a high demand in this state, there will always be jobs ready for new graduates. A good thing in choosing this profession is that it does not take that long to become certified to work. The first step in becoming a nursing assistant is to complete a training program. To complete the program, one must have at least 100 hours of classroom lessons and 16 hours of skills training.

After the completion of the program, you can then apply for the license exams within 2 years of finishing the program. When applying, you will need to submit a copy of your transcripts, ID photo, fingerprint cards, payment for the different fees, and the application forms. You can get a copy of the application forms by downloading it at www.prometric.com. Aside from those mentioned, you will also need to take immunization and physical tests to determine that you are capable of handling different patients. Passing the federal and state background checks are also requirements in taking the license exam.  If you feel that you are not yet ready for the exams, you will be given a maximum of 24 months to take it.

All applications are forwarded to Thomson Prometric since they are the ones who are in charge of conducting the exams. Their exams are composed of a written and a skills demonstration. You can also send letter of request to replace the written exams with an oral examination if you prefer. To get your name entered in the state’s Nurse Aide Registry, you must pass all the tests. It will be the state’s Department of Public Health that will be issuing you your certification/license.
