There are now an increasing number of people who want to know how to become a nursing assistant in North Dakota. According to the Federal law, all aspiring nursing assistants must undergo proper training from a state-certified CNA program and then take the NNAAP exam. This exam will determine if the trainee is qualified to become certified.

The license exams consists of both a written or oral exam, and a clinical skills tests. The exam is designed to test the trainees and evaluate their competence in both skills and knowledge.

These attempts must also be done within 24 months from completing the training.
