There are two type of CNAs in the state of New Jersey. One worked in a long-term health care facility while the other is involved in home care. Since there are two types of nursing assistants, there are also two types of programs and test. The NATCEP is for those that wish to work in nursing care facilities, while the PCA is for those who wish to be in personal home care services.

There are two ways to get your name on the Nurse Aide Registry. One option is to take the license exams after applying for them. Another is by applying for reciprocity. Each of these two methods has its own set of requirements, but there are also some that are present for both methods.

The number one requirement to become eligible to apply for the exams is to receive the proper training and educations, especially on the Fundamentals of Nursing. Those who want to become a nursing assistant can enroll in a CNA training program that offers NATCEP. These programs take 90 hours to complete. Nursing graduates and foreign nurses can also apply for the exams. Nursing assistant students from other states may also apply, if the training that they received is similar or equal to the training that is required in New Jersey.

The second option is only available for those who are already a nursing assistant that is currently registered to another state’s Nurse Aide Registry. They will need to provide to the state’s DOH proof of their training, education, and working experience. The applicant must also not have any records of patient abuse, negligence, and misappropriation of the patient’s property.

A common requirement for all who want to become a nursing assistant is to undergo a criminal background check. This includes those who are applying for reciprocity, getting a certification through taking the exams, or even those who are renewing their licenses. For those who are applying for reciprocity, the CBI application and fingerprinting forms will be included in the reciprocity application packet. The investigation process averagely takes 12 weeks to finish. Those who are already working in a long-term care facility will be given a temporary license if they answered “No” to the application questions.
