Enrolling in a state-certified training program is a basic requirement in becoming a nurse aide. To be enrolled in one, you must be at least 18 years old; must not be on the Department of Health and Senior Services employment disqualification list, and must not have any records that prevent you from working in a nursing facility.

The latter portion mainly refers to those who are already in the healthcare industry. Having offenses such as abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of the resident’s property will get your name on the EDL. Once your name is on the EDL, you will also get a Federal marker. Those who have Federal markers are no longer able to work as a nurse aide taking care of Medicare/Medicaide patients/residents.

After getting the necessary education and training you will become eligible to challenge the CNA license exams. Taking these exams is also a requirement for those who are applying for reciprocity or Interstate Endorsement. By passing all the tests, your name will automatically be added to the Nurse Aide Registry. Your certification will need to be renewed every 2 years if you want to remain eligible for work in a long-term care facility.

You can learn more about certification qualifications by contacting the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services at their phone line at: 573-526-5686 or email them with questions at: info@health.mo.gov
