The goal of the Nursing Home Reform Act is to provide better quality care to patients in different health care settings from the different health care providers. To help achieve this goal, all aspiring nursing aide candidates must now undergo proper training and take the certification exam.

The certification exam in Virginia is conducted by NACES with the help of Pearson VUE. It consists of a 70 item knowledge test and a random practical skill test. The knowledge test can be taken as either a written or oral exam. If a candidate is able to pass all the tests, then he or she will be granted a CNA certification.

You can apply for the certification exam if you meet any of the following conditions:

–    Pass a state-approved 75-hour program
–    Achieve at least 40 hours of providing nursing services as a nursing student while enrolled in a nursing school.
–    Graduate from a nursing school within the last 2 years.
–    Have a Virginia-issued nurse aide certification that has not expired for more than one year.

You can download a copy of the application forms from this link:

If you become unavailable on your examination day, you are entitled to one free rescheduling. Rescheduling is free of change so long as you notify NACES at least 5 business days before your exam date. Please be reminded that all payments are permanent and are non-refundable.

The examination results are released on the dame day if there are no technical problems. The names of those who will pass will be forwarded by Pearson VUE to the state’s Board of Nursing. You can then expect your CNA certificate to arrive at your mailing address within a week or two.

Initial certifications in Virginia are only valid for one year. CNAs must meet the required number of working hours to qualify for renewal. Once a holder is able to renew his certification, his new certificate will be valid for 2 years.
