Becoming a nursing assistant in this state does not take that long and is open to those who want to start a career in the profession.

The most important thing that you will need to become a nursing assistant is to get your name entered on the state Nurse Aide Registry. The only way for it to be entered there, if you do not have a CNA license is to take on the license exams. The exams for the state are handled by Pearson Vue and must be taken only at approved testing sites. The two part test includes a multiple choice part and a skills demonstration part. Once you pass both parts of the test, your name will be added into the registry and you will be a certified nursing assistant.

Another option that is open for those who want to become a nursing assistant in the state of Minnesota is to apply for reciprocity. Those who are allowed to do this are those nurse aide license holders from different states. To do this they must submit the Interstate Endorsement Forms along with other requirements.

Once an applicant has been certified and included on the state registry they are eligible to work for up to 24 months. Before that time is up the state will send a renewal form that must be completed showing that you have proper work verification to qualify to renew your license. You can call the MN Department of Health at 651-215-8705 to speak with a support person for further details.
