To be able to work as a nursing aide in the state of North Carolina, you will have to get your name on the Nurse Aide I Registry. This can be done by completing a state-approved training program and then taking on the evaluation exam or directly challenging the exams.

The second choice is for nursing graduates, nursing students, and nursing aides from other states who want to immediately take the evaluation exams. Although not necessary for them, it is highly recommended that they complete a N.C. approved training program before taking the exam to help them prepare.

These programs offer 75 hours of training which are divided into lectures and practical training.  While enrolled, you will be taught in the different concepts of the Fundamentals of Nursing and the nursing aide tasks. The list of the tasks that a nursing aide is able to do are listed below; to get more detailed information, you can follow this link: http://www.ncbon.com/content.aspx?id=826.
