One of the ways for you to get your CNA certificate and be able to work in the state as a nursing aide is to take on the license exams. Before you are able to take the exams, you must complete a state-approved training program. Programs that are taken outside of the state, regardless of being certified, will not be honored.
The training programs for this state take only 6 weeks to complete. If you feel that you are not ready or able to take the exams yet, every applicant is given a maximum of 2 years to take the exams. If you are already working in a Medicaide/Medicare health facility, you will only have 4 months to take the exams.
The license exams are composed of a written and a skills evaluation exam. If you are not familiar with English, you may request to have an Oral exam instead of a written exam. Examiners will only be allowed to read what is on the questionnaires. They will not be allowed to translate the exams or explain them. For any questions, you can call or visit www.pearsonvue.com. They can be reached for questions regarding scheduling and the examinations by calling toll free to 1-888-204-6213.
