There are a lot of requirement in the state of Kansas that are very much similar to other U.S states in order to become certified to work as a nursing assistant. Like many others, you will be required to enroll in and complete a state-approved training program before you will be allowed to take the license exams. Taking the license exams is the only way for you to get your name entered in the state’s Nurse Aide Registry. The state will not allow any nursing assistant to work in a nursing facility if he/she is not able to pass the test.

To ensure that you will become eligible for the exams, you should only enroll in a program that is certified by the state. These course are required to provide at the minimum, 90 hours of instruction that contain both coursework/lectures and hands-on task practice. Once you complete the program and get the authorization to take the exams from the state, you can then apply for it. If you pass the test, you will get your license and be a certified nursing assistant. Call the registry to get more information about how you can qualify for a nurse aide license at (785) 296-6877.

Registered nurses from other countries are also welcome to apply for the exams. They will only be required to provide proof of their training and education such as transcript of records, and meet the minimum required number of hours for clinical experience. Nurse aides that come from other states are also able to work by applying for reciprocity. One is still obligated to take the license exams to get their name entered in the Registry. Before they are allowed to take the exams, they must first be preapproved and go through a background screening since the state does not offer reciprocity to all states.
